[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s wrong with having some bar seating? Whenever we entertain, people always immediate take the bar seats on the bar we have on our covered porch and our island seating before our other, arguably much more comfortable furniture. I think that type of seating leads to easy conversation and a more laid-back atmosphere. [/quote]

I think the issue is would it get used in a basement.  Me personally, I would never entertain adults in my basement and that wouldn’t be any kind of gathering point.  It’s where the kids go during a party.  And I have a nice basement.  It’s just my above ground space is much nicer and plenty big.

I can also say I have never been encouraged to hang out in the basement at anyone else’s gatherings or parties either.  It’s either family space or kid space.  [/quote]

But the point is a wet bar isn’t an actual bar. (Though I agree with the PP you’re responding to that bar seating can be inviting.) It’s a place for drinks and such. Our kids and oversight guests use ours all the time. [/quote]

Lol, overnight guests*

I have a feeling the term “wet bar” invokes a lot of 80s paneling and bar seating. I have nothing against wet bars and/or sometimes full bars in basements if done well on a small scale—which hopefully would be what OP would put in. I wouldn’t want an 80s kitchen in my new build or an 80s wet bar. But they can be done to look very pretty if desired...or entirely basic in a way they fade into the background and are just a usable benefit for those who spend time in their basements. [/quote]
