Counter Top Suggestions Needed

I am building a back-bar in a closet area for a previously built bar. As you can see from the pictures, I am using reclaimed wood on all of the walls (both in and around the back-bar area). The cabinet is just being used as a 'place holder' to get the correct height. I intend to build-in cabinets that will span the length of the opening and contain the kegerator shown. Due to the large amount of wood surface(s), I am trying to decided what else I can use as a counter top and color suggestions. I am concerned that simply staining / painting wood will be overkill. I am looking for suggestions that can be completed on the less-expensive side that will maintain the rustic, weathered look of the walls.

i would do some kind of stone look.

the big box stores have laminate counter tops that actually look pretty nice.

or, tiling that small area would not cost much.

You want something gritty and authentic. Get the ugliest piece of quartz or granite you can find. A small piece that nobody wants might work perfectly for you. What most people would see as a defect could be a focal point for you. Probably pick it up real cheap.
