Luke Mee, a pub owner in Kilkerrin, Ireland, shares the story of how his family rescued and transformed the set of the film 'Banshees' into a bar in their own backyard.
Wanting rid of the “eyesore,” she told him he could take it for free, so he loaded them into trucks and drove the 180 km to in the small town of Kilkerrin, to his pub, Mee’s Bar, where over the course of several months’ worth of nights and weekends, he put it back together with help from friends .
Unlike the original, Mee’s version of Devine’s has electricity and fully functioning beer pumps, which didn’t come into use until around 40 years after1923 setting. Thankfully, Guinness owner Diageo provided the oldest taps they could find. The whole project was kept strictly secret — even Mee’s sister, who manages the main pub, “didn’t know what we were doing” — until it was unveiled in early June. “I honestly didn’t think it would have [drawn] much interest, but nevertheless it did.
With the pub up and running, the hope is to now attract the cast to give it their endorsement. Gleeson has reportedly expressed an interest as has Pat Shortt, who plays the namesake landlord, JJ Devine. But the publican has his eyes on a much bigger star.
