reports via The Guardian that an Irish pub is using a drone to bring drinks to the community during the shutdown.
McKeever’s Bar and Lounge is using a drone to deliver drinks to locals during the coronavirus pandemic. This is just one way that many of the country’s famous bars and pubs are trying to stay connected with customers during the shutdown. The pub has been in business for 152 years and serves a rural community about 30 miles north of Dublin.
Pubs, a popular part of Irish culture, were one of the first businesses closed in the country by the coronavirus pandemic. The shutdown has left 50,000 workers without jobs, The Guardian reports.
Operated by her niece’s husband, Paul Clarke, the drone delivers “bottles of Heineken usually, or sometimes a few cans of Bulmers,” McKeever told The Guardian. The drone will carry bottles or cans of beer, wine and occasionally even a bag of chips dangling from a string.
