After I completed the walls, floor, and drop ceiling, I built the bar. I used a basic straight-bar design from Bar Gear and modified it to fit my needs and location. All of the materials came from either Home Depot or Bar Boy.

Here are some photos of the bar.

The theater took another couple of winters of work. I staggered the studs on the walls and used risilient channel with rubber bushings on the ceiling in order to limit the sound transmission to other rooms in the house. I also raised the second level of seating for a better view of the TV. Eventually, I'd like to put in a front projector for a true movie theater experience.
