A popular Dublin bar is launching a new 'pub shop' as they prepare to reopen their doors in Phase 4 of the lockdown road map plans.
57 The Headline pub on Clanbrassil Street Lower announced the news on their social media accounts in preparation for coming back into action in what is now expected to be at earliest sometime in mid-July.
They told followers: "So we've decided to open a pub shop, what's that you say?.
"Well it's our new look. A one way system that allows you to shop for great beer, wine and old fashioned chats.
They added: "A few tweaks needed but we'll get there, pop by soon."
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.
But, bars 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."
