We had an old 80's Style bar in the house we purchased and it needed some upgrades. here is the old bar.
We added shelves new tap and bar top and made a blackboard sign from extra wood

We used two of these Acacia bench tops which were cut for us by the team at Bunnings:

New black tap was a mondella-matte-black-rococo
Shelving brackets were perfect for our look.

Hello @johnhead
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your bar update.
Your new bar looks very much updated when compared to the old benchtop that was there. The steel edge really gives it a nice industrial finish. All those extra updates you've put in complete the look such as the lights, the pipe supported shelves and of course the new tequila board.
Again, thank you for sharing such a fantastic project.
