My new venture

[WastedCider]

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.

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.

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 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.

Beautiful inside and out. Definitely my kind of place

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.......🎸🎤🍺🍻

Bless you for trying. Hope you do one in Broward, not near the waterfront.

 

[woknblues]

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

Ty, i like the sentiment, old pub with memories, nicely put

Won't be anything like the OPs fantastic looking place I can tell you. But I might park a sweet sweet T/A in front too!

Next time I go to the UK I'm going to go and have a few pints!

Ill post a pic of my mustang for the muscle car lovers out there, this is outside my house (Galway, ireland)

 

[Oldskooler]

Very nice. Congratulations, looks like a fun place.

 

[oakbarn]

Lovely Pub. What beers do you serve? All REAL Ale (I am a member of CAMRA)? What town is this in? I miss my Sunday Lunch at the Pub. I was stationed at RAF Alconbury in the 1970s. My favorite home brew is Raymond's Best Bitter, named after my late friend Raymond Gossey who introduced me to Real Ale.

 

[maltoftheearth]

I was in Galway back in Fall 1995 but I think we stayed in Cong overnight. They had a theater that ran "The Quiet Man" something like every day of the week. Would have much preferred a visit to your pub, looks awesome.

 

[Blue-Wolf]

Looks good, and looks like alot of fun. Good luck with your new venture. Maybe one day I'll be able to do something like that myself.

I will brave life and limb to visit if you open in FL. Good luck sir.

 

[beowulf]

Wow what a neat looking pub....looks cozy and somehow idyllic, which is what many of us here across the pond think of when we envision an Irish pub

Love the Trans Am as well....

Lol. Don't listen to Top Gear. It isn't anywhere near as bad as they say.

I don't know if I can make this work off the iPhone but here's my car too. Maybe one day it will be able to park in front of your pub!

Didn't work but park it outside and leave it for the night, we'll have a session

 

[BigB]

I will be in Galway late summer/early fall next year. I'll add your pub to the itinerary!

OK...now it should work. There is is.. the only classic Mopar on Miami Beach... all those other "losers" here drive around in Italian cars...really flashy and noisy...

Niiiiiiice

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 drove my mom's '78 Gold Edition Trans Am in high school (1982), then years later I bought one for myself. Wish I would have kept it.

 

[limulus]

Beautiful place and love the classic muscle. My daughter will be finishing up at Oxford in England this summer. She and a friend are going all over Europe after that. I'll check her Ireland itinerary and have her stop by if she is in Galway.

 

[TwoJays]

Never been to Ireland but now have one more reason to go. Lovely looking establishment! So what are the hurdles like there as far as being able to sell your own product? I've heard something about low abv limits on commercial stuff, too, is that still alive?

 

[OhCrap]

Wrong thread sorry

 

[highgravitybacon]

I saw the "new venture" thing and the trans am out front and my thought was, OMG, he's building Knight Rider! That's my childhood dream! But it's a bar instead. That's a different dream.

 

[j1laskey]

Any Tom Crean's on tap?
