Taking a leaf out of Nadine Coyle and her Irish Mist, Niall Horan is said to be looking at getting his hands on his own pub in his own back yard.

Apparently Niall wants to invest money earned from his One Direction fame into a bar, and already has designs on the Danny Byrnes pub in his hometown of Mullingar.

A friend of the Horans told the Daily Star: 'He used to play his guitar there before he found fame on 'The X Factor'. Niall is interested in either buying the place outright or investing a lot of money into transforming it into a cool, rock 'n roll pub. He also plans to have a big party there for his 20th birthday next month.' Congratulations Danny Byrnes, you're about to see a horde of Directioners camped outside your premises and hiding in your attic and cellar for the next four weeks.

Niall has been under the legal drinking age of 21 while touring in the US but claimed he was looking forward to a drink after flying nine friends from his hometown to attend V Festival in England over the weekend, saying:  'Don't worry, I'll be getting on it as hard as anyone...', before snapping a quick Instagram photo with Una Healy from The Saturdays and repping the Republic.

Meanwhile his mates were allegedly restricted from bringing girls back to his luxury Winnebago. A female fan said: 'Niall's bodyguards wouldn't let anyone take pictures. His friends asked me and my friends to their after party. We were upset they didn't let us in, but I think his mates were even more disappointed.' Yeah, they couldn't let photos like this get out there.
