The tree consists of approximately 800 empty Jameson Irish Whiskey bottle and a couple thousand lights. The tree is dedicated to Roz, a former employee who passed away a few months ago. "She would decorate the pub each holiday season and had started collecting bottles two years ago in hopes of building this tree," said John Kucko. "Today her co-workers made it happen."
