Going out for a pint at the weekend is an activity that plenty of Britons enjoy.<\/p>\n
However, the experience is unlikely to be the same again after Colin Flitter unveiled his latest venture.<\/p>\n
Called the Hop On Inn, the bar is actually a renovated 1966 red Routemaster bus and it comes with beer pumps, a lounge and a stage on the top deck<\/a> for bands.<\/p>\n Mr Flitter got the inspiration for the idea after visiting the US and seeing an old English bus sat outside a pub.<\/p>\n He bought the vehicle for £18,500 on eBay and has spent a further £14,000 updating the features, such as replacing the original chairs with more comfortable ones.<\/p>\n "The bus has made quite a big impact and has brought back a lot of memories," Mr Flitter said.<\/p>\n It will certainly be a different experience for drinkers, but unfortunately it does not drop you home after a night out.<\/p>\n Posted by Samantha Thompson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Colin Flitter has turned a 1966 red Routemaster bus into a pub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4863,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
