If your shed pub is strictly for personal use with friends and family, and you aren't charging for alcohol, you do not need a liquor license. However, if you plan to sell drinks or host ticketed events, you’ll need to apply for a Personal License and a Premises License from your local council to stay on the right side of the law.
The key is insulation. Adding rockwool or foil insulation behind the wall cladding will help regulate the temperature year-round. For the ultimate "pub feel," install a small electric fireplace or a wall-mounted heater for winter nights, and consider a ceiling fan or a portable AC unit to keep the beer garden vibes breezy during a heatwave.
Yes, you can! Many home bar enthusiasts install "kegerators" or "Lindr" cooling systems. You’ll just need a sturdy counter to hold the weight of the font and enough under-counter space for the kegs and CO2 canisters. Make sure your shed pub has a reliable electricity supply to keep the cooling compressors running.
Spills are inevitable in a pub! Avoid carpet, which can trap odors and stains. Instead, opt for non-slip vinyl (LVT) or treated floorboards that can be easily mopped. Some owners use rubber bar mats around the serving area to catch drips and provide extra grip for "customers" standing at the bar.
To prevent noise complaints during late-night karaoke, use acoustic insulation boards or heavy "soundproof" curtains over windows and doors. Placing your speakers on rubber vibration-damping mats rather than mounting them directly to the timber walls can also significantly reduce the amount of bass that travels to nearby houses.
