We’re all struggling to adapt to new social distancing measures during the coronavirus lockdown.
Whether you’re missing seeing your family and friends, playing sports or even heading out for a meal at your favourite restaurant.
Trips down to your local pub may be placed on hold but how would you feel about the bar coming to you?

Well one pub in Belfast is offering freshly-poured pints of Guinness delivered straight to your doorstep.
The Hatfield House wrote on Facebook:
“We are delighted to be able to offer all our customers the goodness of a freshly poured pint delivered to their home in the safety of isolation.”
They added:
“The service areas in the mobile units are sanitised after every use for your safety. Looking forward to serving you all soon.
“Stay safe, stay home and let us bring the pub to you.”
A spokesperson of the The Hatfield House said to the extra.ie:
“We hope to encourage our wonderful customers to stay safe and stay home through live streaming music every Friday and Saturday night and delivering pub grub and off sales.

“Delivering freshly poured pints of Guinness seemed like a natural extension of what we were already doing.”
While we’re certain they won’t be making the journey over the Firth of Clyde to drop off a cold pint of Guinness, it’ll definitely be welcomed news for the people of Belfast.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
