Ideas on how to make a 'home pub'?

[Koalaing]

I'm isolating with my parents & we're going 'to the pub' on Friday.

We've bought more wood for the chimnea so we've got a beer garden, I'm going to make a 'bar' in the kitchen with different drinks, and use my iPad as a 'jukebox'.

It feels like so long since I've been in a pub I've forgot what else there is . Does anyone have any suggestions on making the house & garden more pub-like?

Sorry, I was meant to post this in chat.

Games machines- laptop maybe?

Depends on the type of pub atmosphere. I'd go for an old fashioned country pub style.
Beer mats
Darts board
Dominoes
Bar towels
Grumpy landlord
Dog asleep on the floor.
Straws
Lemon slices
Crisps
Ice.
Pork scratchings.

Snacks. Snacks are important.

Also, a slumped figure in the corner to be the ‘resident drunk’ (thinking scare crow type thing)

Could you find an old bloke to fall asleep in the corner (2m away obvs).

We drink in the same type of establishment

Buy booze

Drink it

Done!

Scampi fries and pickled eggs

Vandalism on the toilet wall? Haha

Drinks menu on a chalkboard? 2 for 1 deals?

A till.

Piss on your toilet floor and don’t leave any loo roll out

Pretend it’s a Wetherspoons and only use the upstairs loo.

Can one of you crash into the table at about 10:30, knock the drinks flying, apologise profusely then two of you go to the toilet together whilst one of you sobs about a past love that you split up with 8 years ago? Tread some cheese and onion crisps into the carpet. Mix yourself a vile cocktail then leave on the side for 45 min for it to be delivered?

Bonus points if you can have a lass crying in it.

A sticky carpet, preferably with a pattern that makes you dizzy.

Don't forget snacks, scampi fries and pork scratchings!

Dress your DH as a bouncer. He'll be bored but look the part.

We do a pub quiz every week.We all do a set a of questions (about 25 each ),and take it in turns to read your questions out.The ones who are playing puts a bit of money in and winner takes all from that round.

Karaoke.
Giant Jenga and/or Connect 4.
No loo roll.
Bloke talking nonsense next to you at the bar as you try desperately to be seen over the taller people around you. Oh, sorry, that's just me.

Pub quiz!

You need to start preparations early by liberally applying cheap wine and beer to the carpets, put lipstick marks around your glasses and squash chips and ketchup onto the floor and then turn the heating right up and keep all doors and windows closed. Create a vat of vomit by adding chopped carrots to a good chunky vegetable soup, you'll need to splash this up the walls on the way to the loo later in the evening.

Pretend it’s a Wetherspoons and only use the upstairs loo.

Much too close. You need to designate a tree in a wood 3 miles away as the pub toilet to get the proper Wetherspoons experience.

Some excellent suggestions.

I'm ordering a darts board & a table top pool game, as well as some coasters and beer towels. Dominoes and lemon & lime slices as well.

Keep the suggestions coming!

Alexa doing Karaoke?

Couldn't do it here. We have to be sensible adults as we are in charge of young children (sob 😭)
