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

Started during COVID-19, the Tiny Pubs business rents authentic Irish pubs on wheels for events, serving up to 125 guests and booked most weekends across New England.

  • Brothers Matt and Craig Taylor operate Tiny Pubs, mobile Irish bars booked most weekends across New England for holidays, weddings, and backyard parties, turning a pandemic project into a thriving small business.
  • Conceived during the COVID-19 lockdown, the Taylor brothers missed their favorite taverns and built the first prototype in Matt Taylor's Reading, Massachusetts driveway, 12 miles north of Boston.
  • To ensure authenticity, the brothers outfitted bars with salvaged church pews and a bar crafted from the front panel of an 1864 piano, rejecting what they called 'themed party props.'
  • Mark Cote hosted a party in his Andover driveway last Friday, where around 20 people from five families celebrated in the compact space, creating what he described as a real neighborhood bar.
  • Beyond private events, the mobile pubs have been featured in South Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade, with Matt Taylor noting they prioritize flexible service, often leaving units overnight so guests are not rushed.
