Find me a single new build in McLean or Bethesda around 2million or so that doesn’t have a wet bar.[/quote]

McMansion filler that I’ve yet to see anyone use in 30 years, which isn’t surprising because hard liquor sales have been declining over a similar time period.

Boomers are getting older, drinking less, the richest Millennials just discovered Scotch and are pretending to like it, and Gen Z drinks even less. I doubt wet bar is even a top 20 category in Houzz.

At least you can argue those extra bathrooms are for entertaining, but there’s diminishing returns after the 5th bathroom. [/quote]

I guess you’ve been living under a rock then if you haven’t seen them used in 30y because this one was built last year and has a real wet bar... https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1241-Kurtz-Rd_MC-Lean_VA_22101_M64238-21430[/quote]

This link totally makes the case that it’s McMansion filler!  Sure if you have 8000 square feet and you have massive large room after massive large room, go for it!  Still don’t think it will get used much but it’s not hurting anything.[/quote]

Well the PP said “that I haven’t yet seen in 30 years”. OPs question was about a 5000sqft house. Here is another example currently being built below 5000sqft which has a wet bar. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3841-Military-Rd_Arlington_VA_22207_M98481-88740[/quote]

I like the one in this house.  If you're going to do it, that's the way to go.  The photos do paint the use case that we're all hanging out in the basement playing pool and throwing back drinks.  Fine and also something I would never do at a party and totally gives me frat house vibes.  But doesn't mean other people can't do it and have fun![/quote]
