The Thrifty Gamer

I drink quite a bit and it can get expensive at times. Of course there is the outrageous rates that bars and clubs like to charge for alcohol but also there is the cab fare to get home (I never drive drunk and neither should you!) Still, sometimes my friends and I don't want to go out very far because everybody has work or school the next day. Contrary to popular belief, you don't actually need to be a chamillionaire to be able to have a swank little home bar for those days when you just want to relax

For starters, make sure that you are able to find some good furnishing. You don't have to buy the fanciest most expensive bar stools because you have plenty of other options when it comes to sitting since it will be in your home. Just get some cool looking cheap furniture to give it a slightly more bar-like appearance. The alcohol is actually the more important factor because it is not going to be a one-time expense. Just make sure to start with a drink that you know and love and spiral out from there trying to make as few purchases as possible for the biggest combination of drinks. Just make sure you don't end up with bottles of alcohol that you never touch because that would become a waste of money.

If you do shopping online, it can also save you quite a bit of money and you can find many varieties of liquors that are not easy to get. For example, I love Raki (a Turkish liquor) which cannot be found in most liquor stores around my area but can be bought from online. You will also find alot of cheap furniture that still looks pretty cool.

Having a home bar can be a very convenient location for an unplanned get together or even just a night to unwind.
