    Think the opening of the firehouse was a nail in the coffin to the place that use to be opposite the Hunt museum. Will be curious as to whether the cycle repeats itself.

    Nope. Place closed before Firehouse opened I believe. Either way it was to do with them struggling to stay open with Vegan only menu so they added regular food and then the vegans went ballistic and stopped going there altogether.

    An impossible crowd to deal with at the best of times. Fussy and demanding and never ****ing happy.

    I am vegan and this statement is so wrong I don't even know what to say. Sorry, it just is.

    The Bubble Tea place was never very good or very busy to begin with. They added meat to the menu as an attempt to save it which obviously alienated most of their existing customer base and the food wasn't good enough to attract new people.

    The fact that the Old Firehouse is thriving and the Underdog is opening shows that there's plenty of support and demand for this type of food.

    Vegans can't have oral sex because their mouths are too busy telling everyone they're vegan.

    Lol.

    Vegans aren't demanding or fussy. We're the fools who will throw money at any place that makes an effort to put things on the menu that don't have animal bits in it. That's why Da Vincenzos, La Cucina, Freddy's, Taikicki have separate vegan menus. They want the veggie $$$.

    Edit: ^^^ That guy, JBJ, got here first whoever he is :pac:

    I can't help but notice the amount of older secondary school pupils walking around with their double tall chumbawamba lattes these days. Both lads and girls from all different schools. Unheard of when I left school 11 years ago. If the kids in the schools on Sexton Street like their take away coffee then it could do very well. Then you have the teachers and whatever small businesses there too... and of course the courthouse is only around the corner.

    The Horse and Hound having been doing a roaring lunch trade for years now...long before the court complex opened across the road.

    The Horse and Hound are in a different league of their own.

    Sorry to go way off topic for a second but Hook & Ladder used to have an outside catering van going around town and the only sign-writing on the van was an ampersand sign. It was such a pointless piece of advertising and waste of money. I only copped it was Hook & Ladder when I seen the van loading there a few times.

    Yep, it’ll be a mini Hook & Ladder. The name is the symbol in the middle of Hook & Ladder.

    Not a new business but article in the 'Leader' today about Lidl starting the demolition and replacement of their Childer's Rd store. Anyone know what size their replacement store is going to be as they were refused PP by An Bord Pleanala earlier this year on the grounds that their proposal was way too big for the zoned area. Have they managed to get their 1800 sqm store in the end?

    Looks like they are using the old Chadwick's building as well. Was there last night and it's gutted all bar the roof and the supporting beams.

    AFAIK the plan is to demolish Chadwicks and build half their new store, then move into the new half completed store demolish the old one and complete the new build so that they can continuing to trade during construction.
