Nope, most of the furniture came from
3d Cafe. The rest was modelled by me and it was pretty easy, because everthing is straight and could be done with boxes. The beer-taps (is that what they're called in English????) were made by lofting an ellipsis along a spline and using a FFD modifier to tweak it a bit. But this probably doens't make much sense when you're starting out. Check out the site above, there are tutorials there as well.
You might also want to try
this tutorial which I came across today. It seems pretty exhaustive. Off course MAX ships with a whole CD with tutorials as well. There are also Open Source alternatives, most notably
Blender and you can download a Personal Learning edition of
Alias Wavefronts Maya 3D. I don't have much experience in both of them, but I've seen great results by people using these programs so...
