ScotBrew said: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?

or even Fudd...

Where specifically are you in Galway? I'd love to stop in for a pint next time I'm over.
Here's a couple of pics of my new pub (6mtns open now)
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
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?
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.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.
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)

cheers.
My kind of night., too bad you need a passport to go there from England, gonna make my wife get one soon .It's 4:30 here and just in from work, closing time is 12:30 fri & sat. So I closed........the doors, turned off the juke box, told everyone to be quiet while they heard the phsst of a beer with flavour being opened and started to play the guitar all the while enjoying my own dark lager.......?dfb8?dfa4?df7a?df7b
Florida, especially south Florida is a difficult place to make a pub work. But i am gonna try.
