I can't help but think that the majority of people out there don't want a bar in their house. Either they don't drink, or don't like drinking enough to dedicate an entire room to the endeavor. Tikiphiles are even more rare... therefore, you'd be lucky to find an enthusiastic buyer who wouldn't immediately dismantle your "baby". I've heard far more stories of people removing the bars from their newly bought homes than people putting them in. The prevailing idea being that the home bar is a relic of the past. Which is probably true. Which is part of the reason we all do it, isn't it? Anyway. When I put my little tiki cave together, it's for me and mine. To HECK with the real estate market. -Joe
