A bachelor with a home in Davidsonville, Maryland, envisioned his mundane basement as an Irish pub-style center for entertaining and watching sports. “I created an immersive experience with timeless appeal,” relates designer Lisa Tullai. Exposed brick, faux-plaster walls and wide-plank, wood-look flooring envelop a space that features a custom bar with a tin ceiling and Guinness on tap; a plush seating area; wine and bourbon storage for tastings; and a room for billiards and darts. Sports memorabilia adorns the walls.

"New finishes and an Old World aesthetic created an inviting sports pub."
Arlene Critzos, jurist
