A cocktail bar owner has installed a Faraday cage in his walls to prevent mobile phone signals entering the building.

Steve Tyler of the Gin Tub, in Hove, East Sussex, is hoping customers will be encouraged to talk to each other rather than looking at their screens.

He has installed metal mesh in the walls and ceiling of the bar which absorbs and redistributes the electromagnetic signals from phones and wireless devices to prevents them entering the interior of the building.

Why you hating on millennials, Bro?

    I like bars for the atmosphere, not the socializing. I don't like to be drunk and high and bored at the crib when I can be drunk and high in a fun atmosphere full of people who look like they're enjoying themselves, especially when I can't hear the inane conversation and can zone out and read on my phone. But then again, I'm pretty anti-social and don't like talking to people and prefer the simplicity of masturbation to sex, so I'm probably not anywhere near typical.

    You sound spot-on for the Soylent demographic.

      No, if he was spot-on for the Soylent demographic, he would stay home instead of going to bars.

    A Farage cage can bring a fun atmosphere to a pub.
