Stout And About..

Mirror girl has a Guinness in new-look post-Covid Irish pub

Pubs resume serving from Monday and a cheeky pint ahead of the rush was just what the doctor ordered.

Entering Gibney’s in Malahide, Co Dublin, the screens and sanitisers were unmissable.

Nooks and crannies were as they were but two-metre partitioning tells us the new reality of hospitality.

Where you’d usually have banter with bar staff, all orders will be conducted at your assigned table.

You will stick to your spot and chatting with random strangers won’t be encouraged.
