I am thinking of putting a bar in my shop where I currently have my office/visiting space. There are a lot of creative folks in this forum, so I thought ya'll might have some suggestions or advice.
The space:

You could just get rid of some of those what do they call them....books and you'd have room for liquor.
Nailed it you're welcome
and the clothes rack in the corner could be a wine/cigar cooler
Shop? Where are the tools?
Nice spot though....
You got a furnace or what in there looks warm to me is that weird that it looks warm?
My shop has a furnace, yes.

I am going to put in a fridge in that spot.

The tools are in the rest of the building. The pictures only show the office area. The whole shop is something like 50×30.

I'd convert the whole thing into a lounge.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Just the thread title made me think "yes!"

comfortable chairs, all else is optional.
Shelves on the wall for the books, use the shelving unit as a liquor/barware rack. (I’ve seen guys take old glass doored gun cabinets from garage sales and make damn fine bars out of ‘em.) Fridge in the corner as planned, lose the little red nuker, keep the radio & the stuff on the top 2 shelves. Turn the bottom left drawers of the blue desk into a CO2 bottle cubby, close off the knee well with a faced plywood door panel painted flat black to hide it & stick a pony kegerator in there. Run the tap through the desktop. Bar tools, towels, coasters, etc can go in the right side drawers. Lose the flourescents & wire in recessed can lights or flush mounts with variable light temp LEDs. Couple dark leather club chairs, an occaisional table between them for your table lighter, ashtray & to support your beverage du jour, perhaps with an over-the-shoulder reading lamp. A decent old guy’s club style area rug for that hard azz concrete floor and to soften the accoustics a bit & yer in biddnezz.
These are the lights:

That does sound pretty darn cool, @Trykflyr_1!

Shouldn’t be all that spendy either.. Garage sales & second hand shops are your friends. You gotta get a big azz stuffed muskie for the the wall tho!
I hung a door to separate the bar from the back of my shop. It is just an old door my folks had lying around. It is more narrow than the opening so I used some blocks to space it. The blocks will be covered by trim. Hanging doors isn't something I've done much of, but I think this turned out pretty good. The upper right corner is a tad snug, but a block plane will fix that.

A long ass level really helps for hanging doors.

I also used a four foot level, it was on the other side of the door. The short one was used for the top of the frame.
