Currently I am working on a renovation for a client who is completely updating a historic home in the area. In order to bring a really fun and interesting element to the space, we are hoping to locate a vintage canopy pub bar for their study.
After a ton of research, I have run across some really cool things. These carved, wooden bars have so much personality that new custom cabinetry would not possess. I can envision their friends and family posting up at the bar during football games and holidays while enjoying a pint.

Personally, I love the bars that have the original side doors and quirky details, like the brass "bank door" above. You can make a few updates, such as adding stone countertops or changing out the lighting, that will customize each piece. I am looking forward to the final product and providing an extra special place for their home.
