Brown Thomas has been given a pub licence at their Grafton St store

Big changes are in motion over at Brown Thomas as the Dublin retailer has gotten permission for a full pub licence in its Grafton Street store.

Shopping will never be the same again as reluctant shoppers will now be able to disappear off to the bar, leaving friends, family, partners and lovers alone with their one true love: their credit card.

The third floor of the building is going to be renovated to make the most of the new licence.
