Don't Take Our
Word for it...
HIRE ACS Woodshop! Chris Stadler is the most conscientious, kind and skilled contractor I have ever worked with. He is totally invested in every stage of a project from design to install. His install crew is absolutely top notch. I have always done work myself but am so glad that I found and chose ACS Woodshop.. I now have a beautiful basement bar, TV room and office with Chris Stadler's supreme woodworking. If you live in the Annapolis area, hire him. You will not be disappointed. He has my highest possible recommendation. Thanks Chris!

I found Chris through another woodworker who wasn't able to complete a project for my company on short notice. Chris was the savior we didn't know we needed! He was knowledgeable, communicative, and easy to work with despite all back and forth about the project. The custom bar he built for our trade show will be the star of the whole booth and I can't wait to show it off to our clients. If you're looking for a reliable and quality craftsman, I cannot recommend Chris enough. You won't be disappointed!

We were impressed with Chris’ work from start to finish. He is an excellent communicator and skilled woodworker. Aside from building beautiful furniture, he and his team are also timely and extremely thorough and tidy. Would (and already have) recommended.
Jim D., Baltimore, MD
We were 100% satisfied with ACS. Working with Chris was very easy, and it was clear from the beginning that although he was an exacting craftsman, he was still flexible and open to changes. He had many suggestions about layout that really improved upon the base design we started with. The cabinets turned out great, and we've received many compliments from our friends and family.

Hosting Should Feel Effortless-Your Bar Should Too
Entertaining is personal. It's the small things-refilling a friend's drink without missing a beat in the conversation, reaching for the perfect glass in the perfect spot, turning up the music or lighting with one touch. And when you're the host, your space needs to work as hard as you do.
At ACS Woodshop, we believe a custom home bar should support the way you entertain-not force you to work around it. Whether you're pouring wine at a book club, setting out bourbon for a tasting, or watching the big game with the crowd, your bar should make it feel effortless. Built-in storage. Smart layout. Mood lighting. Power where you need it.
We craft home bars around the way you host.
We Design Bars With Your Lifestyle in Mind
"Nothing We Looked at Had Space for Everything We Use"
That's what Megan S. from Harpers Ferry, WV told us. She and her husband had seen dozens of bars online. But not a single one checked every box: space for their wine collection, shelving for his whiskey, stemware storage, fridge for mixers, display for rare bottles, seating for guests, and surface space for snacks.
​
Most pre-fab solutions looked nice in pictures but fell short in real life. Others tried to be everything at once-but felt cramped or cluttered. That's when she called us.
​
The truth is, no two households entertain the same. Some throw big game-day parties. Others host quiet wine tastings or Friday-night. That's why we start with one question:
"Tell us how you host."
We'll build around it.
We Make It Easy to Create the Bar You've Been Imagining
When you hire ACS Woodshop, you're not just getting a contractor. You're getting a design partner, a cabinetmaker, and a detail-obsessed woodworker who listens, plans, and build with intention.
We specialize in taking loose ideas and turning them into detailed, functional, show-stopping bars. You bring your inspiration-we'll handle everything else.
​Our bars are design around the way you live.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Every ACS home bar is designed around you-your space, your taste, and your entertaining style.
​Hosting Game Day?
Let's build a bar with open views of your big screen, seating for friends, and fridge for beers.
​Love Wine Nights?
We'll include built-in bottle racks, a wine chiller, and soft lighting to set the mood.
​Want a Classic Pub Feel?
We'll do with dark woods, brass rails, mirrored backs, and vintage trim.
​Prefer Modern Simplicity?
Sleek, clean lines, neutral finishes, and integrated lighting are all on the table.

A Custom Bar That Doesn't
Steal the Spotlight
Not every homeowner wants a bar that announces itself. Some prefer elegance over exposure. Some want a space that functions beautifully, serves guest with ease, and disappears into the decor when not in use.
​
If you're the kind of homeowner who prefers subtle luxury over loud design, you're in the right place.
​
At ACS Woodshop, we specialize in discreet, custom home bars that blend seamlessly into your home's design. Whether disguised as a console table, built into a bookcase, or integrated into a wall panel, our hidden bars offer the function of a full-service bar with the look of refined furniture.
​
We proudly serve homeowners in West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and the DC Metro area who are looking for a more tasteful, tailored approach to entertaining.
Your Hosting
Experience, Reimagined
Imagine walking into your basement, turning on the soft lights above the bar, opening the wine fridge, and setting out glasses while guests arrive. The bar glows. The wood gleams. Your friends take a seat at the perfectly spaced stools and instantly feel welcomed.
​
That's the ACS difference.
​
We don't just build bars- we create spaces that set the tone for gathering. For connection. For hospitality that feels both elevated and effortless.
​
Whether you're starting from scratch or ready to replace that unused corner with something extraordinary, we'll guide you every step of the way.
​
You bring the people. We'll build the place.
