Browse our home bars gallery featuring wet bars, walk-up basement bars, and built-in entertaining spaces designed and built by Claman Custom Homes across Central Iowa metro.
A great home bar isn’t just about drinks; it’s where game nights get loud, holidays feel relaxed, and Friday evenings don’t require a reservation. Whether you’ve been saving mini bar ideas on your phone for years or you already know you want a full wet bar anchoring your walk-out basement, the builds below show what’s possible when your bar is planned from the ground up. Every bar in this gallery was designed by our in-house team alongside the homeowner, not added as an afterthought, but built into the floor plan from day one. That’s the difference between a bar counter for home use that actually works and one that looks good in a photo.
Take a visual tour of our homes. From spacious interiors to luxurious exteriors, our homes are designed to exceed your expectations. Browse our gallery to see the many ways we can create the perfect home for you.
There’s a reason our clients in Central Iowa, Waukee, Ankeny, and Johnston use their bar more than almost any other room in the house. When home bar construction is part of the original build, not a retrofit, everything works the way it should. Plumbing for the wet sink lands exactly where you need it. Electrical for the under-counter fridge and pendant lighting is roughed in during framing, not fished through finished walls later.
Our clients bring us all kinds of ideas: a reclaimed-wood accent wall behind floating shelves, a waterfall-edge stone countertop, and a bar layout wide enough to seat six without feeling crowded. Our in-house designer helps shape those details into a space that fits the flow of the basement or main level, complements the rest of the home’s finishes, and holds up to years of actual use. These aren’t display pieces. They’re built to be the room your family and friends never want to leave.
You’ve seen what a custom bar can look like when it’s done right. Now let’s talk about your layout, the materials, the details that make it the room everyone gravitates toward. That’s what Claman builds.
