A ‘mancave,’ ‘mantuary,’ or ‘manland’ is the place where a man can be himself, indulge in his hobbies, and hang out with his friends.
The ideal mancave is defined by the type of activities you can do there and how uniquely it is designed.
Some interesting ideas include playing pool, taking beer, watching sports and sports betting on sites.
Here are 5 ideas and activities that the most popular mancaves seem to share.
The Open Bar
Alcohol is probably the most essential product in any mancave. It's always fun to do most of the other mancave activities without a beer in hand.
It can be a fridge packed with different beers and spirits or an entire corner with all the features of an actual minibar.
Whether you spend quality time alone or with your friends, you will always need a few drinks whenever you hang out in the mancave.
In this section, you can also store and showcase your most sentimental drinks and wine bottles.
The Sports Section
As men, we all have a sport or sports games we love watching and supporting. It might be football, soccer, NASCAR, basketball, etc. and having access to watch these games defines a mancave.
You should have a dedicated sitting space and a large screen where you can watch sports with your friends.
The sports section is usually the centermost and most spacious space in most mancaves.
It should also be an area where you place bets on your favorite teams with your friends.
The Gaming Arcade
Having a personalized home game arcade is probably the most definitive idea of any mancave.
This is the section in your mancave where you erect a gaming machine, a pool table, and a gaming table.
Most ideal mancaves have different gaming machines, different billiard tables, and a large gaming table for different casino and board games.
The gaming section requires a huge investment. But once you have it set up, it might probably be the place you frequent the most with your friends when you hang out in your mancave.
The Rev Corner
We all have stuff with a lot of sentimental value to us. It might be a baseball card, a sports jersey, a skateboard, bike, art pieces, or even a vintage car.
These are the things you store in the rev section of your mancave.
It is essentially the area where you show off your most prized possessions that most of your friends don’t own.
It is the section that brings out the ‘wow’ factor whenever anyone visits your mancave.
Depending on your space and the number of prized possessions you own, the rev section is what sets your mancave apart from your friends’ mancaves.
The Comfort Zone
We all have that one thing we like doing during our most comfortable time. It can be listening to jazz music, barbequing, or reading a book.
Your comfort zone is a personalized area in your mancave where you indulge in your number one hobby. For example, if it’s listening to jazz music while reading a book, you can have a comfortable couch with a music system next to your bookshelf.
Whatever your activity you love indulging in most, your comfort zone should be the place where you zone out when hanging out in your mancave alone.
