Hewitt Custom Cabinets builds home bar cabinetry for bonus rooms, basements, and entertaining spaces that deserve more than a bar cart pushed against the wall. These are built-in cabinets sized to your room, with storage for glassware, bottles, and bar tools designed in from the start, not bolted on after the fact.

This work comes up a lot in Woodway's established homes, where homeowners are upgrading past the standard tract-home finishes that came with the house. It's also a common addition for Hewitt and Robinson homeowners finishing out a bonus room for entertaining.

What's included

What's Included

Typically included: base cabinets, open shelving for display, and countertop prep coordination for the bar surface.

Optional: wine rack inserts, glass shelving for glassware display, and accent lighting to highlight the bar area.

Customer prep: if you're adding a wet bar sink, have a plumber lined up since that plumbing work is a separate trade we coordinate around.

FAQs

Home Bar Cabinetry FAQs

What's the difference between semi-custom and full custom home bar cabinets?

Semi-custom bar cabinets use pre-sized modular units arranged to fit the room. Full custom cabinets are built to your exact wall dimensions with no filler panels.

Can you build around an existing island or do I need a new one?

If your bar space has an existing island or peninsula, we design cabinetry to work with it. If you're starting from scratch, we build new cabinetry sized to the room.

How much does home bar cabinetry cost?

Cost depends on cabinet count, wood species, and features like wine racks or glass shelving. We give a written estimate after a consult.

How long does a home bar project take?

Most home bar projects run 5-7 weeks from design approval to finished install.

Do you handle the plumbing for a wet bar sink?

Plumbing is handled by a licensed plumber as a separate trade. We build and install the cabinetry around the plumbing location.

Can you match the bar cabinetry to my existing trim?

We can match stain and finish to existing trim or built-ins elsewhere in the home.

What storage features can I add to a home bar?

Wine racks, glass shelving, and accent lighting are common additions depending on how you entertain.
