Home bar cabinetry is a custom-built bar unit fitted to your room, with storage for glassware, bottles, and small appliances. Converse Custom Cabinets designs the layout around how you actually entertain, not a generic bar cart dropped in a corner.
This is a popular add-on in Converse homes with open-concept entertaining spaces, where a built-in bar makes better use of the room than a standalone cart.

Home Bar Cabinetry FAQs
Do custom cabinet makers also handle countertops for a home bar?
We build and fit the countertop to the cabinetry, coordinating cutouts for sinks or appliances as part of the bar build.
What wood holds up best for a home bar near a sink or ice?
Hardwood panels with a sealed finish resist moisture better than untreated wood, which matters near ice buckets and spills.
How much does home bar cabinetry cost?
A compact dry bar starts around $1,800, while a full wet bar build can run $14,000 or more.
How long does a home bar project take?
Design and fabrication typically run 3-4 weeks, with install completed in 1-2 days.
Do I need a permit for a home bar?
Only if you're adding plumbing or new electrical circuits for a wet bar. A dry bar usually doesn't need one.
Is DIY a good option for a home bar?
A simple bar cart or open shelf is fine to DIY. A built-in cabinet with appliance cutouts is better left to a pro.
What's the difference between a wet bar and a dry bar?
A wet bar includes plumbing for a sink, while a dry bar is cabinetry and countertop only, with no water hookup.
