When my wife and I had our house built almost six years ago, I knew some day I'd build a wet bar in our game room. To prepare, I had the builder stub out plumbing on the wall and arrange the windows to allow to serve as a pass-thru to the pool area. Well, several projects later (including a cozy home theater) I finally finished my wet bar, and here it is!

Here's a picture from the bartender's view. The back contains a microwave for the movie popcorn, a combo fridge/ice maker, sound system for the gameroom's tv/music as well as the music for the pool area outside. To tie the bar in with the pool, I used the same black glass mosaic tiles on the backsplash that we used in the pool. You can also see a bit of the candy counter in the foreground.
I used Absolute Black granite counter tops and installed the same granite in tiles on the floor of the bar area. For lighting, you can see the puck lights to illuminate the belly-up, there's rope lighting under the arm rail to light the front, flourescent lighting in the candy counter, and two halogen spot lights that shine on the bartender's work area. All controlled from the switches above the candy counter.
Finally, I found an antique wind-clock on eBay and installed it in the canopy for that English pub look.
