Pub goers were left with an unexpected foam party in south Dublin after a tank of beer split open and sprayed all over the bar.

The Bridge pub in Ballsbridge was the victim of a terrible waste of beer that caused revellers to run for cover as the room got soaked.

The popular bar posted a hilarious video of staff scrambling to contain the flow as drinkers stood back and watched in good humour.

They wrote: "Have you ever wondered if we have beer in our Tanks..... well here’s proof..... at our not so planned foam party last night"

People wrote back to the post joking that the gaffe was a huge waste, with some jokingly offering to lick it up.

Those offers won't be needed however, as the pub has said it has since reopened and complimented their "legendary" staff who were "a little smelly" going home.
