There is a "cookie cutter" chain of Irish pubs in the U.S. They're all called "Fado." Supposedly, they are all comprised of the actual interiors of defunct pubs in Ireland. The stuff gets shipped over here, lock stock and barrel, and is installed in an existing building shell that will house it all. There's one in the Chinatown section of DC (of all places). Interestingly, the company that owns Fado pubs intentionally avoids opening one in Boston. According to the manager of the Fado here in DC, it's because everybody automatically expects them too,what with the Irish connection with ol' Bean Town. That reasoning doesn't quite make sense to me. They're a wee bit on the expensive side, but at least they hold true to the Irish theme. You won't hear anything but Irish music there.
