Phase II. Outdoor bar with canopy















A while back I had decided in order to complete my dream outdoor kitchen, it would require the presence of a bar to top it off. So now that Phase I is done (Smoker, pizza oven, sink, island w/refer, and a roof) it was time to complete this already over the top project. The bar is 14' long, and is five blocks high. The bar top itself is oak planking that came from the floor of a semi trailer. With some sanding, routering and sealing it promises to hold dozens if not hundreds of bottles and cans of whatever the adult flavor of the day might be. For this project I plan to do a technique I have never done, and that is to stucco the bar front and sides. With the kitchen assembly and island veneered with brick, this time out I wanted to push the edge of my creative being. So, we will see how that one turns out.





Footnote: Since I have not posted much lately, I will just say that we have utilized every aspect of the kitchen. be it a pizza night...or beef briskets...pork butts... or my newest fave think to do is grilled chicken over wood fired coals. Suffice to say my bills and the butcher shop have gone through the roof.
