Sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately until my "adult" (I say that loosely) daughter moves out (a decade maybe) I won't be able to have a Man Cave. Please, as you build this, post lots of pics and let me live through you.

I'm still in the planning stage and gathering props and decorations.

I did decide on a couple must have's for the theme tho.

#1 I want to use a hidden door of some sort. Most likely will use a sliding bookcase to hide the liquor shelves.

#2 I'm a huge John Dillinger buff and am dying to find an Authentic wanted poster. Preferably one listing the murder of Sheriff Sarber since I am from Lima, OH.

I though mancaves did one, but it might have been monster house. The have big whisky barrels and a wall of old wood slats that had small hidden cabinets in the wall.

Monster House did a speakeasy/gangster themed bar room several years ago.

I was thinking of attempting to replicate the bullet riddled/ blood stained St. Valentines Day Massacre wall.
