A Welsh pub which was graced by the presence of Paul Rudd was forced to shut its doors after being ‘drunk dry’ by Wrexham supporters - according to the owner.

It’s not surprising though, as football fans queued for hours to get a spot in The Turf pub and watch Wrexham F.C finally get promoted to the Football League after 15 years.

Having been the underdog for over a decade, the Welsh team beat out Boreham Wood during Saturday’s final with the drinks steadily flowing until they finally stopped.

Although it’s unclear whether club owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney joined fans for a cheeky pint afterwards, at least one A-lister made an appearance at the local on Saturday.

Fresh from his latest MCU role, Ant-man star Paul Rudd was photographed raising a glass before the highly anticipated match along with director Joe Russo.

It’s unclear whether this contributed to the crowds at The Turf pub, but landlord Wayne Jones had nothing but kind words for the Marvel actor.

He told the BBC: "He was lovely, as was [film director] Joe Russo who he was with. Yeah really nice guys, they just wanted to be a part of it and soak in the atmosphere."

Jones even revealed that rep for the I Love You, Man actor had been in touch earlier that week.

"Somebody made contact in the week and said could we take care of them, they want to come in and have a beer,” the publican told the press, adding: "But yeah, you never know who's going to turn up here next really.”

However, Wayne did admit to being slightly overwhelmed be the huge crowds prior to the final on Saturday – with The Turf pub having to close its doors after fans emptied the barrels.

"They've completely drank us dry,” he told BBC news, adding: “It was bonkers, we had probably 450 people outside, and god knows how many hundreds inside - we were up to capacity in both.”

In fact, the owner has had to have an emergency delivery after Saturday’s game, just so he can reopen the venue – which was featured in the Disney+ documentary, Welcome to Wrexham.

"We've actually shut for the first time in 15 years that we've been here," he revealed earlier today, but said that the busy shift was worth it to celebrate Wrexham’s win and continuing popularity.

"I'm tired, exhausted actually. It's been a long nine months, but worth every second. Still a bit emotional, woke up with a few tears."
