Room:
This is our unique contribution to the pub. This is
one of our main dining areas and the stage where all the entertainment is held.
Distillery Theme:
Ireland has 2 national drinks: Stout and Whiskey. We Irish claim to
have been the first to distill whiskey. Back in the 19th century, Irish
whiskey was the most popular whiskey in the world and was significantly
more popular than scotch.
However, prohibition and a trade war
with Britain did irreparable
damage to the Irish Distilling business and the Scottish Distillers
took full advantage.
The Irish word for whiskey is
Uisce Beathe (ish-ki-ba-ha) which means Water
of Life and gave the divine drink its name.
In old Ireland
were "Whiskey Bonders". Who were pubs who received full barrels
of whiskey from a distillery and were bonded to bottle the whiskey.
The bond was an amount of money the establishment would forfeit if
caught watering down the whiskey in order to make a higher profit.
These pubs always had empty barrels lying around. We got our old
barrels from the Jameson Distillery. Also notice the old corkscrews
and barrel laps that work within this theme.
This area gives an insight into the following most renowned Irish whiskies:
-- Paddy
-- Jameson
-- Powers
-- Bushmills
-- Tullamore Dew
