Bierhaus has the most miserable barman I've came across in. Wouldn't even let one of the lads keep his top from an omnipollo bottle

That ludicrous ! What reason did the barman give ?

Also underdog for the win

Dicey Reilly’s in Ballyshannon.

Franciscan Well Brewery, Cork

Savage pizza!

Simon’s place/Yellowbelly, Wexford

The Underdog always has a great selection, but I just don’t like the bar itself.

The Brewdock is a pretty nice bar

I quite like T O'Brennan's - decent range, decent size, decent staff, everything is nice and clean and new (faux-80s interior clearly isn't). Haven't been enough to decide for certain

Brew Dock was better with the staff from a few years ago; its also probably too close to my office causing over-familiarity. Still go quite a lot.

Don't get enough time to spend in craft beer bars these days, but have been impressed with my couple of brief visits to PMacs in Dundrum, particularly since they opened up the upstairs area, so there's a bit more space to chill. I don't know if you can really describe the Harbour Bar in Bray as a craft beer bar, but they have a good selection of craft beer, and it's my favourite bar. Looking forward to visiting a few more on this list, like Underdog.

Interesting. Might stop off on the way back from Rotterdam.
*Edit*: Gah! Closed on Mondays! Many other nice craft beer spots in The Hague open on a Monday?

Theses 3 arent bad either:

Also if you travel via rail to Den Haag Central from Rotterdam there is this http://www.minglemush.nl/ located within the grounds of the station. It has a bar inside called Anna's that has 12-15 taps offering various craft beers.

That's one that I often overlook / forget about when thinking of where to go but anytime I've been there I've enjoyed it and it's probably one of the cheapest. I got a pint of World's End for the same price other bars were charging for a 330ml.

Two in Dublin closed, counted by opening in Limerick and Belfast. Leases come and go - their Dublin branches are generally in pubs which had lengthy closures before or are planned for redevelopment etc.

Which ones have closed down out of interest?

Is it coincidental that Wetherspoons have opened close by both locations?

Yes. Doubt it had any factor in either closing.

The DL branch was a very significant hike from 'spoons; also the DL 'spoons is like drinking on a ferry and while it always has a selection of bottled craft and cask it isn't the most interesting option. And the food is awful.

The Blackrock GBB was not like any other pub in the chain - had an offo, served macro like their other non city centre pubs but to a higher extent, had things you see in a regular locals pub like last man standing competition.
