A pimped out garage hang out area is better than a bar inside your house IMO. Garages are less formal - leave your shoes on and do a quick hit and run before going out. No need to wander into someone's house and interact with their wife and/or kids. Just have fun kind of outside. I think a converted shed with a little space heater is cool, too. My friends and I have stopped going into each other's houses over the past few years for whatever reason, but garages are fair game. Home bars kind of seem like what baby boomers thought were cool when they were in their 30s/40s. I don't see it working as well nowadays, at least for my group.
