The Shebeen is a cute little pub on wheels that travels around Ireland catering to parties, weddings and social gatherings. Completed in late 2014, this towable watering hole measures only 4.2 x 2.1 meters, but faithfully recreates the atmosphere of an authentic Irish pub.
This portable pub is fully stocked and includes glasses, mixers, alcohol and everything else you'd find in a regular pub, including a bar, seating for up to 10 people, a cooler, electric stove, sound system and LED lighting. It takes only an hour to set the pub up for service once it's rolled into its location; if said location doesn't include an electricity hookup, a generator can be used.
The Shebeen is available for hire and costs $815 a day. It's perfect for outdoor gatherings and parties where you don't want to have to worry about organizing booze for everyone.
