More than just a man cave

Some may say happiness is taking time out in your very own 'man cave'. Ok so you don't have to be a man nor does it need to be a cave, it could be a haven, a bolt hole or even a games room.

With lockdown after lockdown, many people are easing the tension by creating a man cave in the back garden. Some may crave a 'zen zone' others really want their very own mini pub and with the rise in home brewing equipment sales up by 500% in 2020 it seems the mini pub idea is a popular choice.

The process isn't as costly as some may think for a basic mini bar set up, by sourcing second hand equipment or purchasing new, you can pull your own pint in no time. A pub is often a little more than just a place to have a great beer, pub games have always played an important part in the pub experience. From a game of darts to fifteenth century classics like 'Shove Ha’Penny', but for most the king of pub games is pool, two people is all it takes with many hours or fun whilst sipping a nice cold beer. What could be better?
