Ideas on how to make a 'home pub'?

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 Grin. Does anyone have any suggestions on making the house & garden more pub-like?

Framed prints of your house as it was 100 years ago
Artistically placed stacks of old books and random objects

Pour some beer on the floor the day before to leave it to go all sticky.

Sky sports on the telly but with the sound turned down. Meanwhile music playing over the speakers.
A bell for when you call time.

Serve chips in something random like a colander or a shoe. Something with gravy on one of your roof slates. Make a menu full of wanky chef speak

Les haricots cuits au four sûr pain grillé

Or beans on toast to you and me.

You need a random drunk bloke to come over and talk at you about his favourite political matter. Nod politely and then regret it ten minutes later when he's still there and won't go away.

Block your loo and make sure it doesn't flush properly.

And make sure there’s no way of drying your hands.

Compile a quiz?

When you sit in the beer garden, if you don't smoke then you need someone to sit at the next table and start smoking with the wind in your direction. Put an ashtray on your table that you have no idea what to do with.

A couple who are friends with my parents did a lockdown “pub crawl” in their own house.

Each room was a different “pub”, and they had a drink in each one (they started in the garage!), culminating in a trip to the “nightclub“ (disco lights and dance music in the living room). Proper dad dancing from the bloke, with a colander on his head. It was fucking hilarious to see the pictures.

Thanks everyone.

I've got a darts board, dominoes, fairy lights, a bar towel, a bell to ring time, fairy lights, a wood effect tablecloth to turn the glass patio table into a more pub like wooden one, a toilet sign, and an open sign.

Going to play sky news on the tv with the Alexa playing music behind it. If I can, I'll try and get an old photo of the house to go behind the bar.
