back bar cart updated-square.jpgFull scale bar car with miniature back bar as drawer front. The miniature scaled back bar is modeled after the historic James Joyce bar in Baltimore. Fabricated mostly of steel, the cabinet and drawer sides are rusted panels of steel giving it a look of leather. The bar top and shelving (of the full scale parts) are solid black walnut. A well is carved out of the top for rolling objects such as lemons and limes. The drawer front is back lit allowing the glass bottles to glow. The globe light fixtures are also functional on a separate light source with LED bulbs.
