Pic: This pub sign in Donegal shows the importance of reading the small print

Worth a second glance

JOE

A cheeky pull…

This Donegal Hotel is luring in the punters with a promotional sign outside the front of the pub.

Nothing wrong with that, but all is not what it seems.

A first glance at the sign in front of McGrory’s Hotel leads you to believe something far different to what it actually says.

One look at this sign and you think you’ve struck a home run and there is free beer available in the bar for you to enjoy at your leisure.

Unfortunately, before rushing for the bar and ordering 12 pints, a closer look will show you what the sign actually says.

There is still beer and something is free, but it’s not the beer.

The sign reads: Free Wifi, Beer on tap.

D’oh.

Hardly the same thing. Still, it made us chuckle.
