Do you miss the pub?

Not every measure is based on science.  The industry is given a framework that they have to work within based on science then they come up with the rules and overarching body that is based on mix of that advice and commercial factors etc.  The less than 2 hours thing is to increase turnover in many ways esp outside. It’s to keep The tables moving.  The pubs are open as restaurants and I think many people are forgetting that.  Vast majority of people who gfo To a restaurant spend more than 9 euro and are there for approx 90 mins to 2 hours.   People are comparing it with pubs but it’s restauants that are opening and pubs posing as restaurants

Do people think sitting at the bar will come back ever again?

Yep, miss the pub for the bit of craic and devilment. I work in a very PC environment and live in an all female household.So it was great to get out  have a few points talk bulllsh*t and be in male company one night a week. It'll be interesting how they manage the pubs that serve food on All Ireland final day, it being on a Saturday this year. In the unlikely event of Mayo winning the thing, I wouldn't like to be the fella to have to tell celebtating Mayo fans to go home..actually same goes for fans of Tipp, Cavan or even Dublin.

yeah Tommy Tiernan was saying the same thing recently that the biggest thing he misses is make company and sl*gging and piss taking and a couple of pints.  Lockdown or no lockdown I will be missing that for a while 😀

Haven't had a drop off alcohol in 135 days now, never been fitter and feel great overall. In regard to the pub, it would be nice to have an option with me, but overall not too fussed.
