Its 5 oclock somewhere!
Just a bit blurry and probably the way I was feeling this evening in late Sept. 2008. You can still get the picture that this bar comes alive at night with all of the creative lighting.

I concieved this outdoor entertaining structure 3 years ago following a very damaging October storm that decimated over 90% of the trees in Buffalo NY. It is now the only shade we have in the yard. I designed it so that when in the structure you feel as though you are "spilling" into the yard and the yard is spilling into the bar area.

The dimension of the tiki bar is 15' x 15' square and 15' high at the front high point.

The bar seats 8 and is 8 ft. wide.

Under each bar stool is a fiber optic "Star Stone" that changes colors giving you a total resort island feel.

A total nautical theme with bar signs surrounds the seating area.
