One Iowa man has been going viral for his exceptional bar. He doesn't have to travel that far if he's in the mood for a nightcap; he just has to go through one single door. Joe Hayhoe operates under the username @TheBlindPigBasement pub on Instagram and Tik Tok.

 His new internet fame is all due to one room in his own home. The bourbon lover has a speakeasy-type bar located in a secret room inside of his house. His houseguests are transported to a classic speakeasy with the push of a secret door right by a shelf.
This bar located in Hayhoe's very own Urbandale home is filled to the brim with whiskey. Featured in Whiskey Advocate, the basement bar owner started this all as a project during the pandemic.
The pub was completed in mid-February of this year and quickly became popular on the internet due to the craftsmanship of the bar. Along with the actual bar, Hayhoe added some interesting touches to elevate the space. It is decked out with several unique pieces including a record player, barrel tables, and even some vintage liquor licenses.

Who wouldn't want to have their own home bar like this with their personal favorite type of libation?

Take a look at this inside of this one-of-a-kind space and check out all of the work and craftsmanship that went into it.
