As the sun shone down over the capital this bank holiday Monday, there were celebrations all across Dublin as Pubs and Restaurants reopened to the public for outdoor dining, for the first time in 2021.
Iconic Dublin pub Grogan’s re-opened after 15 months to a sea of happy punters ready to enjoy a few fresh pints of Heineken brewed especially for the re-opening of Ireland’s pubs following the longest lockdown in Europe.
