Dublin pub makes hilarious new menu as they prepare to open doors

A Dublin pub have made a hilarious new menu as they prepare to open on June 29.

All pubs in Ireland will be allowed open at the end of the month in phase three provided they act like restaurants and serve food.

The hugely popular Grogan's pub in the city centre teased a new menu online as they get ready to reopen their doors.

The joke menu included a Niore Manhattan Steak Au Fromage as well as Malted and Hopped Ganache.

The pub tweeted: "In preparation for pubs who serve food being allowed to open on 29th June, we've put a little something together. See you all on the 29th."

In case anyone was confused, they added: "Just to clarify, this is purely a joke. We could never desert our beautiful toasted specials."

Pubs will have to make an effort to serve food upon reopening however after Dr Tony Holohan stressed a packet of peanuts and pints won't suffice.

The Chief Medical Officer said: "I think the intention is that if a pub is going to operate as a restaurant, then in terms of this particular disease and if they are in full compliance with the public health advice in the way that a restaurant would need to be, then there wouldn't be a reason why that activity couldn't happen.

"That's not the same as us saying that a few fellas getting together for a few pints and having a packet of peanuts constitutes a meal and constitutes a restaurant.

"I think people will be sensible about it and they have to be sensible."
