In all seriousness, I ultimately decided that my basement needed a social island more than a bar.

Definitely 1800 square feet of underground poker room!! I suspect there might be an exercise room somewhere in the corner...I just haven't found it yet...LOL!!That's a basement, or underground poker room?
Nice table!Had plans on finishing my basement poker area years ago. Started adding decor to the walls and getting comfortable down there so here we are 18 years later and still unfinished. Pictures are from last night and not set up for cards unfortunately. The couch gets moved out and replaced with the poker table and the hanging Bud fixture gets lowered closer to the table top on game nights.

Thank you so much, Adam! I appreciate that. Yeah I personally feel that poker tables should be monochrome in color. I get easily confused and don’t want to lose the colorful chippies on the table. It doesn’t make for the most pleasing looking table but it functions well.So much potential Alan , when you win the lottery Love that table. Classy, and doesn't hide the chips.
That's why you do a portion of the work yourself...so you can afford a big ass slab of quartz for your peeps to drink around. Less than $20k spent finishing 1800 square feet. Seriously though, you can end up with a top quality basement if you subcontract (or do) a portion of it yourself.Show off! Hahaha
Seriously? That’s amazing! It cost me $30k to finish mine! I had to sub most of it out though. I put the insulation in, hung the doors, base and case and painted. But I also had to put in a separate HVAC unit and that was $7k alone.That's why you do a portion of the work yourself...so you can afford a big ass slab of quartz for your peeps to drink around.

Love the idea! Looks like a great space.My drywall became my Wall of Fame. I can never finish my basement now.

Some of the people have since passed so those names can never be replaced. You can see how it has filled in over the years.

Already have a decent table and chairs covered, looking for good lighting options and decor ideas to bring the space together. Anything sports related works really well with my crowd. Sizing would be approximately 30 ft by 30 ft for that area. Thanks for the reply!Space size and wants?
Got a slab, unfinished in terms of walls, sufficient lighting etc.How "unfinished"? Have you at least got a slab? Or is that considered part of the definition of "Unfinished basement"? - as opposed to "crawlspace".
That’s epic. One of a kind stuff is always a show stopper. Good work.My drywall became my Wall of Fame. I can never finish my basement now.
