Dancin' on the bar...my kinda place...you able to serve homebrew in there? Probably not.
 
Pretty sweet looking pub. I'd love to open something like that. Better yet, live in a town where a pub like that would be supported. That's one of the major gripes I have with living across the pond in the USA, the businesses and city centers of our towns are usually so spread apart, the pub appeal loses something. That, plus the mass generic commercialism of mediocre drinking and dining options.

PS: The Trans-Am is pretty bad ass. :)
 
Thanks for the comments

It's going well, and I'm beginning to introduce craft beers,
got blue moon in on draft, not a common beer over here.
Have a good selection of bottles but people not trying too many, they seem to want to try my homebrew which I can't sell legally. I might introduce the odd sampler after hours if it gets people trying something different. Going to keep pushing the cause

How appropriate that you like to push the limits since you have a Smokey and the Bandit car!

Lol, not only that but I live right on the county line, 100 yards to the left is bandit country
 
That's exactly how I'd want my bar to look like.

Any reasoning behind the name? Previous name of the pub, your name or some funny story?

I live in a place called Ballymoe. I thought Moe's would cause debate over whether its ftom the town name or the Simpsons, its from town name.
 
If you ever get to sell homebrew, you totally need to name a batch Duff (or something just different enough to avoid litigation) for Simpsons fans.

or even Fudd...

I'm doing 2 of my favourites next week, a dark lager and an amber ale (but with lager yeast, just to see) I think I'll use the amber as Fudb (f**ked up duff beer). I can't sell it but I can have a drink after finishing for the night, someone might happen to try one with me)
 
Where exactly is this pub? Looks like UK. And I'll be ordering the ingredients for that dark lager Friday. German steam rouchbier anyone?

The pub is in Galway Ireland
Ive got the ingredients for the dark lager as well and brewing next Monday, just finished my ferm chamber today and doing a temp test tnite, fingers crossed. Good luck with the brew, let me know how you get on and we'll compare notes
 
Absolutely. I settled on white labs 029,ale/kolsch yeast that gives a clean,lager like ale at 65-69F. Should be pretty good. Should be pouring in time for my birthday.
 
Great looking pub! Hopefully I can talk my wife into a trip in the next few years and I can experience it first hand. Slainte!

Love the pub (and the car).

Where specifically are you in Galway? I'd love to stop in for a pint next time I'm over.

Co Galway, on the Roscommon border
Give me a shout or pm & we'll have a couple of brews, hopefully ill have one of my own on tap, not for sale obvisiously (well during work hours)

I had that identical car in high school except mine was a '78. Although, not many people I went to school with knew what it was (graduated '02) and everyone else drove fart canned Honda's. Oh yea, and kick ass bar!! :rockin:

I just spent 10 days and traveled the entire perimeter of the Ireland. What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL country. Of all the places we went, Galway was by far our favorite. The Quay st area will be the first place I return to whenever I make it back! Anywhere near that area?

Never mind, Just looked on a map and saw where you are at. We didn't make it that far inland.

BTW, you a Donegal or Mayo fan? We stayed the night in Westport the day of the big game.

Dude, that's because you live in Florida. Sprawl city usa. I live in LA and I once lived in both Philadelphia as well as Scranton Pennsylvania. People love a rocking pub in any of these cities. LA used to be anti-pub, but luckily craft culture finally creeped up here from San Diego. Yes, lA and rural PA suffer from sprawl culture. But that is solved by having pubs everywhere. Sitting in a similar looking gastropub right now in my neighborhood. Get out of the sticks before you say our country lost pub culture.

Cheers to the new pub sir. Will try to visit one day.
 
Beautiful pub. hope i can stop by before i move out of the u.k. you sir are living the dream. I love how here you can serve beer after hours, back home you have to kick everyone out at close. but down the street at the local pub if we are there at close, we can stay till four.

hope to visit when i come to your side of the islands.

cheers.

I will absolutely swing by for a pint. Would love to try some Irish homebrew.

We go to Clifden every year and usually throw in a day in Galway on one end or the other (gotta have me some Crane Bar). Would be fun to add Moe's to the route.

Florida, especially south Florida is a difficult place to make a pub work. But i am gonna try.

OP, great car, bar and ladies. Best of luck to your venture, I bet it will be an old pub one day, with lots of great memories.

You don't need a passport, just a drivers licence or any other offical photo id
