Our adventure of creating a tiny pub in our back yard- right in the woods!
We understand this is a big trend in the UK, but so far as we know, this is the first one in the US! First of many, I'd guess!

So today, March 15, I put on my boots and went through the remaining snow down to the Pub in the woods- Duke's Tiny Pub and Golf Club! I replaced the Milwaukee Tool contractor's boom box sound system with the small, cigar box amplifier you see in the foreground on the bar...
Great sound, and runs on 4 aa batteries- and I can also play my electric guitars through it!!
Good for me, but bad for all the solitude and silence folks that might want a little quiet...
Not really, I'll only play if begged, and when I'm the only one there. Really enjoying jamming along with drum tracks on my iPhone lately!
The propane Mr. Heater started right up, and the temps are now up to almost 60 degrees F in the pub; 30 outside. Left the heater on, and will go back down later when it is really warm, and maybe bring my guitar.
Soon we will have the grand opening- I will announce the date here, so stay tuned!
Ok, this tells you the ongoing saga of Duke's Tiny Irish Pub and Golf Club!!
Today, we put up the Backbar (note the shine brass behind me), and assorted other tasks, like hanging the mirror. This tiny pub is really starting to take shape!!
We have a Mr. Heater propane heater installed, with a 20 pound cylinder outside, with a hose running into the heater... works GREAT!!
37 degrees today, and a steady 70 inside the pub as we worked! I think we'll take the electric heater out to use in the house this chilly Wisconsin Winter, and rely on the hotter propane throughout the Winter months... the electric heater, with a thermostat!, was great in the Fall...
But in Winter- we just need real crankin' heat!
No subtle layers of heating need apply...
We put up a bunch of Arnold Palmer golf pictures on the "golf wall", and some other Duke items, but there is an endless amount that we want to add to this tiny pub! Stay tuned: there will be numerous and endless updates about this new obsession of a Tiny Pub- We've got the heat thing all figured out; although we'll update when it's 20 below 0- but now, we are thinking of getting a:
1 Golf cart to transport folks that can't (of won't!) walk to the Pub!
2 To transport females to the bathroom up in the house rather than build an outhouse!!
Some of these golf carts are really cool- I mean, they look like 65 Mustangs (we have a real one!), and work like 4 wheel drive vehicles, except electric and silent. Very appealing for running around our very rural neighborhood indeed!!
And so, there you go- another update on the Tiny Pub!
Go ahead and join us in this strange obsession, if you will! It really is a fun, wholesome, and good thing to concentrate on, that is if you are like us!
