Mobile Pub Consulting,
Build Plans & Custom Units
Build your own mobile pub with expert guidance, proven build plans, or a fully custom design. Based on real-world experience building and operating a mobile pub business.
We Didn't Just Design It.
We Built It. We Operate It.
The Irish Drifter wasn't built from a template or assembled from a kit. It was designed from scratch in a driveway in Powell, Ohio — by a family that had a vision and figured it out piece by piece.
Now we're sharing everything we learned: the layouts that work, the systems we'd do differently, and the shortcuts that saved us months. Whether you're just exploring the idea or ready to start cutting lumber, we have a way to help.

SOMETHING BIGGER
We Build Complete Custom Units
Beyond consulting and plans, we occasionally take on custom unit builds — working directly with clients to design and construct a complete mobile pub from the ground up, built the same way we built The Irish Drifter.
This isn't an off-the-shelf product. Every custom unit is a unique project, and we're selective about the builds we take on. If you have a vision and want to explore what a fully built unit might look like, the best first step is a conversation
Fully Handcrafted
Built the same way we built The Irish Drifter, by hand, with attention to detail.
Your Vision, Your Design
Theme, layout, size and finish are all tailored to your concept.

Pricing and scope are always discussed directly, no guesswork.
GOT QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked
-
The Basic and Full plans are based on our actual build of The Irish Drifter and are not customized. They represent a proven layout and set of systems that work, but they are designed for a specific footprint and configuration. If you need something tailored to your dimensions, trailer type, or concept, the Custom package is the right fit.
-
The Basic plan covers the structural framing — walls, roof, floor plan, and key dimensions. The Full plan adds everything you need to actually build out the interior systems: electrical layout, mechanical systems, and the full draft beer system layout. For most serious builders, Full is the better investment because the structural work is only one part of the build.
-
Yes — both the Basic and Full plans include one consulting call. The Custom package includes three consulting calls as part of the design process. You can also purchase additional consulting calls separately at any time if you need more support.
-
Absolutely. Consulting calls are available as a standalone purchase. Many people start with a single call to explore whether a mobile pub build is the right move before committing to plans. There's no requirement to buy plans to access our consulting.
-
The Custom package includes a full design consultation to understand your concept, theme, budget, and goals — followed by fully custom plans built specifically for your build. This includes a tailored floor plan, electrical layout, mechanical layout, draft system layout, and three consulting calls throughout the design process. Pricing starts at $3,000 and is finalized after the initial consultation.
-
All plans are delivered digitally as PDF files. You'll receive download links after your purchase is confirmed. If you have questions about anything in the plans after delivery, that's exactly what your included consulting call is for.
