Fortunately, I already have electricity permanently wired to the bar (there is a beverage fridge and kegerator already in the bar). I'm currently in the design process of getting running water (mostly to be able to rinse barware and hands)...fortunately I'm a water resource engineer for a living and in a former job designed municipal drinking water systems. My plan involves an NSF approved potable water hose from the house. I'm hoping to get by with "hose temperature" water. The bigger part of that project is dealing with the waste water. Since its not going to be high volume usage and only "grey" water, I'm planning to install a crock/french drain near the bar. Maybe along the lines of tikiskip's suggestion, I should consider ice cube trays and something along these lines: http://amzn.com/B00L7QVT8S http://amzn.com/B00MVVIMG0 I could also pickup a bag of ice and leave it in there. As well as use it for keeping mugs frosty or storing Navy Grog Ice Cones, etc.
