Atlas Obscura:This tiny, one-room social area is located among the same research facilities where scientists first discovered the hole in the ozone layer. The bar was built by carpenters during the station's British stewardship, although they were supposed to use the wood to build a new pier for the complex. Instead they decided the base needed a place to drink.

Brits go to the back end of beyond. Build pub.

The story I was told when I visited is that the brits sent two carpenters to build a pier. After some initial work the carpenters started fighting with each other and one of them left. The other, not being able to build a pier by himself, decided to build a bar instead.
