It’s been party time across Irvine pub beer gardens as lockdown has started to slowly ease.

Revellers have jumped at the chance to return as pubs with beer gardens have started to open their doors – while adhering to strict social distancing rules – including the Crown Inn [pictured], R&A Sports Bar, and Irvine Water Sports Club amongst those already open.

And regulars at Irvine’s Delta Bar will even be able to return to the Bridegate with the pub set to reopen at 7am this week on Wednesday, July 15.
