Meet the guy who’ll ship you a full Irish pub in a sea container (or two): The Irish Pub Company (IPC) is in the business of designing and building complete interiors of Irish pubs all over the world. IPC expanded to include “assembling huge shipments of flooring, decorative glass, mirrors, ceiling tiles, light fixtures, furniture, signage, and bric-a-brac, as well as the obvious centerpiece: the bar itself.” Asked in an interview with Eater’s Siobhán Brett about essential components of an Irish pub, IPC founder Mel McNally says: “I think everybody recognizes that good stained glass makes a difference.” People continue to invest in the outsourced construction of the Irish bar because of a “desire for an authenticity, demonstrably, but not the kind that is expressly promoted,” Brett writes. She adds “it would seem that the achieving an overall sense of Ireland generated by the constituent parts is the priority, and is in itself enough…. Those in the business of fashioning and transposing it onto foreign parts are concerned with its accurate replication, facilitating a singular ambiance and atmosphere, both special and real, whatever the designation.”
