Lockdown Part Deux: Cruise Control is going to be tough for everyone, especially businesses. That’s why at District we’re making a special effort this winter to support Irish businesses and shop local. We have been working on our Lockdown Index of businesses you can support throughout this extra miserable November. No doubt we’re all dying for a crisp pint, bougie cocktail or glass of red with our friends. Fear not, we’ve put together a list of Irish pubs and businesses that are offering pints, cans, cocktails, kits, glasses and bottles of your favourite booze to enjoy at home. This list will be constantly updated so check back in for new additions.
