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.

I’ve been to many Dublin pubs. This is too bright, too clean, and I would bet not smelly enough to be a Dublin pub...

I was on my way to Cleveland to b inducted into the USN when the blew up.. yee old Youngstown tune up, but layfette electronics changed the game with remote control...
That was my first thought as well. Nowadays, everything that’s fun, exciting and unique is shut down.
Yes, it will probably be “cancelled” and he’d better make sure that his registered guns have been lost in an unfortunate boating accident. Because he’ll probably lose those too.
Seriously? Is that the new PC way of asking for it? The bar I used to go to was an Irish Pub and called them that.
Or am I missing the sarcasm? I guess I need a Half & Half, LOL!
An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, “what’ll you have?”
The man says, “Give me three pints of Guinness please.”
So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they’re gone.
He then orders three more.
The bartender says, “Sir, I know you like them cold. You don’t have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I’ll bring you a fresh cold one.”
The man says, “You don’t understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we’d still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we’re drinking together.
The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition.
Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more.
The bartender said to him, “I know what your tradition is, and I’d just like to say that I’m sorry that one of your brothers died.”
The man said, “Oh, me brothers are fine – I just quit drinking.”

They are pretty good at making bombs, is that a hobby for a bobby?
Do a search on “octavia chic” and you’ll see the handiwork of Amy Casey who has built some beautiful backyard pubs during the UK lockdown.
