Bar closed after 'boozy brunch' flouted Covid regulations to reopen

Court had heard the bar’s operating licenses were refused following the Covid boozy brunch where staff had been shown online flouting health guidelines and where a masked staff member danced on the bar as he poured shots into the mouths of dancing customers.

The Berlin Bar, a Dublin pub that was shut down by a judge two years ago after a “boozy brunch” that breached Covid 19 regulations and went viral online, will reopen to the public on Friday.

This was confirmed on Thursday by its new manager David Grier after Judge John O’Connor in the Circuit Civil Court accepted his undertaking that no shadow directors would be permitted to have any part in the day-to-day running of the premises.
