Garage Man Cave FAQs

What should every man cave have?

Every man cave should have some form of entertainment, a refreshment area, and comfortable seating. If you have a hobby, then it’s the perfect place for displaying a collection. Don’t forget about creature comforts, such as heating or AC, to make the space comfortable to be in.

What is a good size man cave?

Your man cave can be as big or as small as you’d like. However, if you have an intended purpose for it, then your cave needs to be big enough to comfortably accommodate the furniture and activities you want to do in your man cave. Consider how many people you plan to have over, as this can also influence how large your man cave needs to be.

How do I turn my garage into a pub?

Turn your man cave garage into a pub by giving it a relaxed and welcoming feel. Add accent lighting that will make it dimmer in the cave to mimic the light level in a pub. Build a bar on one side that you outfit with shelving for liquor bottles, a beer fridge, and glassware storage. Add comfortable seating in the form of bar stools, armchairs, love seats, and sofas. Add a TV or bar games to give people something to do while they are drinking.
