    The Globe are doing pints, cans and cocktails to take away. They definitely had Guinness and Heineken, not sure what else on tap.

    All over the place in town; it’s actually mad the number of people clogging up pavements drinking outside, rolling barrels and the like into roads for makeshift seats.

    I was in town yesterday, Mary's and The Globe both selling takeaway pints. No Guinness left in Mary's but The Globe had Guinness, there were gangs of people standing around South William Street and outside Grogans.

    A good crowd of people drinking on Dame Court in the evening then around 8 o'clock the Guards came along and started moving people on.

    Grogans are making pains to point out that they're closed and anyone drinking outside there got the pints elsewhere.

    While I haven't indulged in a pint or buying one from a pub, as I don't really see the point of buying one to drink at home. I might however if I was out on a walk and fancied a pint. However, it is this type of behaviour that ruins it for everyone. Get your pints and fúck off to a place where your not bothering anyone. Other publicans should be telling the pub to do the same.

    Not sure if it was the exchequer. They were being served out of a doorway on that side of dame court but possibly too far down to be a side door of the exchequer.

    Its a grasp at a return to somewhat of a normality and to catch up with friends. I dont see how that is "tragic".

    Yes there appears to be a good few places selling pints, and also a mixture of others drinking cans. No harm, as someone said above people are trying to get back to a sense of normality and catch up with friends.

    But is anywhere allowing people in to use toilets? I saw two girls going to the toilet in Dame Lane (from a distance) and thought they were drug users or homeless, only to bump into them soon after and see they were far from the drug users homeless people I envisaged.

    To be fair... town was like a ghost town and most people were in groups of 2 sitting at least metres apart from other people doing no harm. I get where you are coming from though to an extent.

    beers in lines from keg are bad if they are not used everyday

    Takeway rubbish covering the canalbanks please take home your empty glass bottles of beer, wine, vodka, plenty of cans, pizzaboxes, surgicalmasks, takeaway wrappers. There were some mucky pups out last night leaving an eyesore behind them...

    quite a good few people drinking take away pints in town today despite it raining. think with the gradually lowering of numbers it's only a matter of time before we get a dry evening with enough people for an angerbait viral video on social media. dont know why take away pints are allowed even tho i'm tempted to go for one or two myself.

    I'm not sure about the whole takeaway pints either. Nearly seems like it's done with a nod and a wink.

    I'm gonna meet a mate during the week and take a stroll around the city with a naggin/hipflask of whiskey each.

    The first few pubs that offered it back in the summer had explicit warnings about not drinking within 100m of the pub, dont drink on the street etc...seems to have been quietly dropped. Dont think the guards are intetested in enforcing it either, as long as people dont take the piss.

    People are much less likely to congregate when its 4 degrees than when its 16 at 11pm.

    I enjoy pints at home or away, indoors/outdoors, pubs,cafe, airports.... IMO underlockdown 5 the places that serve takeaway pints should allow the consumers to use the toilet facilities. Likewise takeaway restaurants, coffee shops should allow the toilet facilities to be used with purchases. Its annoying the lack of public facilites in dublin during lockdown leverl 5 the only ones I know are Wolftone, Stephensgreen, Connollystation and mother nature....

    Anywhere city centre still doing takeaway pints (or even mulled wine). Looking to meet someone for an hour tomorrow and don’t want to look for a booking/meal

    Stephen’s green area ideally

    yeah most of the places doing take away pints were substantial meal ( & proper kitchen) pubs who have ceased doing them to open 'normally' as such.

    only place that comes to mind still doing take away pints is the palace bar on fleet street/temple bar
