Man Who Built Irish Pub on Wheels Gets Day in Boston Parade

— -- For those Irish folks who love celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a good pint but just don’t feel like dealing with the crowds at the pub, look no further.

John Walsh, a cabinet-maker from Galway, Ireland, has created a genius solution: a traditional Irish pub on wheels!

The portable pub, called The Shebeen, is complete with a thatched roof, Irish oak, two taps and space for 10 people, which, needless to say, makes any St. Patrick’s Day celebration that much more festive.

You can impress all the lads and lassies by having this piece of Ireland on wheels show up to your home, because it’s available for purchase and to rent across the United States.

The Shebeen is not only cozy and adorable, but it includes a fully functional mobile bar, an electric stove heater, a music sound system, fold-down windows for outdoor entertaining and comes equipped with an original High Nelly bicycle.

“Creator John Walsh built an early incarnation of The Shebeen for the annual Oyster Festival in his home village, the picturesque Clarinbridge just outside Galway city,” a news release for the invention reads. “The phenomenal reaction of locals and tourists alike to The Shebeen, making it the center of attention in the village, inspired John to build a number of similar units, the youngest of which ‘The Connemara Shebeen’ has now arrived in America.”

The Shebeen is stateside and will roll through Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade Sunday, something Walsh is particularly excited about because he has family living just south of Boston.
