The Irish Pub Concept. A Remarkable Investment Opportunity

An authentic design led Irish Pub is a remarkable business opportunity.

Our comprehensive services ensure you are put on right track and avoid making common mistakes, with that said, a business plan is a critical part of developing your new businesses.

As each pub is different, the level of investment will vary. The cost of any pub depends on a number of factors – the size of the pub, the design style, the configuration of major cost elements such as the pub front, bar counter and the back bar.

A fixed price can be given once a design concept proposal has been prepared and agreed.

Each pub the Irish Pub Company creates is bespoke, based on the individual preferences and requirements of each client. Each project is value driven, we work to every client’s budget.

Budgets

There are two ways the Irish Pub Company work in terms of budgets. Our team at the Irish Pub Company are happy to engage with potential operators to discuss pricing options with them.



Defined Budget

If the client has a defined budget we engage with the client and see what we will be able to provide within that budget. We will evaluate the budget and outline the essential elements within the pub so that is expresses a truly authentic atmosphere.



Establish Budget Based on Our Experience

The other way we establish a budget is to discuss the project with the client, review plans and styles, understand the expectations and wishes of the client and we can then estimate the budget. The budget depends on the style chosen and the level of detail that the client wishes.

How Much Does a Pub Cost?

We prioritise transparency in pub building costs. While we can’t give exact figures upfront as each project is different, we’re dedicated to providing realistic estimates during consultations. This ensures informed decision-making and trust throughout your project.

Initial Consultation and Concept Development

When a client commits to creating a concept with us, we create the blueprint for their project; layout plans, mood direction and brand creation. At this stage our expertise allows us to accurately provide a preliminary budget for each project.

Detailed Design

Once the concept is approved, we delve into detailed design. Here we use the budget agreed in the most impactful way possible and ensure that the Irish Pub we are creating is authentic and design-led.

With the design finalised, we proceeded to manufacture and procure all necessary components for the pub. Our team ensures that every element, from furniture to fixtures, meets the highest standards of quality while staying within budget constraints.
