A fleet of festive pubs on wheels bring a taste of Ireland to New England

Two Massachusetts brothers have built a fleet of tiny Irish pubs on wheels. They tow the miniature bars to backyards, weddings and neighborhood parties across New England. The business began during the pandemic when brothers from Reading started building an authentic-looking pub in a driveway. Now the Wee Irish Pubs travel from March through December, serving as the centerpiece of St. Patrick’s celebrations, bachelor parties and family gatherings. Inside, church pews, antique decorations and a bar made from an 1864 piano recreate the feel of a traditional Irish pub. For many hosts, the tiny bars offer a place for neighbors, friends and family to gather and celebrate together.
