Has anyone ever converted their basement into a bar?

Tweet

We are finishing our basement so I want to plan all this out ahead of time rather than do everything and then be like "uh... I wish I had done x, y, and z instead." So we're adding a kitchen into the basement but I want a bar as well. Half of our basement is going to be a bar/game room with a pool table and stuff, and the other half is going to be a theater room (I got the wife's permission, yes). So is there anything I should look out for or avoid when converting a basement into a bar? My favorite part so far has been trying to decide on bar stools ( http://www.barstoolsonly.com ). I think I'm going to go with a retro 70s style bar appearance, just cuz that's the decade it was when I frequented bars a lot and I want to be reminded of that. Ok, any help is appreciated. Thanks!
