As you know, publicans are using all sorts of incentives to get people back into pubs in recent years, but the one I’m about to tell you about is the most intriguing that I’ve come across.

The Shebeen is the brain child of John Walsh - it’s a small old-style Irish bar... but this one is on wheels and it comes to you.

This 30 year-old caravan has been gutted and transformed into an Irish snug on wheels with a full bar, it's own stove, and space for 10 people.

John says that he's "not too sure" where the idea originally came from, he started scheming after Electric Picnic ran a competition asking people to submit creative alternative ways to use old caravans.

He confidently sent in his proposal and was "pretty sure" that it would be picked but got a reply some weeks later saying that his design had not been selected.

At this stage John was actually halfway through building the project, so he decided to "just continue with it."

Soon people were asking if they could buy or rent the caravan - that was when he realised that he was onto a good business idea.

"When it arrives on site everyone is in awe of it - to have your own Irish pub or Sheeben in your own back garden, and to have it all setup in 10 or 15 minutes, it's a big thrill," John says.

"If you're not charging for alcohol you actually don't need a licence" - people who rent to bar stock it themselves and distribute their own alcohol.

The company is getting ready to expand into the US market with a new pub hopefully hitting American highways in the coming weeks.
