Invercargill’s popular Waxy O’Shea’s has reopened following an extensive refurbishment.

Now known as Waxy’s Irish Pub, the venue had been temporarily closed for a $400,000 makeover, its first makeover since its opening in 2001.

About 50 people attended the reopening of the Dee St pub, on Thursday, August 10.
