OK really quick update for those following along - Decision has been made, it will be a U shaped workspace.  Standing with your back to the basement corner - to the right will be a 6 foot workbench plus 2x2 low roll away dolly, for transporting full carboys.  To the left there will be an 8 foot section or workbench, and straight ahead there will be an 8 foot work/ bar aree.

On either the bar or the left end work area there will of course be a sink.  Underneath will be room for  a minifridge for two kegs, plus space/power/water for a dishwasher.  Under all three sides, except fridge an DW area will be shelving, set back about 8 inches so not banging legs into it...

Bartop I am going back and forth on still; it will either be bottle caps or bar coasters under an epoxy poured surface.
