good website, very informative.
FYI, though, your math is little off ~
41.5 inches to the underside of a 1.5 inch countertop = 43 inch bar
height.

The design looks very nice. I just have one simple quetion. Where does the
countertop stop on the bartender side? You mention 11" overhang, does that
measurment start from the 1/2" drywall on the inside or from the end of the
42.25" side of the bar? Thanks.

Scott,
There is an 11-inch overhang on the long wall towards the bartender. On the
42-inch wall, the overhang towards the bartender is 22 inches to cover a
smaller refrigerator. All measurements are from finished drywall.

how many feet do you need behind the bar to move around in. I'm working
with limited space.

Charlie,
I would say at least 2.5 feet or 30 inches.

My bar has an attched wooden step for a footrest. It is covered in the
same carpet as the rest of the room. We are removing the carpet and
putting down tile. I want to remove the wooden step and add one of those
metal footrest (looks like some type of pipe). My problem is that my bar
is curved and I haven't been able to find curved metal (pipe) to use for
the footrest. Any suggestions?

Am building a similar bar in basement and using granite as countertop.
Question is can I use 3/4 inch plywood as base or should I go with metal.
If so should it be one plate or brackets. And lastly where did you buy the
metal plate? Thanks for your insight.

Cooper,
You can use plywood if you want. But what about the exposed profile?????? A
local welder sold me the steel plate.

We are constructing this bar of laminate and it is actually an L shape.
Each leg of the L is 66" long. What are my options for support on the wall
side of the bar? Is there an option that doesn't require legs?
This area will have a Touch screen game on it that is quite heavy.

Susan,
There are many options, and this tiny space isn't designed for them. Talk
with a seasoned finish carpenter.
