| Which would you prefer to see in a basement, a typical hang out bar with bar size fridge, sink, and barstools, or a kitchen area with a standard size fridge, stove, microwave and an eating area with a table and chairs? |

| We combined and have both. For holiday food preparation we have a 2nd cooking area. And, when entertaining it is not necessary to transport food down a flight of stairs. The bar is still comfortably sized to hang and we tried to make the area look more like a bar than kitchen. Photos of ours are linked from "My Page" |

| kathyanddave, I also live in the KC area and would like to ask you if you can give the store name of your custom cabinet maker. I saw that you live in the KC area on one other post. I am going toward the bar type in basement with a base cabinet of 60 inch against the wall with an island right in front of that for bar stools. |

| Kitchen area. I am doing my basement. Always wanted and thought I would want a Bar Bar. After much consideration, I decided to get w/ a Wetbar. Main reasons: wetbar won't promote alcohol as much to our kids when they get older, wetbar takes up way less room than regular bar w/ bar stoles, wetbar makes the basement not look as much as a basement. Good luck. |
