    Didn't notice that. They'll need to sort that out.

    Can't see what is wrong with a gmail address to be honest.

    It's not like they are using an oceanfree.net email like a certain well known moustachioed Fianna Fail TD from these parts :D

    These renovations make Cruises Street look even uglier, I hope it doesn't take them too long to finish it up.

    Maybe it's just the light there but it looks terrible, it looks like the sign is brown.

    It was quite dark when I was there, but it did look brown to me. :(

    The inside will have the same colour scheme as Childers and cresent. Same cake display, same fridge. Same chairs.

    I wouldn't be expecting anything exciting or different.

    Yes, like this

    But the colour of it in the other photo looks awful. They could probably put some concealed strip lights over it that shine down on it at night, that'd make the sign better overall anyway

    Yeah that's their colour. Well it's dark out.

    But it will be the same sign that's on Childers or cresent. They get serious erections for having their stores look the same. They won't be changing a colour or layout.

    I really like it! :)

    I was so sick of looking at the empty HMV and if Costa hadn't gone in there, who knows when something else might have!

    Agree. At least its not a bloody discount store or "sports" store selling tracksuits.

    In architecturally significant buildings or conservation zones restrictions would usually apply to signage to ensure it's not overly obtrusive or garish.

    But seen as Cruise's Street is a cheap, tacky, characterless joke no such conditions were required!

    Seems strange that they would choose "reverse McDonalds" as an interior theme for a coffee shop???

    Pro tip on getting free coffee in costa. Tell them you work in Dublin or cork and wherever. Staff get free coffee and there is no system of knowing if they are lying or not .

    Been gone about 18 months and do it in Dublin.

    It's not really "free" coffee then if it's fraud, is it?

    9c coffee plus the price of labour and the cup/lid. The courts will throw the book at you lot. :D

    That's for an americano. Few more cent for a cappacino

    It's more exploiting a loop hole.

    By the same measure the Cruises Street project has been another massive failure. It was nothing short of a planning atrocity! Robbing the city of a landmark 200 year old hotel that was central to pretty much every significant historical event in the city during that period!

    Old aerial images illustrate the level of destruction that the project entailed. Fine stone warehouses along Todds Bow, Chapel Lane and Denmark Street were pulled down and replaced with nasty, cheap legoland structures. A far more restrained and targeted redevelopment was required here. The hotel and the original lanes should have been preserved. We would certainly have a far livelier, varied and interesting streetscape today if that were the case.

    I think two bigger disappointments were the stunning landmark Cannocks building (now Pennys) which was pretty much the Cleary's (Dublin) of Limerick. Also Todd's was another attractive ornate facade which is now Brown Thomas probably the ugliest building in the city centre at the moment.

    The William street entrance to Todds was very impressive also which is unfortunately gone. There was also a string of other ornate imposing buildings on Sarsfield street which have also been lost. The mix of old Georgian and cheap 60's architecture in the immediate retail core of the city centre give it a shabby soulless atmosphere.
