Dublin pub’s “dial-a-pint” service a massive hit

Graingers Hanlons Corner in Dublin says they’re Ireland’s first pub to deliver pints to customers homes 

Graingers Hanlons Corner, a pub on Dublin’s North Circular Road, says they’re struggling to keep up with demand since launching their “dial-a-pint” service last month.

A staff member at the busy Irish pub told IrishCentral that the idea came about on March 15, when all the pubs in Ireland were forced to close amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

“Our dad, Mark Grainger Senior, who has been in the Irish pub trade for over 60 years came up with the novel idea to do a ‘dial a pint’ service.”

Along with the brilliant “dial-a-pint” service, Graingers Hanlons Corner is also running a “dial a meal” service where customers can get meals delivered to their homes - with a pint, of course! Customers can also order wine, other beer, and frozen cocktails.

Not surprisingly, the reaction has been “massive.”

“We are trying daily to cope with the demand for pints to be delivered. We have seven phone lines that don’t stop ringing from 11 am to 10 pm.”

Graingers Hanlons Corner is a family-run pub that’s been in business for over three generations. Since their beginnings off of Capel St in Dublin, they have had over 40 pubs under the Grainger name in a 60-year span.
