If you’ve ever dreamed of having a pint in Coronation Street‘s Rovers Return Inn, then today is your lucky day.
For one day only, the Bath Pub in Sandymount will transform into one of TV’s most recognisable pubs in order to celebrate Ireland’s most watched soap.

The front face of the pub will be draped with the iconic image of the tavern, meaning customers and passers-by will get a feel for what it’s really like to tread the Weatherfield cobbles.
Cast members Shayne Ward, Richard Hawley and Faye Brooks will visit the pub later today, fresh from Wednesday night’s live episode, which went down a storm on Twitter.
Meanwhile, passers-by who noticed their local had a makeover, took to Twitter to express their excitement.
