    Hi! can you please put up a picture? Also do you need help about advice how to pull it down?

    What do you want to put in it's place? Are you closing it up into a wall or opening the space up?

      Water lines or drain pipe? If water lines,cut back as far as you can with 1/2 inch tube cutter and use press on Sharkbite caps(easiest for non-handy guy).If drain,cut back as far as you can, and leave enough to put on a cap,use right size, if abs. Use rubber cap if copper pipe.

    Yes - it's simple to cap off the water supply & drain lines - but consider having a licensed plumber do the job. He can assess the effect on the remaining water/drain system - & should there be a future leak it will be the plumbers' liability to fix & restore any affected floors/furniture/etc.. I'm a licensed journeyman plumber myself - but REFUSE to make any repairs/up-grades in our house. If something goes wrong - I WON'T be the one to endure the backlash

    ( ad nauseum! ) from you know who..... Your home insurance also probably won't honor a repair bill - since the work was NOT done by a licensed professional.

    Unlike the above suggestions - set a motto in your head: "FUTURE ACCESSIBILITY". You never know when you might need those water/drain lines for a future renovation. You cut them back too much - & you'll make a great deal more work for yourself doing retrofitting.

    Make sure you properly seal/cap the drain beneath the floor so you don't end up w/backup of water or smell from an unused drain pipe. To remove the supply lines -- fresh water -- pipes from at the sink leading to the wet bar, cut the pipe at/near the sink, leaving room to add a cap and then cap the lines. If hiring a licensed plumber is not an option, spend some time on you tube getting "how to" info from multiple sources so if one leaves out some info relevant to your project, another vid may have that info. Good luck.
