Not many people seem to be missing the pubs. Iâd say a few generations didnât realise how cheap it is to drink at home and with the weather itâs preferable to drinking in a pub.
Pubs are really only for people with young kids or who hate their families to escape from them

All pubs that serve food will open at the same time as restaurants, and then all the rest of the publicans will go mental and theyâll be allowed open as well

Iâd say most pubs are for auld lads looking for someone to talk to
They fall under the hate their families/wives category
Iâd absolutely murder 6-8 pints of hating my wife right now.

Where did I have my first drink? The pub, a pint of smithwicks with a dash of TK red lemonade ⌠I hated it, I hated the taste and the smell but there was no other feeling like having a pint in the pub when becoming the legal age and graduating from a coke and a packet of tayto to the feeling of superiority over your younger siblings.

First pint was in the Ostman in Waterford. 15 years of age, Harp, playing a game of pool. The Ostman was about 5 doors up from BBC Downesâs which in turn was about 5 doors up from the Blue Haven. All of those pubs were friendly spots for the underage drinker. The Ostman and the Blue Haven are gone donkeys years at this stage.

Whatâs your feeling about when the pubs reopen @Lazarus? You seem to have some skin in the game. Itâll definitely have to be brought forward to the date on which pubs with food license reopen, fair is fair, so thatâs third week of June? The other thing is will this be feasible when pubs are only allowing maybe 30% of their normal occupancy?
Benches in car parks, or on footpaths and roads will be the temporary solution I think
A bottle of Bulmers in Jackâs Inn aged 17 during the Wild Rose Festival,I sent one of the older lads to the bar for a couple of us younger looking lads and we sat in the pool room drinking them thinking we were the dogs bollix
