    It was busy enough on Saturday night anyway when I was there, as mentioned its not a place you'd want to drink in if you couldn't move or have a place to sit or stand.

    Mulligans food isn't that great. A bit expensive and to many burgers last time I was there.

    Although that was the Christmas menu.

    I remember being disappointed with the potted crab. Main was pork belly. It was all so so

    I haven't being in awhile but Vintage Kitchen do some great food on a similar if not higher level than Mulligans.

    You can bring your own beer too

    I too think the food in Mulligans is overrated.

    The pork belly wasn´t anything special for me there either.

    I thought the boar burger and the veal burger before it were both pretty Meh. Over priced and very average. People go on about the Scotch egg too which I was underwhelmed with. It's decent pub food charged at the same rate as some of the best bistros in the city but nowhere near their level on taste.
    I like mulligans but the food has always disappointed me there for the price they charge.

    Was only a matter of time tbh. Any time I'm in there somebody asks the barstaff for spirits, wine, etc.

    With those prices in that location, If they're still there in 2 years I'll take my hat off to them. I live very near by and have watched quite a few places fail there. I've been once and never returned, poor atmosphere, awkward forced "banter" from the staff and somewhat over priced.

    I've rarely seen any of the previous pubs be as busy as the beer market tbh. I like the atmosphere - it's not very pubby but very comfy & great for having a chat.

    And given that a lot if the beers are unusual & delicious, I'm very happy to pay a bit extra .

    I saw something completely different on a recent visit.
    Packed to the rafters on a Saturday afternoon.
    Went back late that night, still packed.
    Bar men who knew almost everyone's name and almost everything about what they were about to serve.
    Fantastic friendly, lively atmosphere.
    A selection where half the time I didn't know what to order in case I missed something.
    Noise levels were you can actually have a conversation with the person next to you.

    It has every chance unless they do something to shoot themselves in the foot.

    I long for the days of yore, for the alluring call of a quiet imbibing emporium with quality fare on tap, of a Saturday evening :D;)

    Hipster barman must have seriously irked you to want to pugilistically chastise him, so to speak :pac::pac::pac:

    Do tell...

    :( Just going to be another GBB bar. Sad to see its uniqueness going but better than going out of business I guess.

    I think the plan was always to have a kitchen. This is probably a sign that it is making money.

    The lack of food was a big part of its appeal for me tbh. Will probably attract a different crowd. Are the Pies being shown the door?

    why does the option of having a bit of food change it's appeal?
    It's not going to be compulsory to eat

    Really? I just assumed they'd pin me down and shovel food into me.

    It'll attract a different crowd. You know, a crowd that want to eat. That kind of crowd...

    (Yeah I dunno what the problem is either)

    Suppose it could get busy with a different crowd, meaning the crazy beers might not do too well?

    Hello,

    I'll be driving this weekend unfortunately but I'm meeting friends here. Any non-alcoholic options?

    Thanks!

    I'd say they'll have an option in bottles in the fridge.
