Will the Rovers ever Return? Your pub megathread, Part 2 - threadbans in OP

We're going to 24 hour drinking?

No one needed to do that, they chose to.

Was in the local last Sat night. Not much change apart from leaving the door on the latch after 8 instead of locking it. Few faces not been seen in a long while, were out acting like they had just been released from Joe Fritzls bunker.

They got a bit of a land when they found out that apart from April and May 2020 and Jan 2021 the pub was serving pints every night.

I was out in mine last Saturday, I was telling everyone in work etc. from late summer on that we were back to 2019 in the pub, he closed on time but we mingled and they served at the bar. What I realised Saturday was we weren't - completely different feel to the place, no yellow signs, no plastic sheeting on the bar, people bet in beside one another, in great spirits, it was such a good night.

Dublin was manic last night with the longest queues everywhere….never seen anything like it before! I queued myself for almost 90 minutes to get into the George but was totally worth it. The atmosphere was just so celebratory and it was amazing to have spontaneous chats with strangers again. Saying that, I’m looking forward to the “novelty” wearing off in a few weeks with normal crowds resuming again.

Seems the case alright but not in all pubs some are either packed again or a few are dead quiet still for some reason.

Close this thread. After last night, it's safe to say the rovers has well and truly returned! Pubs were rocking like old times.
