Didier Agathe, the former Celtic winger, has become a co-owner of The Irish House, a Celtic-themed bar located in Pattaya, Thailand. Agathe acquired a 50 per cent stake in the establishment after expressing interest following a visit to the bar. Eddie Murphy, the bar’s owner, described Agathe’s involvement as a “godsend” for the business.
Eddie Murphy, aged 50, opened The Irish House approximately a year ago and highlighted the popularity of the bar among various renowned personalities, including Tyson Fury and Henrik Larsson. The bar’s appeal to Agathe was reinforced during his visit, where he contacted fellow former Celtic player Lubomir Moravcik to recommend the venue.
The partnership was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held over the weekend, attended by both Murphy and Agathe, as well as another business partner, Mark McKeown. Murphy shared that the bar encompasses community-oriented activities, aligning with the foundations established by Celtic Football Club.
Located in Pattaya, The Irish House serves traditional pub food and Guinness, catering to tourists seeking a taste of home. Murphy, originally from Easterhouse in Glasgow, noted that the bar was inspired by Celtic pubs from his childhood. He mentioned that what began as a hobby has transformed into a full-time commitment, indicating the strong connection he has to Celtic and its culture.
