Basement Bar Remodel in Bath, PA
Moody. Modern. Made to Entertain.
A finished basement used to be an afterthought—maybe a couch, a TV, and a leftover mini fridge. But this basement bar remodel in Bath, PA proves that lower levels are now taking center stage as stylish, social spaces with all the design potential of the main floor.
Designed by Laslo Custom Kitchens and built by Anthony Construction, this remodel brings a bold, modern look to a formerly overlooked space—transforming it into a moody, multifunctional bar that’s perfect for entertaining.
A Bold Color Story
We started with full overlay cabinetry in Sherwin-Williams SW6988 Bohemian Black on Fusion doors, delivering a rich, modern tone. The dark cabinetry contrasts beautifully with the Caesarstone Rugged Concrete countertops, which bring texture and a matte, concrete-inspired finish that’s right on trend.
Matte black hardware from the Blackrock collection in a black bronze finish adds a final touch of edge while maintaining clean, minimalist lines.
Key Features of This Basement Bar Design
Floating Shelves Add Warmth and Balance
The natural wood floating shelves flanking the flat-screen TV add both form and function. They visually break up the dark cabinetry and offer open access to glassware and spirits, making the space feel more connected and approachable.
Dual Flat-Screen TVs for Full Entertainment Mode
Entertainment is the name of the game here. One flat-screen is placed directly above the bar, while a second faces the adjacent lounge area—perfect for keeping tabs on the game from every angle.
Waterfall Island That Anchors the Room
The oversized island, fully wrapped in Caesarstone Rugged Concrete, adds seating for five and plenty of hidden storage. Its clean lines and monolithic presence make it the centerpiece of the room.
Built-In Beverage Storage and Premium Appliances
This basement bar isn’t just for show—it’s fully equipped for real-world entertaining. The setup includes an XO undercounter beverage center, wine cooler and ice maker. Glass fronts and stainless trim offer a sleek, commercial-style aesthetic while keeping everything visible and at arm’s reach.
A built-in GE wall oven and smart dishwasher give the space full-service capability, so drinks and appetizers are never more than a few steps away.
Custom cabinetry includes:
- X-shaped wine cubbies for bottle storage
- Glass-front upper cabinets to showcase glassware
- Floating shelves that make it easy to grab a rocks glass, wine glass, or tumbler mid-pour
Whether you’re hosting a cocktail hour, a game day gathering, or just unwinding with a glass of wine, this bar is designed to serve—stylishly and seamlessly.
Matte Black Lighting Fixtures
Instead of traditional pendants, matte black cylinder lights on the ceiling provide a clean, contemporary feel that complements the rest of the design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is full overlay cabinetry?
Full overlay cabinetry means the doors and drawers cover the cabinet frame almost completely, giving a sleek, modern look with minimal gaps between components.
Is Caesarstone Rugged Concrete a good choice for a bar?
Yes. Caesarstone is a non-porous, durable quartz surface that’s perfect for bar tops. The Rugged Concrete finish adds texture and style while resisting stains and scratches.
Can I install a bar like this in a smaller basement?
Absolutely. The key is smart space planning. Even with a smaller footprint, you can include essentials like undercounter appliances, floating shelves, and custom storage.
