    The Globe are doing pints, cans and cocktails to take away. They definitely had Guinness and Heineken, not sure what else on tap.

    Slightly out of the city centre, Fourth Corner at St. Patricks Catherdral are. They've a few seats setup outside too.

    All over the place in town; it’s actually mad the number of people clogging up pavements drinking outside, rolling barrels and the like into roads for makeshift seats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,122 ✭✭✭Davexirl


    I was in town yesterday, Mary's and The Globe both selling takeaway pints. No Guinness left in Mary's but The Globe had Guinness, there were gangs of people standing around South William Street and outside Grogans.

    A good crowd of people drinking on Dame Court in the evening then around 8 o'clock the Guards came along and started moving people on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,176 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Grogans are making pains to point out that they're closed and anyone drinking outside there got the pints elsewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,816 ✭✭✭Vorsprung


    Passed a group collecting pints from the Patriots Inn opposite Kilmainham Gaol this afternoon.

    While I haven't indulged in a pint or buying one from a pub, as I don't really see the point of buying one to drink at home. I might however if I was out on a walk and fancied a pint. However, it is this type of behaviour that ruins it for everyone. Get your pints and fúck off to a place where your not bothering anyone. Other publicans should be telling the pub to do the same.

    Not sure if it was the exchequer. They were being served out of a doorway on that side of dame court but possibly too far down to be a side door of the exchequer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭duffmann


    Lots of ladies and gents pissing in public around Grogans earlier. Hope it rains tonight.

    I think RíRá at the back of The Globe have a hatch sort of set up now too, could have been them.

    so many folk with their tongues out for drink after a few weeks without, its tragic. no wonder we have a rep for being a nation of drunks.

    Its a grasp at a return to somewhat of a normality and to catch up with friends. I dont see how that is "tragic".

    you might not see it but you've just explained it yourself...

    Been about three months actually. Only had one as well, but I must be tragic because of it if you say so :)

    great, we're agreed then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35 pow_pow


    Yes there appears to be a good few places selling pints, and also a mixture of others drinking cans. No harm, as someone said above people are trying to get back to a sense of normality and catch up with friends.

    But is anywhere allowing people in to use toilets? I saw two girls going to the toilet in Dame Lane (from a distance) and thought they were drug users or homeless, only to bump into them soon after and see they were far from the drug users homeless people I envisaged.

    Just resurrecting this, going for a meal tomorrow for the better halves birthday but the place is only doing walk-ins so we may be standing around for an hour... any update on what pubs are doing takeaway pints around Temple Bar/Dublin 1?

    the globe is probably worth a try


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 579 ✭✭✭vafankillar


    how did you get on out of interest? was in town myself earlier, it was like a last per-lockdown purge in most places lol

    Got a couple of takeaway ones at Ha'Penny Bridge Inn... at 7 quid a pint we ended up getting a couple of cans for the wait too! The Garda mounted unit were around moving people on.

    Yeah, there's this minor thing called Covid-19 happening at the moment.

    To be fair... town was like a ghost town and most people were in groups of 2 sitting at least metres apart from other people doing no harm. I get where you are coming from though to an extent.

    just buy cans or bottles in off licence

    beers in lines from keg are bad if they are not used everyday

    take away pints are still allowed up level 5 lockdown

    But dont the city centre bye laws prohibit drinking them in the street? Gardai could make you pour it down the nearest drain


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭pottokblue


    Takeway rubbish covering the canalbanks please take home your empty glass bottles of beer, wine, vodka, plenty of cans, pizzaboxes, surgicalmasks, takeaway wrappers. There were some mucky pups out last night leaving an eyesore behind them...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 579 ✭✭✭vafankillar


    quite a good few people drinking take away pints in town today despite it raining. think with the gradually lowering of numbers it's only a matter of time before we get a dry evening with enough people for an angerbait viral video on social media. dont know why take away pints are allowed even tho i'm tempted to go for one or two myself.

    I'm not sure about the whole takeaway pints either. Nearly seems like it's done with a nod and a wink.

    I'm gonna meet a mate during the week and take a stroll around the city with a naggin/hipflask of whiskey each.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,660 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    The first few pubs that offered it back in the summer had explicit warnings about not drinking within 100m of the pub, dont drink on the street etc...seems to have been quietly dropped. Dont think the guards are intetested in enforcing it either, as long as people dont take the piss.

    People are much less likely to congregate when its 4 degrees than when its 16 at 11pm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,771 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    Stay at home


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭pottokblue


    I enjoy pints at home or away, indoors/outdoors, pubs,cafe, airports.... IMO underlockdown 5 the places that serve takeaway pints should allow the consumers to use the toilet facilities. Likewise takeaway restaurants, coffee shops should allow the toilet facilities to be used with purchases. Its annoying the lack of public facilites in dublin during lockdown leverl 5 the only ones I know are Wolftone, Stephensgreen, Connollystation and mother nature....

    You're not meant to be hanging around town during Level 5 restrictions.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 11,975 Mod ✭✭✭✭BeerNut


    A ban on takeaway pints and cocktails looks to be on the cards.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,469 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Anywhere city centre still doing takeaway pints (or even mulled wine). Looking to meet someone for an hour tomorrow and don’t want to look for a booking/meal

    Stephen’s green area ideally

    yeah most of the places doing take away pints were substantial meal ( & proper kitchen) pubs who have ceased doing them to open 'normally' as such.

    only place that comes to mind still doing take away pints is the palace bar on fleet street/temple bar
