Creating the perfect man cave is an art—one that requires finding just the right balance of stuff. Whether you’re building your own man cave or trying to find just the right luxury gift for someone to put in theirs, we’ve put together a basic list of things that should be a part of every respectable man cave.
A man cave is where you go to get away, so it kind of defeats the purpose if you have to leave it every time you want to grab another beer or snack. Even if there isn’t room for a fullsize refrigerator, a mini fridge that’s kept well stocked with beer and food (but mostly beer) is one of the cornerstones of any respectable man cave.
Some occasions call for cocktails over beer, which is why every man cave should also have a full set of bartending tools. That means shakers, corkscrews, bottle openers, muddlers— the whole shebang. Whatever the guys want to drink next time they come over, you should be able to mix it for them (or get them to do it themselves).
No disrespect to the iPod, but there’s a reason people still hang on to their vinyl collections. When it’s time to put on music, the full sound quality of a real vinyl record just sounds so much better, while a genuine turntable adds distinct charm to any room.
You deserve to hear your music as loud as you want and with all the richness of its sound intact. Good quality speakers may cost a little more, but once you turn up the volume and hear what that song you love should really sound like, you’ll never once regret the investment.
Playing cards with the guys just isn’t the same if you’re not playing with a set of genuine poker chips. Next time your buds come over to play a few hands, impress them by busting out the professional-grade cards and accessories.
Whatever you like to watch in your man cave, you deserve to see it in high definition on a big, glorious screen. And if movies are your thing, we recommend investing in a digital projector and other high-quality video equipment, too. Trust us, it’s worth it.
Traditional man cave games include pool, ping pong, and air hockey, but in the 21st century there’s no reason the list can’t include an Xbox or a Playstation, too. A man cave is
all about keeping yourself entertained, so fill as much space as you need to have all the things that do just that.
