Pub-goers enjoy a beer outside while waist-deep in flood water

Many pub goers would immediately head indoors as rain begins to fall, but two revellers decided they would not let a bit of water ruin their afternoon drinking session.

Heavy rain fell across England this weekend, causing the River Aire in Leeds to burst its banks and flooding the garden of the Kirkstall Bridge Inn.

But despite being waist-deep in water, two drinkers remained in the pub’s beer garden to finish their beverage.

Photographs of the men have since gone viral on Twitter with many admiring their determination to finish their pint in the great outdoors.

One nearby resident (@MarleyAJMegeary) posted: “Can we all establish that the pub near where I live has flooded and there’s 2 guys drinking a pint like nouts wrong.”

Martin (@6TownsMart) added: “I admire their devotion to the cause!”
