We’ll admit we’re tempted.
The law that prohibited the sale of alcohol on Good Friday has only just been lifted.
Event organisers have evidently been busy at work; a pub crawl for Friday, 30 March has already been announced.
Taking place in Dublin, the exact locations have yet to be been revealed. Indeed, interested parties will only be told of where they’ll be going on the day before.
What we do know is that proceedings kick-off at 6.30pm and involve “four hours of drinks, pub chats, and a real Dublin experience.”
Organised by Publin, a description on Eventbrite reads: “The law has been changed. For the first time in 90 years pubs are allowed to open and serve alcohol in Ireland on Good Friday.
“To celebrate, we’re going to host Dublin’s first ever Good Friday pub crawl. Through the prism of the pub we’ll explore Irish culture and history. We’ll also give you a history of the Good Friday prohibition and then toast to its removal.”
Publin adds that the soiree isn’t “just about the drinking,” explaining: “We’ll try to show you a side of pubs that you haven’t seen or considered before.
“Before each location we give you a short history of the pub and a few tidbits of stories that should be news even to the most well informed pub goer.”
Tickets are priced at €15 plus booking fee and you can find out more here. At the time of publishing, there were about two dozen tickets still left – but we reckon you’ll need to be quick to secure one.
