Custom Built-In Bar

A full L-shaped built-in bar designed and installed for a private club, featuring custom shaker-panel cabinetry in soft gray and a live edge red oak slab top that runs the full length of both legs. The slab was sourced, sequenced, and worked by hand to preserve the natural edge along the public-facing side, where guests sit and lean.

The cabinetry below was built to commercial-grade standards — sized to fit the room, the storage needs of an active bar, and the rhythm of a clubhouse that gets real use. Trim and base details were matched to the existing room. Seating shown is the client's; bar build is mine.

Built-in bar commissions like this one are available on commission for clubs, lodges, restaurants, and serious home builds. Each project starts with a site visit and a conversation about how the space actually gets used.
