Pantibar is opening tonight and people can’t understand why

“Open today from 6pm’.

The country is in lockdown tonight with a red weather warning in situ and public transport cancelled across the board.

Many businesses have decided to shut down while the blizzard conditions take hold but there are others that have decided to keep their doors regardless.

Pantibar is one, they opened last night and are doing the same tonight despite the fact that the weather is expected to be much worse.

The Dublin bar, located on Capel Street, is open from 6 pm and people have taken to Twitter to label the decision “irresponsible” and ridiculous”.

However, Pantibar has said that many of its staff live on the same street and customers are “fully grown adults capable of making decisions, plenty of whom are local regulars who can walk home”.

Some pubs and bars will close, others might stay open but we’re taking the advice issued today and staying put at home.
