Celebrate next St. Patty’s day from the comfort of your own authentic Irish pub. The Ól Irish Pub Company, based in Dublin, Ireland specializes in building custom Irish pubs across the world. Each one-of-a-kind pub includes unique bric-a-brac (Irish antiques and decorative trinkets), custom murals, detailed carvings, intricate metalwork, and more.

Ól Irish pubs come in six popular styles: whiskey-themed, Country Pub, brewery style, shop style, Victorian style, and high end Victorian style. Depending on your needs, the company can take care of everything from design to installation, and they’ll even create a unique exterior for your pub.

Since each pub is custom built in a different location, prices vary. However, the Ól Irish Pub Company uses local materials when possible and only imports products they can’t source locally, keeping costs down. According to the company, their prices are at least equal if not cheaper than any of their competitors’.

Customize Your Own Beer Tube

A beer tube is a tabletop device that uses gravity to dispense beer or other liquids faster than they would come out of a keg. The concept is simple but still novelty enough to make drinking beer an even more fun experience. We became a fan back in college while traveling around Europe, and we’re surprised that the contraption hasn’t caught on stateside in any major way. So, to accelerate the U.S. adoption of this great drinking gadget, we’ve gone out and found some of the most baller beer tubes you can get your hands on.

Our favorite beer tubes are those you can customize. And FriendlyDrink.com is one of the best places to find them. The company can fully personalize your tubes with custom printing, custom stickers, and custom bases (like the tubes we’ve pictured above). Prices depend on complexity and quantity ordered.

If you’d rather buy a more standardized design, we’d recommend you check out BeerTubes.com. This company specializes in sports-themed beer tubes but also has a few more traditional designs available. In general, these tubes run about $100 a piece.

Whether you’re looking to outfit your entire bar or just your kitchen table, you can’t go wrong with a beer tube.

Whether you’re looking for rodeo practice or just want to toss your friends around in your home bar, Rockin’ B Bucking Machines make an awesome choice. The company makes two models: a headless bull for rodeo training, and an intact bull better-suited for bar or nightclub use. Both come with a unique spring loaded body roll for a realistic feel, and the intact bull sports rubber horns.

Musicians like Madonna and Brooks and Dunn have used them for their world tours, as have other celebrities. But Rockin’ B is especially proud that it’s bucking machines remain an important training tool for professional rodeo cowboys, like seven-time PRCA World Champion Ty Murray.

For a complete bar bull with safety padding, you’ll spend $21,950. The no-frills training machines run $16,900, with padding sold seperately.
