I had a pint in Lidl’s new pub – I wouldn’t go back

A journalist visited Lidl's first pub in Dundonald, a Protestant suburb on the outskirts of Belfast, which opened last month. The pub, located next to a Lidl supermarket and off-license, features a clean, brightly colored interior with shelves of Lidl products and a modest selection of beers and spirits. The pint prices were higher than the UK average, with a Guinness costing £5.80. The pub represents a significant investment by Lidl, costing £500,000 and creating at least eight new jobs. Despite Belfast's restrictive licensing laws, the pub is intended to remain operational rather than being a temporary experiment.
