I love the Paddy Losty (45 pints) reference in the old man chat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkcXjholnGk

There's also http://imissmybar.com/ which was posted in the comments here a few weeks back.

That's a well made one, pretty cool. And you can get the sound of loneliness in two easy steps: just turn on Bartender working and Night ambience

Love the idea! Where do I make a bug report? I think turning down the old man doesn't work; if you turn off all sliders, you still get the voice telling the story.

I don't think that's a bug. The old man NEVER stops talking!

It's not a bug; it's a feature.

This is a lot of fun! Definitely makes me miss my favorite Irish pub (located in the Midwest).

Nit: I wish the traditional music cycled between a few different songs. What's provided is pretty repetitive, and is already stuck in my head.

I just immediately turned "old man" up to max and all others down to zero.

If the website author is around: On my screen, all I could see was the top of the page, none of the controls. I was confused for an embarrassing amount of time before scrolling. On my end, I have scroll bars always on so I should've figured it out sooner, but that isn't usually true for others.

To recreate it more authentically, additionally dip an old towel into stout and frying oil and hang over a radiator.

Irish musician here, missing regular sessions at Patrick's Pub in Providence, RI. Smithwicks' Ale for the players, random audience members singing Irish songs in Irish and English, we are all missing the community, especially since our outdoor jams ended 5 months ago.
