Bars in the UK need a substantial meal.
NYC drinks only with indoor dining.
Bars in France are closed
Czech Republic had to close their bars because they were overrun.

So should we have left pubs completely open or completely closed?

We should have left them open with distancing.

No idea. There was talk of legislation, no idea if it ever came in.

No new legislation but Health Act was amended so afaik this legislation covers it though i stand to be corrected

Another publicity stunt.

I forgot Oscar's were part of that group of pubs....... They all have identical press releases....

If they're just guidelines why isn't every pub ignoring them.......

I suspect that a lot of them have already decided to throw in the towel and are just waiting for insolvency proceedings to kick off.

I might get away with streaking at the Hurling Final on Sunday. But if I tell everyone I am going to do it....

Before anyone gives out I plan on wearing a mask. I wouldn't dare bring the safety of the players into contention. They don't deserve that in fairness.

But where?

First time out tonight since the summer and have to say it wasn’t as enjoyable as back then. Atmosphere felt rather tense and they are definitely more strict about last orders by 10:45pm now as opposed to 11:30pm in the summer. I guess they were all told to be more strict with the rules this time.

That's the way it is/and is going to be for some months ahead it seems, I;m in rural Co Limerick but have a relative who owns a pub in Limerick city - non food, he can't see it opening until at least next April at the earliest. I wouldn't even contemplate going out as thing stand, we've both been working from home since March we go out once every two weeks to the local town for our shopping and that's it, it's way too early in this game for people to be going out for meals/going to shopping centres/meeting up with friends etc

The pub next to me was packed with young people again last night. People sitting on each other's laps, crowded tables and loads of moving around. If you wanted to give Covid-19 a chance to spread, this would be it.

Doesn't sound well run at all, could do with a visit. What part of the country is this?

Most of the people here would say a visit would be the action of a police state.

Sublime post. I mean the is one of the nicest wind ups I have read in a while. I couldn't do a better job myself.

Tell me, you must have gone in for a glass yourself if you managed to spot drinkers knee hopping in the corner? Crafty Devils.

Turn off your Laptop and get out for a while.

It is true. Do you want me to take pictures this evening and post them here? I might need to twitch my curtains to do so.

Please do. I'll check back here later.

Anyway, the chain of pubs trying to flout the €9 meal have all mysteriously removed their posts, I wonder if the local super had a word.......

Clearly there's no guarantee the pub will be as busy, but I get can show you the pub is busy I'll DM you an image. In exchange, I might ask you to confirm to those in the thread that there's a busy pub operating beyond what can be considered fair within the guidelines. I'd prefer to DM you the photo as I'm not interested in publicly ratting out a particular business.

The pub in question has floor to ceiling windows and is metres from my home. I can easily see in to it.

I just walked past it to on my way for messages there. A good few people in their now, enjoying lunch and a drink. It's all very civilised at the moment and it's not too packed at all. People look like they're having a nice, relaxing time. Good on them.

Make sure to get in nice and close to get some pictures so we might get a few pictures back of you picking your teeth up off the floor

I believe, I think most know it goes on in some places. Always a few that won't take heed.

They're only giving four quid of it to charity, cheap cnuts....

For all those who've called me out as a liar and those who thanked those posts, if the pub is as busy as I've said, will you state here if:

A. That's not a good thing
B. So what, it's grand

I don't want a whole lot of people saying I was a liar then saying what I claimed doesn't matter if I can show it to be true.
