-  the bar and chairs

-  the storage needed for the alcohol

-  refrigeration  for bottles and possibly a kegerator

-  any requirements for water and sinks and the plumbing

-  any electrical work because of increased electricity use

-  perhaps even lighting to create the right atmosphere

-  and finally those finishing touch bar accessories like individualised bar runners, drink coasters and pub signs.

Within your home, it’s your spatial situation which will largely influence your renovations magnitude and complexity.  And off course the money you wish to spend
