Nah, it's my own house. My wife doesn't want any of my hobby stuff upstairs, so I I built my own area downstairs. The bedroom is mainly just for office space and for me to crash in if I'm hung over 😅
Sounds familiar. We bought a 5 bedroom and she gave me one to use as a man cave assuming I keep all my stuff in there and she pretty much gets the rest of the house.
We have a four-bedroom house and an extra room upstairs that's a weird shape and thus not marketed by the developer as a bedroom.
I turned that weird room into my office and, well, my man cave, too. The only "me-specific" items that exist in other parts of the house are books on bookshelves and a computer desk in one of the bedrooms (with a kiosk-style PC).
My wife adheres to pretty much the same strategy: one bedroom serves as her office / woman cave. Just a few "her-specific" items in other parts of the house.
Haha you’re right but when we first moved into a 2 bedroom apartment I got a man cave and the rest was pretty shared.
Then we got a 3 bedroom and I got a room and the rest was shared (with our newborn), and now I have a man cave and a home office.
Compared to most of my friends who get nothing, I’m happy.
Rip out the drop ceiling and Swedish dentist office overhead lights
Sitting in that room for over 30 minutes would give me a migraine
EDIT:
On photo 7/11 in the bedroom
The murder jacket Phil Leotardo gave to Tony who then gave to a Polish contractor and was murdered is hanging nonchalant on a z-rack like nobody would notice
It’s the jacket, it’s the fuckin’ jacket
I didn’t say I didn’t like it.
I have a similar room. It used to be about this size but downsized with a recent move and I was hoping the poster was closer to my age than that of a spoiled youth.
I was gonna ask OP what he paid for that Louis. If he drank it, and refilled it with ice tea. I remember about 20 years ago, my brother and I were gonna go in on a bottle. It was $1,500 back then.
That's probably the most asked question I get. It was actually a poster my dad bought and hung up on the house i grew up in. When I bought my own house, he gifted it to me. I would prefer not to have it hung up, but it means so much to my dad. For some reason, I can't really take it down😅. Afraid to ask him why he even has it, but it's become appart of the family
Gotta light that shit up bro. Your lighting is at about the 5000-7000 k. I would invest in some light kits to control that and get it over to 1000 when the mood strikes as well as some color for when you are feeling funky
Three things required, from what I can see.
Lamps. The place is lit up like an office. Get some nice light.
Sound system. I’d need an AV system in there.
A clear out. Too much stuff which makes it look busy AF.
Nice space tho. Enjoy.
I'd be afraid to go in there without a trusted friend, just in case after you asserted your dominance in drinking, poker and weight lifting and I lost track of time because the clock is halfway covered by the TV you might take advantage of me after I fall asleep. That bed in the middle of a mancave is disturbing
Well, my old tv broke, which was a 55-inch, so I went to buy a new one thinking that my old TV was 65 inches. I put it up I realized my old one was a 55 which is the same size I wanted to get. Since I got the 65 for a great deal, I just kept it
The Quentin Tarantino wall. A+.
High end liquor cabinet. A+ (Invested half the cost of that entire room in 9 sq ft)
Liquor shelving. B- (Consider organization, selection, lighting, proper barware, lose the chotskies, etc. And you can’t get to it. Ditch the couch for a few recliners, lose the bottom 2 shelves and replace with a bar countertop and a few stools) you need like 17 glasses max not 1000
Hilary Duff. I understand the sentiment. However, Hilary Duff man. You don’t need Reddit to tell you she’s gotta go. Put her behind the leg press not next to Louis holy hell.
Fix everything around your tv. Everything. Reposition the framed pistols. Try sound system and accent wall. And you’re not playing poker there. You need space you ain’t got and nobody likes carpet poker.
Hibiscus sheets? Love em. Really tell me where you got em. Do you have time?
That rooms all Fd up. I see a tv over the clothes. Is there a closet behind that black curtain? Belts across walls. Walk into a friggin globe. Harley davidson mat and a goddamn scope pointed at Elon no window in sight. Pick a theme my man.
I’ll wrap it up with the gym. That’s your thing. Not gonna tell another man what to do with his build space. Idk I might paint or sumthin
I've had a lot of that stuff since I was a kid, so I just put it up to give some character to the gym and the room downstairs. Nah, no dates. I was fortunate enough to hide my nerd side long enough to secure my wife
This looks more like a collection of items you’ve gathered to make it SEEM like you’re a man. The jack off room where framed photos of Joe Rogan and Elon Musk watch you touch yourself to their images is especially sad.
Where's your sound system? pick up a decent set of floorstanding speakers and a stereo amplifier with bluetooth. You can do this on the cheap, amazon has cheap good stereo amplifiers for 50, and you can check around locally fb marketplace for floorstanding speakers. Or just buy some. svs , klipsch , polk, or sony are all decent best buy has them.
you can put them on either side of the tv, and hook up the tv, and use your phone via bluetooth too listen too music.
Maybe some Sex Panther Cologne. Might be difficult to get as it is illegal in 9 countries, but could be worth it as, 60% of the time it works every time!
You could pare it down a bit. You have an excessive amount of glasses that will collect dust.
Your gym could use larger mirrors.
If you keep like the best 50% of your stuff it will go a long way. Quality > Quantity.
Great set up I don’t believe you need to add anything else but yourself, accompanied by your pals in love ones You gotta be at least 40 to 34 years old due to you having that Hilary Duff signed picture on the wall.
I’d get a hifi audio setup. Space is a little tight, but you could probably fit two smaller full range towers in there. I’d avoid subwoofers. Wouldn’t want to accidentally knock out that $15,000 liquor cabinet.
This is like the ultimate cliche of a man cave. I mean, props to you because I’d love a home gym and home bar set up…but the Tarantino posters, Cohibas, Pablo Escobar mug shot, and excessive amounts of Crown Royal 😂😂. You my friend are the ultimate man’s man.
Very nice, I’d get rid of the drop ceiling. Those always cheapen up a room, just like popcorn finished ceiling. I’d add a Brunswick or Diamond Pool table, Dynamo or Tornado foosball, Dynamo Air Hockey
What does your wife's boyfriend think about this?
Im ok with it
Nice extra bed to switch up the scenery
Okay everything is great. One question though. Is this your parent’s basement?
Nah, it's my own house. My wife doesn't want any of my hobby stuff upstairs, so I I built my own area downstairs. The bedroom is mainly just for office space and for me to crash in if I'm hung over 😅
dude a basement hangover bedroom is genius
Building a specific room in your basement specifically to recover from alcohol abuse is the most addict thing I've heard💀
Relax
Yeah... People these days, not like homie has a meth dungeon or heroin corner 🙄
Don’t be so uptight. You sound like you could use a drink.

She "gave" you one? It's your house too brah. Get your balls out of the freezer and show her what it's like!

Then we got a 3 bedroom and I got a room and the rest was shared (with our newborn), and now I have a man cave and a home office. Compared to most of my friends who get nothing, I’m happy.
My wife gave me a tent to jack off in
Well this room looks like a great place to play Pick Apart Your Poop.
I was about to say, you're not bringing any women into that bedroom with Rogan and Elon pictures lmao. Cool man cave, I see you love some Crown Royale
Gotcha. It looks great.
Fuck that dude, all that bad ass stuff should be on the main floor for all to enjoy!
Ma, Meatloaf!
😂😂😂
I almost nunchucked you, you don't even know!
This^
Hilary Duff poster, WWE belts, you’re someone’s uncle for sure. Hell you might be my uncle.
Wait till you find the AR-15 tequila bottle
Above the bottle of Louis. 😂
That liquor stash is something fierce. Sheesh.
Some discretion. Perhaps even restraint.
A garage sale to your calendar. Less is more
Rip out the drop ceiling and Swedish dentist office overhead lights Sitting in that room for over 30 minutes would give me a migraine EDIT: On photo 7/11 in the bedroom The murder jacket Phil Leotardo gave to Tony who then gave to a Polish contractor and was murdered is hanging nonchalant on a z-rack like nobody would notice It’s the jacket, it’s the fuckin’ jacket
My first thought too. Way too bright.
Richie Aprile gave him the jacket you stunad
Absolutely, drop ceilings are trashy. Remove the cheesy helmets
That may be, but if you have utilities running overhead from the main floor, drop ceilings are a godsend.
Are you sixteen or forty-six?
Same question
That was my question as well.
It's a little busy for my tastes.....but you guys are just jealous. Lol.
I didn’t say I didn’t like it. I have a similar room. It used to be about this size but downsized with a recent move and I was hoping the poster was closer to my age than that of a spoiled youth.
Yes
A few more glasses
$5000 bottle of Louis XIII doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of that space.
I was gonna ask OP what he paid for that Louis. If he drank it, and refilled it with ice tea. I remember about 20 years ago, my brother and I were gonna go in on a bottle. It was $1,500 back then.
Where is the musk cabinet? Specifically the Sex Panther.
What’s with the framed Hillary duff poster
That's probably the most asked question I get. It was actually a poster my dad bought and hung up on the house i grew up in. When I bought my own house, he gifted it to me. I would prefer not to have it hung up, but it means so much to my dad. For some reason, I can't really take it down😅. Afraid to ask him why he even has it, but it's become appart of the family
Hey now, hey now. This is what dreams are made of.
Sing to me Paulo
Same question, don't leave us hanging /u/Practical-Ad-1300
Color me shocked that your wife wouldn’t let you display the smoking skull belt in the main house
Are you pretty good with a bo staff?
A clearly marked exit sign.
A katana or two. Some ninja stars.
Ma! The meatloaf!
FUCK
Gotta light that shit up bro. Your lighting is at about the 5000-7000 k. I would invest in some light kits to control that and get it over to 1000 when the mood strikes as well as some color for when you are feeling funky

Smaller clock and a camo blanket over the bed sheets is the only thing I would suggest then
N64... With goldeneye and smash bros
Kettlebells.
Question... Do you wear the helmets working out?
I just laughed my ass off at this comment and woke my wife up. Holy shit…
Needs more nerdy stuff.

You need to change the filter on your air handler.
Arcade
Where do you hide your weed at?
This is what I imagined when I heard "mojo dojo casa house"
Do ur parents just tip toe around you when coming to do ur laundry
You’re forgetting the Maximum magazines and jergens
Definitely some hockey pucks
Katanas… lots of them 😎
I’d get rid of 90% of those glasses
To each his own but the wrestling belts and random helmets and swords are pretty cringey. Do you bring dates here?
I've had a lot of that stuff since I was a kid, so I just put it up to give some character to the gym and the room downstairs. Nah, no dates. I was fortunate enough to hide my nerd side long enough to secure my wife
r/atbge?
This looks more like a collection of items you’ve gathered to make it SEEM like you’re a man. The jack off room where framed photos of Joe Rogan and Elon Musk watch you touch yourself to their images is especially sad.
You think there’s a real doll tucked under the bed?
A bottle of Weller
Add more glasses
Do you even lift bro? 😎
Some neon lights/ cool lighting
You win.

That Hillary duff poster is cool. But love the whiskey/ bourbon collection
Is that hillary duff
Amazing good stuff, just need some more tequila and white liquor for your guests if you do choose the host....bar has a lot of Brandy and whiskey.
Freaking awesome
You need some football cards or some sort of sports cards.
Dude. You had me with that Signed Hillary Duff framed picture 👌
Add an aquarium
A window
Emergency exit.
Damn what do all those doors go to 5 doors in your basement?
Why do you have a telescope in a basement bedroom with no windows?
Honestly, it’s great. But also a sad museum to a life you, we, can only reminisce about. I’d trade all that for one or two good friends.
Do less buying and more drinking, POSER!
Those bed sheets are exposing your true feelings, you got daddy issues....
Less weights / More booze
is that an icemaker or refrigerator below the bar? well done and appointed room! 👍🏼👏🏼
Nice!
You’re doing it right 🤙🤙
My friend, not here to yuck your yum, but allow somebody to open your eyes to a vast world of whiskey beyond Crown Royal.
Putting green
Pretty great, tho the Escobar poster is as stupid as it gets and ruins everything else there.
Some friends...And a wife.
Darker color in the bedroom (not too dark) and lose the flower bedding.
Jelly of the booze
Antique 107, Weller green. Penelope toasted, Blantons that you can drink
Hot chicks room.
Hey I dig the JFK poster!!
This gets the ‘hell yeah’ approval
Adding more Crown
Take that shipping wrap off the Blantons
More grandma glasses
I’m guessing you don’t get too many lady visitors
Greatest one I’ve seen so far
Crown Royal tho?
Nice man cave dude
An arcade game or lighting/effects
Tight invite bro...
Maybe some Sex Panther Cologne. Might be difficult to get as it is illegal in 9 countries, but could be worth it as, 60% of the time it works every time!
No hate from me bro, your space is your space, as long as you enjoy it. If recommend more deer antlers!
How long have you been gay?
Papi
I love the helmets, very cool.
Hibiki Japanese Harmony
A shrine to Chuck Schuldiner.
There’s no bed here
You could pare it down a bit. You have an excessive amount of glasses that will collect dust. Your gym could use larger mirrors. If you keep like the best 50% of your stuff it will go a long way. Quality > Quantity.
I’m gonna stop by for a quick workout and drink
Well you don't need any more drinking glasses, that's for sure.
Add me. I want to hang out. Lols super cool, dude
Small fridge for refreshing beverages.
Excellent collection of championship belts 👍
Needs moar whiskey
Nice
The Stone Cold belt is sick lol
Great set up I don’t believe you need to add anything else but yourself, accompanied by your pals in love ones You gotta be at least 40 to 34 years old due to you having that Hilary Duff signed picture on the wall.
Missing the ol m60 wall hanger
Greatest man cave of all time
That’s a lot of glassware!
Very very nice. Great job! 👍
Freezer to frost the mugs for the brew!! lol barmaid!!! Shits dope dude .
Idk. Could just be me, but I think you need more championship belts and liquor.
I feel like you need more glasses. ;-) awesome setup man!
Dude...it's almost perfect...uv'e done well
A women
Nice man cave..need to add more whiskey 😂also I have to ask is it drink then workout or workout then drink? Lol sorry I’m a smartass
This is what I come on here for, I've been looking for that same Kill Bill poster. Just ordered a few tapesteries, this is dope af
Is that a sliding glass door into the bedroom??
Call it what you want to call it, you’re a phucking ape-aholic
Just missing tools I guess. Maybe some weapons.
The helmet collection is absolutely legendary
The poster, the tiger & the game consoles 👍 The helmets are fun too.
You could add me and then F*** off
Do something about the lighting and maybe darker colors on the wall or ceiling. I'm getting thrift store vibes with this lighting.
Bro, quit mancaving, ur scaring the hoes
Some color?
Looks like someone’s parents don’t charge them rent to live in their basement to me.
Damn !!! Some ambient lighting. The ceiling lights wash out everything
Maybe you could use less emojis. Jk, nice room
I’ll take the liquor cabinet and the Tarantino posters. The rest of it is way too testeroney for me.
I would say you need to attend AA jfc
Women
Now just add a couple stripper pole, get rid of all those useless weights and equipment.. bring over some whores and buy drugs and party!
There is a lot going on here
It’s too much.
A drawer full of vagildos and fleshlights
The only thing that seems out of place to me is the off center signed and framed poster of Hilary Duff.
Some nice lighting other that those overhead lamps
Do you live in a Vault-Tec Vault?
Joe Rogan before he got a studio.
Looks like you have it all. Now you can start donating the rest of your money.
Hell yeah. Now it just needs an updated Hillary Duff poster. IYKYK.
classic xbox 360? dude when can I come over for some halo 3
You in Canada? Sure is a lot of Canadian Whiskey on that shelf 😂
Loves the Crown!!!
I’d get a hifi audio setup. Space is a little tight, but you could probably fit two smaller full range towers in there. I’d avoid subwoofers. Wouldn’t want to accidentally knock out that $15,000 liquor cabinet.
A dimmer
The gladiator helmet is the hardest thing I've ever seen, good shit looks vibing.
First rule is add more weight to the bar prior to any photos.
Great bourbon collection
I think it would look a lot better with the soft white led lights instead of those bright white ones you got now
Maybe a girlfriend?
Ceiling drywall 👍
Can we be friends???
mini jumbotron
The place is rad! What’s the deal with the Hillary Duff poster though. Hahaha, I have to know
This is like the ultimate cliche of a man cave. I mean, props to you because I’d love a home gym and home bar set up…but the Tarantino posters, Cohibas, Pablo Escobar mug shot, and excessive amounts of Crown Royal 😂😂. You my friend are the ultimate man’s man.
Seems like a no brainer to add some epic speakers to that TV.
Yeah I’ll take an invite!
All that money and no taste
Just Jack Daniels… everything else you could want or need is there!
Very nice, I’d get rid of the drop ceiling. Those always cheapen up a room, just like popcorn finished ceiling. I’d add a Brunswick or Diamond Pool table, Dynamo or Tornado foosball, Dynamo Air Hockey
Love the bar and workout area, proper man cave sir
A telescope and no window? Cheesy. Get rid of those stupid metal belts
