Joy has been in pretty short supply lately but one Instagram account building a steady fan base is @dublinbricks. We might not be able to raise a glass in our favourite city-centre pubs, but the page s creator has been managing to raise plenty of smiles with his lovingly crafted micro versions of much-missed bars around the city, all brilliantly recreated in Lego form.
The boozers built from bricks and filled with Lego customers quaffing tiny pints of Guinness have had Dubs in tears in the comments section of the @dublinbricks Instagram page, but a glance through the account s Lego creations reveals a rich tapestry of Dublin city life - from Brennan s Bread sangers to Tayto crisps and the Lady on the Rock - entirely rendered in tiny, multi-coloured bricks.
