Just add Guinness: the strange world of prefab "Irish pubs"
« on: March 14, 2017, 09:13:21 am »
The Irish Pub Company offers Irish pub interiors in six styles: "Modern," "Brewery," "Shop," "Country," "Celtic" and "Victorian." Choose your package and they'll ship you a bar, as well as "flooring, decorative glass, mirrors, ceiling tiles, light fixtures, furniture, signage, and bric-a-brac."

They're partnered with Guinness, and ship ready-to-assemble pubs all over the world: in 27 years, they've outfitted more than 500 pubs, including establishments in Russia and Kazakhstan.

ÓL Irish Pubs, a competitor of the Irish Pub Company, goes further, building and installing pubs, including ones in private homes and on cruise ships, and participating in menu development.

A third company, Ballance, bills itself as "Irish Pub 2.0," and promises pubs built "in three days with materials from Home Depot."
