Serving Lakeway and nearby communities.
Golf-course and lake homes around The Hills and Bee Cave regularly add a wet bar for entertaining, and that cabinetry gets treated differently than kitchen cabinets. Lakeway Custom Cabinets builds bar cabinetry as a dedicated project, sized to hold glassware, bottles, and a wine rack, and finished to handle ice, spills, and splash near a sink.
We design the layout around how you actually entertain. Open shelving for display, closed cabinets for bulk storage, and counter support sized to the bar top you choose.

Home Bar Cabinetry FAQs
How much does home bar cabinetry cost in Lakeway?
Most home bar projects run $5,000 to $15,000 depending on size, countertop material, and whether plumbing tie-ins are involved.
How long does a home bar project take?
Build time runs 4 to 6 weeks after design approval, with install completed in 2 to 3 days.
Do I need a permit for a wet bar?
Cabinetry alone doesn't need one. Adding a sink, ice maker, or new electrical circuit typically does.
Can I build bar cabinetry myself?
A freestanding bar cart or basic open shelving is a reasonable DIY option. Built-in cabinetry near plumbing or electrical should go through a pro.
What finish holds up best near a bar sink?
A sealed hardwood panel with a moisture-resistant topcoat handles splash and ice better than an unfinished or painted-only surface.
Can you add wine storage to an existing bar?
We can build wine rack inserts into new cabinetry or retrofit select existing cabinet runs.
