Lad builds his own sheabeen, and does a fine job of it!

  1. I’m absolutely mortified that the first thing you see there is a minor… and is not eating crisps with a coke. Shocking!

  2. Just curious was “sheabeen” a widley used term before covid? I know a few people who had pubs in their sheds etc but never heard them called “sheabeen” till they started getting raided during covid

  3. I wasn’t expecting much but was blown away. The detail is incredible. It must have cost a fortune to build

  4. I wish basements were a thing we did here. Not for this specific use case, but in general they’re a fantastic addition of space.

  5. The Mormons in Utah barely let pubs have cocktails or shots, and beer has a maximum alcohol level, so there’s no wonder people make their own pubs!

  6. u/briangovatos made this masterpiece lads.

    It’s not a pub though Brian. A small county pub / unlicensed hole in the wall is called a shebeen here. Pronounced shib-ian (ship with a b instead of p)

  7. He’s a likeable guy. And funny. In the comments in the other r/nextfuckinglevel some one asked him if he built it to get away from the wife, and he said “nice try wife’s alt account”.

  8. Cheers all for the kind words. Never would have assumed I could get away with having this posted in r/Ireland and receive anything other than “Jesus Christ boyo. Get a life.” but your comments are exceptional. In fact I doubt I’ll ever show love to my wife and children again now that I have this post to top me up.

    Slainte and, truly, if anyone is ever in Utah, get your arse over here and have a pint with an over-eager Éire-ophile.

    I should be out in Galway, Doolin, Cork sometime in the next year. Will be pestering some of you for a tailored pub crawl when that happens. Suckers! I mean… cheers.

  9. As an American I feel like I need to elaborate on how important this was for him. The state of Utah is a HUGE Morman enclave Mormans do not drink. Even coffee. Nothing that is considered anything of a “stimulant” is allowed. No cigarettes, no caffeine no nothing enjoyable, basically. But marrying off your daughter at 14 to a dude that’s 50 is A-Okay and having 15 wives with an eff load of kids…. Also fine. And the laws of that state tend to lean the same way. So you won’t find much of anything fun in that state if you’re in to getting together for a pint. BEAUTIFUL scenery. Insane Bible thumping based on some dude that claims to have found extra commandments creating a cult …ahem….I mean “religion” based off of those commandments that kind of disappeared on his travels through the desert.

    I digress.. He’s done this out of necessity and love of pubs and it’s amazing.
