A fully stocked bar these days should include more than a good assortment of liquor. Audio and video equipment, in the form of flat-panel TVs, built-in speakers and a sleek touchpanel style remote control, can help loosen everyone up. So if you have a home bar, or are thinking about adding one, be sure to leave plenty of space for technology. The following 10 bars showcase what’s possible.
Mark,
If you’ve done a system (home, home theater, whatever) you think we should profile on EH, drop me a line.

Lisa,
I think we are mising something here. TV and Crestron at a bar are nice, but 10 versions of the same thing are a bit redundant here.
Who wants to do an interactive bar where control is built into the surface, individual TV windows can be brought up like digital placemats at each chair giving each patron a different experience? Couple that with a mixology app, to explore new drinks, an eSommelier to manage your wine collection, and a dance floor cam to show you the action across the way. Then do a TV Mirror behind the bar, and a lighting system that interacts with the mixology app to light up ingredients you need as you press them on the digital surface.
That would be a bar, and we build stuff like that. Lets find a taker, and do an article on the future, putting these in the distant past.
Best,
Mark C
