Entry Description

The concept name is called the CELTIC DOLMEN Irish
Pub, Novosibirsk.The dolmen is the composition of three
large stones holding up a huge rock. It was a place of
mystic ceremony and still exists in Ireland today. The
Celtic pub is a great expression of the detail and wealth
of culture in Irish history. It was a period of great
learning and arts and storey telling involving different
tribes. Banqueting and ceremonies were held in Halls of
grandeur adorned with art. Celebration included music,
beer and traditional wild fowl and game. The concept for
Novosibirsk allows a passage of time from Dublin, one of
the oldest cities in the world, to the past, at TARA the
seat of the HIGH KINGS of Ireland. The Dublin Room
showcases the celebration of dancing paraphernalia and
the influence of Irish Dance that still exists within Irish
culture today and the celebration of the Celt’s love of
festivities. To the right of the entrance area a drink stand
with a Celtic metal horn blower design stands against a
display of Celtic wall art. On entering the pub the bar is

the Celebration of the High King.
