Start your Christmas lists! Item #1: Guinness Pub

Neiman Marcus


There are plenty of reasons to raise a pint to the Irish. Saint Patrick, the Blarney Stone. One of the greatest occurred in 1759 when young Arthur Guinness founded a brewery at St. James's Gate, crafted a hearty, distinctive stout, and won a place in our hearts forever. Celebrate the 250th anniversary of that first delicious keg with our exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime gift. The folks at RiRa Pubs will design a fully functional, traditional Irish pub and build it in your home in 2009. It will be crafted from historic Irish architectural elements and authentic Guinness artifacts. There's also a VIP trip for two to Dublin with first class airfare, luxury accommodations, and insider access to the magic still being made at the historic working St. James's Gate brewery. (All members of your party must be at least 21 years of age.) Plus fresh Guinness Stout for your pub. For an entire year.

A toast! To calling 1.877.9NM.GIFT for more information, detailed terms and conditions, and to order! Sláinte!

That's where they lost me. Not the quarter million dollar price tag, but the "site preparation costs not included". For that price, I ain't paying anything extra.

Oh well. I guess that means there will be more authentic Guinness artifacts to go into YOUR home and not ours.

Flash,
Start making room in the back yard. Christmas is just around the corner. Site costs can't BE THAT MUCH,unless ya figure in the amount of beer it will take for the workers to "down the hatch" durning their breaks. That might be a wee bit expensive.
