Ed Sheeran reveals his plans to open up “a really shit bar called Drinking Out Loud”

He’s taking on Wetherspoons.

Most of us have dreamt of opening up our own pub, and Ed Sheeran is no different.

The singer was on 98FM on Thursday morning where he told Cooper and Luke of his plans to take on the cheap booze emporium that is Wetherspoons and calling it Drinking Out Loud.

“I was thinking of doing like a Weatherspoon’s type thing, and opening up a really shit bar called Drinking out Loud but like the worst bar that you’ve ever gone to, with a one £1.50 pint and a burger that’s gone off.”

Still, soakage is soakage.

Sheeran also revealed that Tommy Tiernan will appear in the video for Galway Girl that was shot this week in the Tribal County; he had planned to shoot it in Dublin but thought it might be a bit “dangerous”, not expecting things to be equally crazy on the west coast.

“I said to (Tiernan) I shot a video in my home town in Suffolk and literally nothing near what happened in Galway. I do think it’s just an Irish thing. I don’t think there’s any other place in the world like Ireland for me.”
