Pub in Charlesland Shopping Centre (Superquinn) to be opened?

mcgiggy

Heard a rumour that the licence for the premises that is going to be a pub above superquinn in charlesland was about to cease and for it not to be revoked they gave the lease out for a small price to some publican??? Is it going to be opening soon? Has anyone seen any sign of life in the place? It would be great if it did open - maybe this pub if its not run by the Byrne family like the beach house and the burnaby, then maybe it has a chance of having some atmosphere....

This rumour has been doing the rounds since 2004 and it's never come to anything.

The "To Let" signs are still up, so I would have thought if the lease was taken they'd have made a big deal of changing those!

It wouldn't have had a license to start with - it just had planning permission to be a pub\restaurant. Anyone taking the lease would've had to source their own license.

So why are there big signs on the windows that say LICENSED premises to let?

And I get soooo excited when I see threads like these - but alas, still nothing happening...the last thread was here. Anyway, back in january it was rumoured to be opening in Spring, and the last time I checked, it's now Summer! No activity in the place when I last walked past over the weekend.

Until the To Let sign is gone and Builders are going in fitting it out as a Pub its not opening as one people & i doubt it ever will especially in the current economic climate.

Overheard a bloke saying it was opening when in the Carriag. Then heard from the barman in the Woodlands that his boss had got it.

I wondered lonely as a cloud,
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
when all at once i saw.....a PUB.......

Alas, I can only dream about the excuse I would have to make up for taking 3 hours to go shopping for a pint of milk.

How about there was no staff on the tills and the self service tills were broken!

Ciaranpm

It is the guy that owns the woodlands and apparently the first floor bit is all the pub is going to be in but the roof/floor needs to be to adjusted before he can open.........

If this happens......Can you get him to call the new pub "The Office".

"Sorry luv, I'm a bit delayed at the office. Be back as soon as I can"

No excuses neeeded......Perfect

But was he carrying kegs!?

Charlie-Bravo

The first person to get me a photo of 'some activity' in this place can have a pint on me when it opens...but for now, I still don't believe you!

Merrilady

Any more update on this ?
Someone nice to have a pint would be FAB

Either they've got slugs working as builders or ive been a victim of the rumour mill! There's no working going on in there at all.

mikedragon32

And the "To Let" signs are still there....

Maybe they're going to call it "Tumbleweed"?

Fantastic name. Anyone interested in a pint at The Tumbleweed? I hear there's a cactus in the beer garden...

JanneG

Just make sure to turn the heating up and run a couple of de-humidifiers with a load of sand on the floor and you have your theme for the pub so...

mcgiggy

Yeah guys it looks like there is nothing happening there at all - that builder i saw must have just been looking around the place. Damn it. Why doesnt greystones have a decent lively boozer!!! We need something like the Martello in Bray.

I heard the Martello lost its late licence due to a police raid on Wednesday.

mcgiggy

It lost its late licence for 2 nights tuesday and wednesday of last week, due to a police raid on the monday night. apparently they had no late night exemption for last week. It is back to normal now open till 2.30, 7 nights a week.

Its going to be open by November apparently.

foxy06

Decks

Whats it going be? Bit big for just a pub, isnt it?

cavemeister

November?? Thats only 3 months away... My bank manager will not be impressed if a pub opens in Charlesland

I really hope it happens.....

2019 (teehee)

One of the cab drivers told me he had a fella in his cab who said the owner of the building had to reduce the rent a lot so the Woodlands guy had defo taken it and it would be open by Nov.

We'll have to wait and see cos there's been a lot of speculation over it.

Merrilady

Hmmmmmmm lets wait and see will we

Decided I better quote you on this in case your posting mysteriously disappears if the boozer actually opens.
Oh! and thanks in advance Astro....nothing better than a free beer.
Now watch for the activity photos to appear:):)

What about me taking a photo of you outside "the pub" doing some sort of activity and it would be sorted?

The Yipper

Hmmmm!
two people meeting in a carpark outside a dis-used building??
Didn't george michael get arrested for something like that.....but ok...sounds fine to me!

Can't find a delete button for that post - damn...I await the winning photograph so!

Just one thing, you'd better be quick, cause I might get a photo up first! yeah, buy myself a pint...

Mullie

You'll be in trouble if this pub opens! I think I was promised a pint after a bet you made went wrong with the pipe in my garden fiasco

mikedragon32

Ah here, I might as well jump on the bandwagon too... Astro, I think it's your round!

Charlie-Bravo

I thought you would say something alright Mullie! Damn again.

Yeah yeah, I'll get the first round in so (but only for us four!)

Please lock this thread before someone else reminds me I promised them a pint!!!

ciaran67

Better get your wallet out Astro... spoke to guvnor of Woodlands yesterday and he said it all starts next week, hes got the keys, and will be open in November.

JanneG

Time to start saving so... :rolleyes:

Yes I will be expecting one too Astro. Maybe us locals should call it the Astro

Cheeky Chops

and I hope the door policy has a League of Gentleman "we don't like the villagers around here" vibe.

very funny...was it a photo opportunity?!


To whom it may concern: I only have obligations to buy Mullie a pint and the other FIRST person who posts a photo of the activity up here.

And me.

i wonder will the management be more interested in creating a local pub that residents enjoy and use regularly or the type of pub that doesn't have locals because it lets in any auld skag bag and drifty and comes with it's own garda car and ambulance. Could go either way. Fingers crossed they know what they're doing.
