Publican Albert Martin decided to reopen his doors to The Willows pub in north Dublin to reconnect with his customers in an innovative way that complies with the lockdown laws.<\/p>\n
After receiving assurances from the garda\u00ed over the delivery of sealed drinks, Mr Martin and his team have been visiting the homes of his punters in Dublin.<\/p>\n
The family-run pub had plans to celebrate 55 years in business this July, however the coronavirus measures has forced the family to postpone the event.<\/p>\n
Mr Martin is now calling to the homes of his customers, new and old, with freshly poured drinks including pints, wine and cocktails.<\/p>\n
Mr Martin said: \u201cWe only just started it on Friday but already people have been calling up and ordering different drinks.\u201d<\/p>\n
The proprietor has enforced a 20-euro minimum spend and delivers within a one kilometer-radius to ensure the pints are kept fresh.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have been really enjoying it \u2013 a lot of the customers who ordered on Friday were back again today,\u201d Mr Martin added.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the locals are very happy about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the drinks menu includes pints, bottled beer, alcopops, wine and number of spirits.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most popular has been Guinness draft. They love the Guinness and it looks very good when its poured.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the customers ring us up and make the order and pay over the phone. So far it\u2019s mainly been our regulars but we\u2019ve had a few new people calling us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll have to wait until August before we can have people back in the pub again. I think people are getting a bit tired of sitting at home so they are happy to see freshly poured pints delivered to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
