The crowd behind ATG opening up a new pub at the IFSC next month apparently, something to look forward to.

They are running a competition on their Facebook page to name the bar. Best entrant wins a basket of beer.

ATG mark 3, surely, because there's also the Black Sheep. And that's just counting their Dublin pubs.

The Black Sheep is ATG mark 1.5

Excited for this. Absolutely love Against the Grain, and dying to get into Black Sheep as it's a) way closer to me, b) has a free tasting bat if you present your cinema ticket (which as an unlimited cineworld card holder I'm very happy to hear ) and c) gives the perfect excuse for a mini pub crawl where I just go back and forth between it and L Mulligan for a few hours

Kate's Cottage used to be?? Didn't even know it was gone. When did that happen?

Glad to see another bar with more tasty beers coming along.

I was in the black sheep yesterday. It's really nice. Great selection of beer too, obviously.

Afaik it went into liquidation at some stage since the NY.

I got to The Black Sheep last week for a few pints on a flying visit to Dublin.
I gotta say, I liked the decor but, as has been mentioned in other reviews, the acoustics in there are terrible. It wasn't terribly busy and there wasn't loud music playing but it was very noisy all the same - that babble you get in large spaces with hard surfaces. A bit of dampening would work wonders.

There were 2 casks on at the time (should be four by now) and a really good bottle and draught selection - HopHead on cask was very very good. I was pleased to see that half pints are half the price of pints. And prices generally were pretty reasonable (for Dublin). I got a bottle of Jaipur for the bargain price of €5.50.

Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

I was too late for food so can't comment on that.

I like this pub, probably be my go to beer bar in Dublin now - please put some soft surfaces it to help the acoustics.

Does anybody have an opening date for The Brew Dock (Kate's Cottage)?

[sweetie]

have eaten twice in the black sheep and its very good - roast beef sandwich with boozy onions, mmmm. The barman is great too and they are kid friendly which is a big help to us.

Is it just me or is the food in Mulligans overpriced for what you get? I like it but have never been blown away by it.

Overpriced? If anything I'd say it's great value considering what you'd get for the same money in the average pub in Dublin.
