The Irish Shebeen: the first Irish pub in the metaverse
St. Patrick's Day only happens once a year, so why not create a traditional Irish pub in the metaverse to celebrate it? It was probably for this reason that The Sandbox launched The Irish Shebeen.
The Irish Shebeen is an Irish pub located in the -74, -89 lands of The Sandbox metaverse. It is not only for lovers of Irish culture, but also for users who want to learn more about local traditions.

Web3 journalists Gillian Godsil and Lisa Gibbons collaborated with Hermit Crab Game Studio and Kinahan's Whiskey to bring this themed pub to life within the virtual domain. More than just a venue for raucous St. Patrick's Day celebrations, the Irish pub in the metaverse has a far nobler mission. As envisioned by the developers, it will serve as a unique haven for wanderers in the virtual realm. The pub, which has a distinctly Irish vibe, welcomes all visitors, regardless of their gaming experience, and provides a comfortable atmosphere.
As a homelessness activist here in Ireland - and a woman whose home was repossessed by banks - the idea of being homeless on the internet was a shocking one. We canβt give everyone a home but we can give them a place to go and feel welcome and at easesays Gillian Godsil.
NFT, quests and exclusive whiskey for free
The Irish Shebeen offers various forms of entertainment for its users. This themed space, which operates for only 12 days, allows visitors to collect NFTs, explore digital artwork by artists, and participate in a range of quests.
The Shebeen NFT collection gives an idea of Irish culture and mythology. It features traditional Irish costumes and armor, as well as objects and statues of gods, animals, birds and even fairies. Classic St. Patrick's Day symbols such as shamrocks and paddy hats are also on display.
A description of the chosen symbol or item and its role in Irish history, which influences its value, is included with each NFT. For example, a Celtic spear costs only $3.65, while a triquetra or tree of life requires an investment of over $200.
