im thinking more along the lines of lidl. but anything that might cause a drop in the price of gargle im all for.

This combined with the all you can drink for €45 should put some competition into the market

Thanx 4 The Fish · 17-02-2003 9:16am

They are believe it or not quite good, I have indulged there a few times in inkerland. Pints are tolerable and they do good grub too.

Forgot to add, don't they have a no music or snooker/pool rule in their pubs?

HJ Simpson · 17-02-2003 12:07pm

You dont need music when you have the beautiful sound of cheap drink!

Thanx 4 The Fish · 17-02-2003 1:58pm

Yeah, looks like Irsh people will have to relearn the art of conversation.

Thank ****. €2 a pint, and the ability to have a conversation? I'm there. I hate going anywhere that you can't hear yourself, never mind those around you....

woosaysdan · 17-02-2003 3:24pm

cant wait and about time too!!!

Thanx 4 The Fish · 17-02-2003 3:52pm

Shame that alot of other people will be thinking the same thing, will need some strict ciontrol on admission...

DannyD · 17-02-2003 3:55pm

About time.

Yeah - we need the more discerning customer. Keep the students out!

xx · 17-02-2003 10:02pm

2 yoyo's a pint. I'm sold.

eth0_ · 18-02-2003 9:34am

I was just thinking last night, I wonder will they be selling their own brews, or brand name stuff like guinness, miller, bulmers on tap?

Tazz T · 18-02-2003 9:39am

The ones I've been in sell brand names but they also do 'specials' eg; they might have a real ale week or something, or a curry night. Food is great and unbelievably cheap. It's definitely what's needed here. Good place to start off an evening out.

Tusky · 23-02-2003 2:13pm

its not scary its fuppin dedly ! but is that before 6/7 p.m or somthing ?

corley · 23-02-2003 11:39pm

Someone was asking about the beers that Wetherspoon's
sell. There was an article in one of the Sunday papers last
week which said that Wetherspoons refuse to stock Guinness
products because they felt Guinness overcharged them for their
product - so at least some of the regular beers normally sold in
most/all Dublin pubs (Guinness, Budweiser, Carlsberg) will not
be sold in their Capel Street pub when it opens in the summer.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 24-02-2003 9:46am

No real loss and they are right not to stock items that they are being charged too much for.

Roll on the summer

hussey · 24-02-2003 10:00am

The pints they sell will be, murphys, stella, fosters etc.
they dont really sell the big brand names

they also dont have music, as this cost money for entertainment liceance, and money for sound systems etc.

it will be like a pub version of ryanair

irishguy · 24-02-2003 7:32pm

so its a place students can go before they go out and drink 6 pints in an hour.i still prefer drinking half a bottle of vodca then going out

kaimera · 28-02-2003 10:18pm

wonder how they will cope when big soccer matches are on tv?

Thanx 4 The Fish · 02-03-2003 6:58pm

I dunno if they will even bother getting a telly in, they will be packed anyway, cheap booze just can't be beat, got to a dear pub for the footy, back down the road for you half nothing stella for the rest of the night.

Pile of bollox really!! We are not allowed advertise cheap drink to most students due to Students Union rules. This is because of the level of alcohol abuse in this country allegedly. Now these c*nts can advertise €2 pints to the whole country. Bet ya it will be full of pikies though.

Jak · 11-03-2003 1:34pm

Was in a Wetherspoons in Edinburgh over the weekend and they most certainly did sell Guinness. Maybe it is varied by country - but they had it there. More than half the place was drinking it.

Also seeing how cheap drink is in Wales and Scotland, it is about time the balance was redressed over here.

mada999 · 11-03-2003 1:43pm

I've read that the drink is not the stuff sold in irish pubs like carlsberg, heiney, bud.
Yes they can sell the drink to us for this price because they don't pay for TV licence's or they don't pay IMRO. Therefore they're won't be any TV's Or Radios or Jukeboxes in the pub what so ever. But that makes no odds, in most places now all you can hear is the bass drum of some shítty dance tune, i say bring it on!

The days of publicans ripping us off is over, i can't wait!!!

having grown up in scotland till i moved over here a year ago i can say that ireland (dublin especially) pays through the nose for a pint of beer..

really is scandlous over here. Usually why i tend to drink in the house before i go out.

Will wetherspoons be opening any places in dublin?

Thanx 4 The Fish · 11-03-2003 3:10pm

First line of the thread Chief -

"Anyone see a tiny article in today's Herald about JD Wetherspoons buying a place on Capel Street? (possibly others in Cork and Galway)"

So here's hoping

kaimera · 12-03-2003 11:33pm

The days of publicans ripping us off is over

only in Dublin cos no where else around the country has a pint of stout for E4.50 [or so]

how many of those places with pints ore E4 are members of the VFI or are nightclubs?

As much as this will be a good thing...what about the lil rural pubs with the cheap booze...where will they be?
run outta business I'd say.

seamus · 22-03-2003 6:47pm

Article in yesterday's Sun :rolleyes: about a publican buying St Mary's church at the end of Henry St and renovating it to turn it into a venue.

Could this be the one?

PiE · 22-03-2003 7:03pm

Isn't that the place with the small park just behind it? That's been getting done up for ages now, think it's gonna be a club...

If this €2-a-pint pub does show up in Capel St, it'll be 2mins walk from me :]

Unfortunately it'll be 2mins walks from a lot of scum too.

€2 Pint?!
