Pubs, who needs them?

Jimmy Garlic

I set up a ''pub'' of my own out in a big shed, insulated, telly, pool table, running water, electricity and a stove to heat it. A couple of friends have done the same thing. Strictly BYOA. I think it is the way forward. Screw goin into town to get screwed by greed.

So you have the garden shed converted to a man cave.

Not really a pub.

Thats all good. Certainly cheaper. But if you like meeting random people and having different nights out, then back home isn't the place to be.

Certainly is cheaper though.

The sooner we make the transition to titty bars the sooner the pub trade will pick up. Not paying a fiver a pint otherwise.

OP, any pics?

Thinking of doing something similar, wouldn't mind having a gander at your spot if you can.

I kinda do the same...except I allow people into my house...don't make them drink in a shed, it even has a toilet.

You keep spoiling them and they'll take advantage.

I insist in making passive-aggressive remarks, giving them dirty looks and acting like a prick in general before they come into my house. When they get in I wait until they get their drinks and I walk around and ask them for proof of age, if anyone makes a passing comment I forcefully remove them from the premises.

Gives the night a genuine feel as well as helping breed contempt all while letting them know I'm the boss.

Hardly a pub if you have to BYOB.

Had a great day in the pub yesterday so I must need them and you can shove yours up your hoop........thanks :pac:

But you don't have the possibility of the random social interaction that is part and parcel of going to the pub. No hot girls to chance your arm with. No unexpected lock-ins. No party spilling out into the street or smoking area. Nah, 's just not the same.

Reckon that I haven't set foot in a pub since October, or probably earlier. My memory doesn't stretch back any further. No need of them anymore.

I'd rather have somewhere to go to that isn't someones house/shed or a pub.
I used to really love gigs and events but my distain for arséholes has really made that more hassle than its worth.

44leto

I do
OP you just have to understand

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

biko

So you built you own "public" house?

Heard an interview with an old man on the radio who set up his own sheebeen in a barn, ceili music, byob etc. The guards kept raiding him and sending everyone home even though he wasn't breaking any laws. Threatened to take him to court if he didn't stop. So be aware OP.

I read the thread title as "Pubes, who needs them?" and thought, yeah he's right.

Friend of mine did the exact same thing. Timber lean -to, insulated, wired and plumbed. Mate built a bar and he acquired some pub paraphernalia. Beer kegs and fridge. Ye can smoke what ever you like in the place. Big screen and music.

All his friends converge in the place each weekend . For a year now. He has become quite popular with it.

Good move and great project.

I know a few people that have done same.
They still wish to gether and have a bit of 'craic' - expect they don't want to pay rip-off prices in a lot of cases.
Stuff the VFI and its state bullying! It can go stuff itself.

Few beers and the tv any night will do thanks.
