When you were a kid, the best birthday parties were the ones where you could spend hours jumping inside a bouncy house until you were red in the face and your staticky hair was standing on end. Now, as much fun as it would be to relive your childhood, you'd be amiss to step foot inside one of those air-filled castles. But we'll do you one better: There's now an inflatable bar you can rent and blow all those birthday memories out of the water.
Thanks to a few different companies popping up around the country, you can open an instant Irish pub right in your own backyard. Seriously, it even has all the character details you'd expect to see at one of those dark-wood watering holes—like intricate brickwork and a (faux) fireplace.
The pub in our video was provided by the inflatable.pub company, which offers rentals through partners (Jumpin' Jim's Backyard Inflatables actually helped us shoot our video) in nine states, Dubai, Ireland, UK, France, and Australia. There's also the Paddywagon Inflatable Pub, which is based in Boston, that even provides all the tables and chairs you need, plus a customized food and drink menu, and even entertainment options that range from fiddlers to Irish step dancers.
The max capacity of the pop-up pubs is 40 to 70 people, so you can invite all (or at least most) of your friends over to break out the whiskey.
