The Irish Pub in Namche Bazaar, Nepal, is the world's highest Irish pub, located at 3,440 metres high. The pub was opened in 2011 by Dawa Sherpa, who wanted to build a venue 50 meters higher than Paddy's Bar in Cusco, Peru, to claim the title of the world’s highest. The walk from the closest non-commercial airport in Lukla to the pub takes around ten hours and up to two days, allowing time for acclimatisation. The bar's tables and chairs were transported from Kathmandu to Sangboche, the domestic airport above Namche bazaar, and the pool table was divided into parts and carried up by six people, from Lukla. The Guinness is only served in cans and the Alcohol By Volume is 6.8 percent (sold as Guinness Foreign Extra Stout), rather than the standard 4.2 percent brew sold across Europe. The Irish Pub has grown significantly since its opening and plans to extend the space further.
