Eager punters flocked to pubs in Napier and Hastings on Friday to celebrate all things Irish.
Rosie O’Grady’s Hastings manager Josh Evans said a bunch of people had turned up early for the lunch service, many who were thought to have sneaked off work early for the day.
“It’s going
to be a lot of fun, we’ve got live music from 4pm, and the sun’s coming out.”
He said that although they liked to have a good time, they were aware it was crucial to be responsible and operate within the law.
“We’ll make sure everyone is drinking safely and responsible.”
