Quarter of a century for Gerry at Tolster's

One of Castlebar's most homely pubs, Tolster's of Spencer Street, has celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Needless to say, the premises was packed for the occasion.

Genial landlord Gerry spoke a few words before the entire pub serenaded him with 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow'.

Gerry's popularity with his customers is legendary.

In the few words that he spoke, Gerry made it clear that customers always come first to him and his staff.

"It's not the name over the door but the people who come in the door," he stated.

Gerry honestly confessed that running the pub over the past 25 years 'hasn't always been easy' but he's enjoyed himself.

Here's to the next 25 years at Tolster's.
