Honomobar is the Shipping Container Bar That Can Go Where You Go

We loved it when Honomobo debuted its sleek, ultra-modern line of shipping container homes. Luckily for us, the Canadian company didn’t stop there. Brace yourselves: the Honomobar is coming.

Honomobo changed the modular housing game with its series of dwellings that completely rethought what a shipping container could be. The designs thoughtfully incorporate materials to enhance the structure, not hide it, and the finishes result in a quality, contemporary home that is also affordable.

Building on the foundation of its foundation-less homes, Honomobo has gone one step and created a shipping container bar. Honomobar is created from a single recycled shipping container and polished with the brandsignature style.

The bars, measuring just 100 square feet, can be placed anywhere. No, really — the display model was hauled up the side of a snowy mountain for an afternoon of ‘boarding and beers.

From poolside in your backyard to lakeside at your cabin, Honomobars go everywhere you do. Because these structures don’t need a foundation, you aren’t limited bywhere they can be placed. They are delivered in about four to six weeks and are ready to use so you can get the party started right away.

The bar layout is pretty basic. There are two back walls, a door, and an L-shaped counter. There are floating shelves on the back wall for displaying and storing bottles and glasses. This basic arrangement is decked out in sleek touches that create the feeling of a high-end, exclusive bar.

The exposed shipping container walls are painted black, which is offset by the light wood, Canadian fir butcher block countertop. While no plumbing or electrical is included, there is a junction box that allows for the bar to be hooked up to an extension cord (provided, of course, you set up the Honomobar close enough to a source). The entire structure is able to be closed up when not in use thanks to an aluminum roll shutter. Hydraulic lifting arms allow the bar window to easily be opened, turning it into a canopy for the bartop.

Honomobo is currently taking limited orders for 2018, so get yours in now and have your Honomobar delivered in time for an epic Memorial Day weekend.

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach
cigar lounge

I was at Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach earlier this year when the idea for this weekly spotlight first came to mind. I was in town to interview Floyd Mayweather Jr. at a yacht party that turned out to be as bombastic as the 15-time world champion himself. The trip kicked off with dinner at Claudie for a taste of the French Riviera. I was whisked into the restaurant’s private dining room, where guests included a slew of GNC executives, former NBA players, and Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.

After five or so Old Fashioneds, three of us decided to keep the night going, and we were all in the mood for stogies, which is always a great idea during one of Miami’s muggy nights. Española Cigar Bar & Lounge was the place to be, and if you’ve ever walked Española Way on a Friday night, you understand why.

Feeling stuck or behind? Here are the five days you need to schedule every month
HIker standing in the sunrise

It feels like every single month, when the calendar turns over (figuratively speaking, unless you still have a physical calendar), there is no way it is already the first of a new month. It can feel like you are stuck in the middle of a grind, that you are behind on everything, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t catch up. Or even move forward. That can weigh on you. Just like a new year creates new motivations, new planning, and new goals, you can break the months into smaller scales.

Your monthly calendar (and even further, going to the week) should reflect the things you want to accomplish. And, if you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you are falling behind, here are five non-negotiable days you should set up every single month to set you up for climbing out of your funk.

On the anniversary of “Dr. No,” here is every EON Bond movie ranked
James Bond at a casino

International James Bond Day is here, and we have been putting all our time and focus into honoring our favorite double-0 with multiple launches, a watch and a book, his best looks, and a ranking of the men who have portrayed 007 across the last sixty years. Today, on the anniversary of Dr. No (the first mission to hit the theaters), we look back at all 25 films under the EON banner (no parodies or spin-offs here) and give you our definitive ranking of every 007 adventure. Some will surprise you, some will not. But all of these are a good time.

Apart from the fact that he wears the same clothes that I wear, he and I really have little in common. I do rather envy him his blondes and his efficiency, but I can’t say I much like the chap. – Ian Fleming
