Fair City fans will be delighted to see McCoy’s pub back on their screens this week after a two-year absence.
The interior of the iconic soap boozer was ruled out of bounds during the pandemic because interior shots made it impossible to socially distance. Now, with Covid-19 restrictions eased, the pub regains its rightful place as the centre of the drama on the RTE soap set in the fictitious Dublin suburb of Carrigstown.
We took a tour of the set just to make sure everything was ship-shape, and we can let you in on a little secret. It’s real beer in real taps that’s served behind the bar counter – but it’s 0% alcohol.
