A High Court rejects a legal challenge to the plans, which would see a tap room installed in Lidl's Dundonald store.

A legal win has cleared the way for Lidl to open its first pub in the North inside one of its stores after the High Court rejected a challenge to the proposal.

Well, this soon may be a reality - as Lidl in Northern Ireland has succeeded in its efforts to get a pub license in its new store in County Down. The retail giant won a legal challenge to operate a bar within its store in Dundonald despite several objections from local off-licences.
