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?

    Sure smart phones killed pubs. They're reading instead of drinking.

    At least they're reading.....sorta...

    When they develop an App that can 3D print me a good stout I might concede that the pubs are dead, but until then all I can say is that smart phones have shut up the retards that used to yell into their cell phones and made my darts league a little more interesting. More idiots walk in front of the dart boards during 501 games now then ever before.
