    Think this is owned by the same people that have Bread and Butter. They are supposed to do tapas at this location, so I guess we'll see. My only request is that they post the lunch specials online before the lunch period, not hours afterwards when its not use to me.

    Speaking of supermarkets, there is a new one open in Joe Bidd's place, called Jamie's supermarket who also deliver (according to signage). Not been in yet though


    Had a quick look around Jamie's and seems to be a reasonable selection of goods for the size of the place, prices looked okay.

    Heard a few rumours last week, don't know how much truth is in them though.

    First one is that when the courthouse moves to it's New location, Wetherspoons will be taking up residence in the old building.

    The second is a new niteclub in what used to be Milan, apparently it will be called The Warehouse.

    Don't know about the courthouse but there was some noise about it becoming a bar alright.

    As for Milan, there has been a load of working going on inside it the last while, so there could be some truth in it. Had to stop to let a mini dumper take a load out of the doors of what was going into McCarry's bar. Heard jack hammers too.

    Doubt its them. I work near there and there has been no movement other than gutting it a bit. And Gallaghers is far from ready. Still have the dumper truck throwing stuff out.

    This is going to be a cafe/wine bar I heard. Its the same crowd that own Bread and Butter down in the retail park.

    I wonder has anyone heard any more on this? I'd like to see another live music venue on the Main Street to rival Voodoo lounge. They annoy me selling their hangover causing Huzzar vodka at Smirnoff prices just because they can.

    They are still working on it. Was walking past this morning and could hear an angle grinder inside.


    On a different note, I'm sure many of you have seen that Berry Layne (in Patrick Gildea's old unit for those who don't know it) has opened. Seems to be doing well so far. Plenty of people heading in and out.

    Was meant to open on 1st June but that isn't going to happen. Delays cause of planning permission and objections. The front face needs to be replaced and scaffolding erected etc.

    On another note, I prefer Huzzar as Smirnoff gives me the hangover :D

    Most places sell a generic vodka if you just say 'vodka' - my local uses Huzzar for students and no regulars, Smirnoff for regulars. Smirnoff is the same price is you ask - Absolut and Finlandia dearer.

    Ah you can ask and they do have it under the counter its just that its Huzzar on optic on a lot of the staff don't know they have it and its a hassle asking for it but I still do sometimes. I'd prefer good going bars to get rid of Huzzar.

    Anyway looking forward to see what this new place will be like. Is it definitely going to a McGettigans with food and all? I'd imagine it will do well.

    There's a new cafe opened in Killybegs called Ahoy. Was in last week and the food is excellent. It's a small place though, you wouldn't want to be going in with a group at peak times.

    There's a new children's clothes boutique opened in Donegal town called Bow and Arrow. I haven't been in so I've no idea about prices etc.

    It is. It was bought about two years ago. There's a Facebook page but no opening details on it.

    Donegal Town.

    Tots and Tassles. Where Classic Casuals once was. Appears to be a mother and baby shop.

    Stella. At quick glance where the music shop was, beside master clean. Still being fitted out so no idea what they're selling.

    Warehouse Bar& Kitchen on the site of McCarrys and Milan opens this Wednesday. Its quite nice inside.

    Should do well for the foreseeable, though Letterkenny doesn't draw in the crowds like it used to

    Was in today for some grub. They are still doing work in the place but got a decent look about.

    Bit of tex-mex but it is well done, burgers and the usual pulled pork. Only had the soft opening menu available but said they would have the full menu in a few weeks. Nice place, good light which surprised me and plenty of space. Upstairs has a smoking area/balcony too though it is a smaller area.

    They've done a nice job on it and it was plenty busy

    I see there's a new hairdressers on Main Street, Donegal Town where o2/Vintage Antiques used to be.

    There must be big demand on hair-care in the town, as there's a fair number of hairdressers in the town now.
