Pub Openings / Refurbs / Closing Thread - Mod Note Post #1

Big Nasty

Works well in many of the regional forums.

Bow Lane Social due to open soon on Aungier St. Dublin.

Bronze Cocktail Lounge opened recently enough on Baggott St. Dublin.

Haven't heard of any closures recently?

############## Mod Note regarding Bar Closures ##############

Please do not post rumours or otherwise speculate about bars that may close as such comments only do more damage to businesses.

Also, no speculation about why bars may have closed. If you have links to reputable media reports - fair enough, but "I hear yer man owes the revenue millions & never paid PRSI either" type stuff puts boards on dodgy legal ground.

Cheers,

tHB

O Dwyers in Kilmacud (Co. Dublin) has been taken over by a new owner. No major refurb but got a luck of paint.

Owners of P.Macs are opening a new bar on Westmorland St right beside their other bar cassidys. Don't know exactly when but the announced location last month and you can see ongoing work if you walk past

Solas Wexford Street closed pending refurb.

What was the John Tyndall and has been vacant for quite a while in Carlow Town has lost its for sale signs and was getting exterior paint as I passed a few days ago.

Was mooted for JDW a while back but that seems to be further down Tullow St where Buzz's/The Traders used to be.

O'Sheas Merchant to become a craft bar pretty soon. Well. A Hybrid.

Has someone taken it over? Hardly another Galway Bay pub?

Foleys Hop House opened in the former Stage Door premises in Woodquay, Galway back in July, have been three times, decent craft range, beer of the week for a fiver and great woodfired pizza.

seemingly a manager from one of the GBB bars is taking over, so I assume a bit more than fraft.

also, it looks like they are keeping a section for the old school locals to continue on drinking Guinness, which is a good thing.

I'm all for the craft revolution, but I'm dead against uprooting aul lads from their pints in their dotage, and it looks the kind of place that still has a few ol fellas drinking pints of guinness and smoking players, leave them at it I say, no harm in it.

Opening tomorrow.

Draught beer only served in 1 litre growlers and works out at €8.50 a pint initially and then €6.80 a pint for refills. Hotdogs for €16/17. I think I'll pass...

Sounds horrific.

But...but...but.. Their 'three draft crafts' are sourced from three different suppliers so they must be worth it.

Dear God, the only useful function served by this place will be to skim off some of the cream of ireland (rich and thick) so us regular joes can have a drink in peace in sane establishments.

Who doesn't want their bottles served in one of these?

Lovely Bloke

it sounds like a place I'll never go.

And that's cool, variety is the spice of life.

In the comments people are saying 7.50 per pint, just shows how expensive it is when the missing/negligible 68ml is actually costing €1!

If they want craft beer in then fine, put in a few extra lines and bottles. Don't cut off your bread and butter punters.

I wonder will they close Cassidys now?

Great stuff. Always a nightmare getting a decent pint out there on match days.

With that and the square ball on Grand Canal Street, there should be plenty of choice after matches. And for those of us that live close by
