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.

Where are the Murphy’s Stout posters?
Won’t be long before the people of ireland are homesick
I’m totally stealing that!...lol
That’s very charming.
I wonder when Canuck authorities will shut him down.
Because Canada.
my garage never looked so good.
Indeed.
Guinness Stout. Probably my favorite brew. But not Guinness Draft, a nitro charged. Too flat.
When I was in Dublin a couple of years ago, I did not see Murphy’s - it was all Guinness (I guess since the factory is there). Western Ireland (especially Southwest) had plenty of it though.
That is really awesome. I loves me a well-made Black & Tan!
Too bad he can’t open it. There has to be some kind of law against it in Candida...there is against everything else.
That barrel must be the sick bucket!🤮☘
Wow! That’s nice! It looks like the roof is leaky, though. Save your investment!
I see this as just another ugly stereotype story about the Irish and alcohol.
Does every story about the Irish have to have some reference to drinking?
Can’t we have some nice stories from Ireland about their sports or their hobbies or their entertainment?
..................................................
Yeah...it is all about drinking.
That was my first thought, as well. Now with this out in the news, odds are his pub is in its last hours before being demolished, and he’ll have some huge fines to pay, if not jail time.
It must be difficult for an Irishman, living amidst all those arrogant holier-than-thou Canadians.
He couldn’t remember what the inside of his house looked like.
Nice!
My dad had some friends who built a British-style pub on their property in Virginia that looked a little like that. Whenever I was up there visiting my dad, we’d usually stop over for a pint or two. 🍻
