One of Cork city centre's best known pubs will reopen on Friday after a €500,000 makeover following a link-up with drinks giant and Guinness owner Diageo.

Clancy's on Princes Street in Cork which is owned by Paul Montgomery is closing this week ahead of its revamp which will see a new Guinness-themed bar as part of its offering, which will include a restaurant, cocktail 'lab', and rooftop party bar.
