Party Room Idea: Get A Home Beer Vending Machines

April 21st, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

What is the difference between a commercial vending machine and a home beer vending machine? Yes BEER!!! Commercial vending machines are nice but they are filled with water and soft drinks and what would you like to complete your basement recreation room, poker or party room? Yes Beer!!!

Home beer vending machines work like ordinary vending machines. The drinks are well lit for easy selection. They are icy cold, and they shoot out to you as soon as you make a selection. The big difference between a home beer vending machine and a commercial vending machine is that you don’t have to insert dollars or quarters into your home machine.

Tips to ultimate your party room

If you’re putting a home beer vending machine into a basement party room, here are some other “Man Cave” accessories to make your room more fun and successful.

• Plenty of comfortable seating for your friends and their wives.
• A bar or counter is another popular option, so friends can literally “belly up to the bar.”
• Include at least three bar stools, and put a mirror or TV set over the bar so “patrons” have something to look at while they enjoy a drink from your home beer vending machine.
• You need games for the home party room.
• Forget about children’s games; you want adult games in your party room.
• Use old dining chairs for seating in your party room.
• Use a folding table surface to convert the table into an instant poker or game table.
• Invite friends over to play poker as you all enjoy your cold home brewed beer.
• Put up a dart board and arrange dart tournaments.

If you have a few hundred dollars, get a pinball game. Pinball is fun for all ages, and it adds a colorful, noisy element of enjoyment to the whole room. Don’t be afraid to buy a pinball game. Most communities have a handful of pinball service and repair specialists who can keep your game tuned and ready to play at all times.

Along with your home beer vending machine, consider installing a hot dog cart in your party room. What could be better during a poker match or while watching the big game than drinking a cold beer from home beer vending machine and eating a juicy hot dog, dripping with ketchup and smothered with relish and onions from your own hot dog cart.
