AN IRISH expat is the toast of Toronto after transforming his tiny garage into an authentic Dublin pub.
Kieron Daly moved to Canada from Ireland 20 years ago, but he’s never lost touch with his roots.
A proud Irishman who works as a production manager for a sign company, Daly lives in a quaint two-bedroom cottage close to the coast.
However, it’s what he’s got going on in the small garage attached to the property that has got people talking.
For the past two years, Daly has been hard at work converting the space into his very own home away from home.
According to blogTO, it all started when Daly got his hands on an old wooden bar from a pub in the north of Toronto.
Splashing out $125, the Irishman brought home the authentic centre piece and the hard work began.
Since then, friends, family and locals have chipped in with helping Daly source essential items for the bar, including taps and various bits of Guinness paraphernalia.
His efforts have been helped considerably by his brother, who runs an old antique store in Dublin and has been only too happy to send things over the Atlantic to his homesick sibling.

One of my pet peeves is the fake Irish Pubs I see in strip malls everywhere - they take over a space that used to be a Petsmart or Nail Salon, give themselves an Irish name, put up some green clovers, and serve Guinness
Not sure exactly what makes a pub Irish, but that ain’t it!
Irish pubs have a distinct odor.
Amen
Yep. First day in Dublin you drink Guinness. Then for the rest of the trip you drink Murphy’s. 😏
I am not a beer drinker at all but I love Guinness Stout. In fact I’ve got a six pack in my fridge right now, and that one has replenished the last two.
Of course this is over the past 3 months, like I said I’m not a beer drinker, but one occasionally and that’s my pick.
I love this guys garage! He’s got my admiration :)
What’s really cool is his friends are the bar patrons and I’m guessing the beer is free ? ;)
Now if this was a Scotsman’s bar...

If he doesn’t sell anything can they touch him?
I have a long way to go.
Nowadays, you just need the beer, you have everything else you need.
Meh same with Russian stories, most are avout the dumb things they do when drunk on vodka
You can't call it a Black & Tan in an Irish pub since the Black & Tans were known for their police brutality and attacks on civilians.
Now a Half & Half (ahff and ahff) would be served with a smile.
Yes, stale beer down in the cracks and crevices with more added regularly. You may also have a faint lingering of grease from fish and chips but more likely have no odor of food at all.

Too bad she so shy & introverted...
Was a day (many, many decades ago) when I’d have volunteered to straighten her out...
