...only around the corner from Sth. Main Street and all. For shame Diageo, for shame. Surely we must boycott this inferior establishment??

Bizarre line:

How Corkonians will react to the arrival of a Dublin brewer into a city with its own proud history of brewing is anyone’s guess, but with little left of Beamish & Crawford — other than the famous Counting House — and Murphy’s gone Dutch, whatever pride we had is long swallowed, along with more than a fair share of the black stuff.

So Murphys are now Dutch but Guinness are still from Dublin, despite being owned by British company Diageo?

L'Atitude 51 reopens tomorrow initially as a wine shop, also doing takeaway coffee and toasties.

Back fully open as a wine bar once restrictions lift

Good to see them back in business. Between them Charlie's and El Fenix nice choice of pubs over that side of city.

Does Clare Nash have a hotline to the radio? Everytime I turn it on and shes on it.

Most people are afraid to say no to her. I had business dealings with her in the past so always stayed on the right side of being professional in my dealings with her but not any longer so I might not be so polite the next time I meet her.

I used to go to Nash 19 but I stopped due to how rude she was to her staff. Not sure why she is such a voice, she could do with some manners.

Sounds like an absolute wagon. The other voice down the street Richard Jacob in Idaho is another I reach for the mute button.

I've ate in Nash 19 a couple of times, the food was good but the service is pretentious. Carrying your tray to your table, pouring your water, handing you a newspaper. I came in for a sandwich ffs

The South Mall crowd like that treatment. Makes them feel like royalty.

In fairness, both have been around for a long time with successful businesses. I don't know about Nash but I know someone working for Idaho and they loved it. Both sustainable businesses, Idaho has been hit particularly hard

I also know someone who worked there.
I haven't darkened their door in 20 years as a result of how my friend was treated by them.

My friend loved working there too, until she wanted to move on. Then things got nasty.

I would never go back in there, I was having lunch in there one day and she berated an employee within earshot, absolutely awful, I felt so sorry for the girl , I don't know how anyone works there tbh.

Exactly the same as what I saw. You go to a restaurant to enjoy a meal, not see someone abusing staff, she's absolute wagon who has over inflated opinion of herself. It left an awful taste in my mouth (pardon the pun). Won't be back.

In those situations, I always feel like telling the offending manager/owner what I think and that as a result of their behaviour, I will no longer offer my custom, but I'm always afraid that they would just further take it out on the unfortunate staff member.

Nash 19 on Princes Street.

My friends sister used work there and she used always be yelling making her cry.
I’m fairly sure she fell at work and broke something and never went back.

Why didn’t she sue them? I know of a few people have had accidents at work , one a broken foot and took a case against the employer.

I’m fairly sure she didn’t sue but she may have. Her family are in a similar business and they hate suing people.

This is starting to flirt with defamatory territory - discussion fine but not necessarily calling people names

Open for takeaway presumably as a wine shop.

Am I correct in assuming the stock to be sold is that which the yanks would have bought if there was no Covid this year.

Can't see huge demand for it in Cork.

I'm sure if they had excess stock they could always sell to yanks or other would be tourists online rather than renting a unit?

Why?
I'm pretty sure Guinness oursells both Beamish and Murphy's in Cork.

People can buy them to post to relatives / friends in the USA, for example. Potentially non-Irish who love the Guinness brand in Cork too, who would pick the stuff up.

.red.

That Guinness shop makes no sense to me, they're usually aimed at tourists who won't be here while the shop is open.
I'm sure thy have a marketing team that know the business model better than me tho.
