Is it a case of a pint exploding by itself or is the pub haunted [by the ghost of late regular Joe Murphy]? Either way the lad standing up reckons it was one of the other two boys….
There may even be a simple scientific explanation.
We may never know.

Simple, someone kicked the table….
ghosts don’t have legs
….was apparently Reeva Steenkamp’s final words.
ZING!!!!!!!
Take a bow Mani.
Cold pint poured into a glass just out of the dishwasher?
Inside of the glass would contract more quickly that the outside.
It’s happened to me before. Cracked glass that’s out of the dishwasher and a cold pint put into it. It holds together for a little while then just pops.
Happened to me a couple of years ago, scared the bejaysis out of me.
And me.
Exactly…and better explained that I could have put it.
…obviously :)
Jaysus dishwashers in Pubs, I’m nostalgic, they just rinse the feckers in dirty water here if you’re lucky. Nothing can kill me now.
Sniper missed his shot
Ah Barney’s is a class pub with good pints, illegal football streams and Dairy Milks! What more could you ask for? Just the pissed ghosts are a pain!
sure where would you get it
Stop the press!!!! Irish Bumpkins confused by science? Why are these men not at home with their families?
families make noise and don’t serve pints, mines a Guinness there please
Built on an Indian burial ground.
…damn…I was convinced by the sniper explanation until I read this…
I need an old priest and a young priest.
Ah here, I can’t be the only one seeing “Carrie’s” wiggling fingers bottom left hand corner of the screen right before the glass explodes.
That’s Telekinesis, Kyle.
Bit weird having CCTV inside the bar.
Really?
Needs voice-overs.
It’s happened to me twice. It’s so upsetting to see a pint wasted. But on the upside, it’s always replaced with a new one even if I was nearly finished!
Ah Jezis ’tis so upsetting Soapy, ah jezis–few rashers in a pan and a bit of oul grease, jezis not a sausage in sight…ahh…an oul sausage. The quiet pint.
Hot glass, cold liquid.
It’s not complicated.
Thanks for repeating this theory for the people who skipped all the comments above just to get to yours
Like hens around a broken egg.
Back and to the left.
To answer some questions
~ it wasn’t a warm glass from the dishwasher, glass was taken from the shelf and was at room temperature
~ these customers don’t have families, they’re all orphans
~ it wasn’t Joe Murphy’s ghost, he was a be beamish drinker nor smithwicks. Must have been another ghost passing through
Do you serve spirits?
First time this happened to me it frightened the shite out of me.
the glass usually goes into odd cubes like sweets one purchased for a penny as a child
they are designed to shatter like that so they don’t create a cutting hazard
The pint is not the only thing smashed here – the Wadsworth Constant also takes one hell of a beating.
