looked all diageo etc to me when I had a glance
cute hoor seemed the most 'craft' they had on tap or did they add more stuff on?

They have a rascals beer, Sneaky Beak, that says it brewed for them, a Hope beer, Brewdog Punk, Founders All Day IPA. Probably a couple more but as I was there with the in-laws didn't get a full chance to check.

It seems to be owned by the same guy who opened the Black Wolf in Blanch.

Very, very long closed Belfry in Stoneybatter under refurbishment currently.

Thought Stoneybatter was a bit short on pubs alright

I was told its the same crowd who have the Station Hse in Raheny and the Cock and Bull in Coolock.

Will check it out at the weekend. If its like their other 2 pubs it'll soon hurt the Whitworth's trade as its not the most well pub in the area (and thats me being nice!).

The Whitworth comes under that umbrella also, I believe.

Was it ever actually under different management? They literally just changed the light fixtures in there (oh and the smoking area) but everything else was identical. Id heard it struggled shortly after the name change...

Competitive area tbf...

Yep, the Cock & Bull guys ran it.

The off licence in the Abbot's Ale House, Devonshire Street, Cork has closed and a bar opened in its place. Upstairs only open at weekends now, afaik.
10 rotating beer taps.
Nice decor, too.

Weird feeling.

Glad we have another decent pub.

I really liked the off license though

Has Madison/Blu Bar reopened yet in Tallaght? I heard the guy who has the Metro is taking it over.

Steering Wheel in Clondalkin was closed before Christmas, but back open now. Big money being spent on it too I believe.

Rising Sons applied for a Brugge style beer pipeline

Link

He is now seeking the go-ahead from the council for a plan to link both breweries through an underground pipeline under the street. The pipeline will be used to transfer beer products from one site to the other.

“Similar beer pipelines exits in other locations. There was one installed in Bruges in Belgium in 2016. Our proposal would be similar but on a smaller scale. Linking the Rising Sons to the new microbrewery across Cornmarket Street,” Mr McCabe said.

Nice

Mcneills on capel St hasn't been open anytime I've walked past in the last week or so, anyone know anything?

L1011

I heard it was changing theme; however I can't remember where, when or why. Was closed when I passed both times on Saturday afternoon/evening also.

The Cobblestone tweeted at the start of December that the word on the street was McNeills had been bought and was to be converted into a cocktail bar.

Bierhaus in Cork is closed for a few days for some remedial work to sort out the not very nice smell coming from underneath the bar.

Should be open again by Thursday or Friday.

That is a real shame. Enjoyed the range of beers (especially the stout) and supporting a local(ish) brewery. Good luck to all involved with any future ventures.

Is it true that a river running under this caused structural damage to the foundations that they couldn't afford to fix?

Just passed by Burkes this morning on Amiens street and it looked like there was work going in inside. Not sure if there doing anything to the pub or if there renovating upstairs for apartments or something.

Rialto House reopening the end of the month. Can anyone tell me who owns/manages it?

hynesie08

Pity that an actually historically significant name is getting mangled there.

Just passed the sunset house looks like it's getting refurbished
