PINTS can once again be poured at one of the most popular pubs in Saltcoats.
The Windy Ha on Bradshaw Street has been given the green light to begin the sale of alcohol.
The town's "oldest pub", which is still owned by the Bruce family, re-opened at the beginning of last month under the operation of Sean Conaghan and his fiance Paige Loye.
While the boozer made its grand comeback after a 10-month absence, it was not quite business as usual, with the pub initially only able to sell food and soft drinks alongside a 'bring your own bottle' service.
But North Ayrshire's licensing board has now approved a series of occasional licences for the pub, allowing it to sell alcohol until the board's next meeting in June.
The series of occasional licences was granted at a meeting on March 18.
Following the meeting, a spokesperson for the Windy Ha said: "We are happy to announce that today North Ayrshire Council granted us our full license to serve alcohol.
"So, if you thought we were giving up you couldn’t be further from the truth. This is just the start!
"We look forward to bringing The Windy Ha back to its former glory. We know this will take some time, but we are here to stay."
A full selection of drinks will be available at the bar from Wednesday, March 20, with the sale of alcohol now permitted from 10am until 12 midnight, Sunday to Thursday and until1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
The team also say they have a "big weekend" coming up with full plans to be posted on The Windy Ha Facebook page in the coming days.
