One of my favorite home bars I ever saw wasn't SUPER tiki, although it did have bamboo trim around the full 'rumpus room' kitchen. When I say FULL kitchen, I mean it.
They had an indoor rotisserie bbq, a convection oven, a regular stove and range, a microwave, full fridge, and double sinks. And this was IN ADDITION to the actual full wet bar-
which stretched all across the short wall of the basement (probably 20') with a red vinyl padded rail.

The really amazing parts were the full sized shuffleboard court laid into the VCT flooring and the full sized single lane bowling alley in the basement.

Sadly, the upper level of the house had been renovated in the mid-70s and probably early to mid-90s, and any original charm upstairs had long been destroyed.

:(

I LOVED that basement...

I wish I'd gotten pictures of it.
