Really sweeeeet bar. I was thinking of doing something like this in my back yard as an outdoor kitchen. Now you have me inspired. What did you use to color the concrete? Is that a fire pit off to the right? How big is your freakin' yard? Really nice, thanx for sharing.

Tuna the concrete was "stained" with actual concrete stain, it is applied after the concrete is hard and then a clear coat goes over it to make it pop!, fire pit is on the right and its basically a fire ring sunk into the cement a few inches, honestly the cement is where I have the most money because everything was recycled stuff from the poles and bolts from the power company, the roofing from an old barn being torn down, and the rest is basically a treasure hunt for deals on stuff to make it look cool or interesting. Good luck with your project!!!

What type of epoxy did you use and where did you buy it? Is it difficult to apply? The bar I recycled has to be redone and I might want to modify your great idea to fit my bar.

I used "Enviro Tex Lite" on my bar top. It was pretty easy to use and I got great results. They sell it at Michael's. It's not really cheap, but if you look in the newspaper or their website you can get 50% off coupons.
