I think the Black Wolf in Blanch is an example of how to turn a staid old suburban pub into something more interesting. Might not be to everyone's tastes, but it sure is differentiated from the Vineyard vs Bell vs Roselawn etc.

They've never let me in. On the one occasion i got in the front door, another doorman escorted me out the back door for a chat and said 'not tonight'.

:eek:

Haha!

Not the first person I’ve heard that happen to. I went to go in 1 evening with my wife, about 6 in the evening and we weren’t allowed in because she had runners on.

I suspect that at the very beginning they wanted to ensure it didn't get the wrong crowd in. I've lived in Blanch long enough to remember what an undiscerning door policy resulted in in various places (anyone remember the Buddha Bar?). My biggest fear for the black wolf was that it would have folks in from trying to burn one another's houses down elsewhere for a not so quiet pint. I still see a load of the aul lads who propped up the bar in the Vineyard for years in meanwhile, so its not like they cleared out the regulars with any great violence. It's a nice mixed crowd and a good venue too for parties, been to a few upstairs in it now.

But we digress from Myos, which is basically stuck in the early 2000s.

Too little too late, they refused a lot of people in their first months for silly reasons who will never set foot in the place.

Of the five times I’ve ever been in Myos I got the sense that they had their arms tied by the clientele that drank there. If they were to have a, I don’t' know, 80s nice or live entertainment, either the regulars would give out or the home owners would sue them

Their priority should always be to stay relevant in fairness to The Bell, whatever your preference is, they stay very relevant and cater for all, young and old and seem to pull it off well.

Myos used to have live bands, a long time ago.

One positive thing about Myos recently is they got rid of the car parking charges, what a joke. If you went into Myos during the day for lunch you had to fill one of those car parking meters, I think it was to put off lidl customers using Myos car park, however this never materialised and they got rid of the parking machine although several people did get clamped in the time it was there. However there is still a parking machine in operation over the road in De Bruins car park. I don't suppose you can blame the people running De Bruins on this as this would be down to whomever owns the carpark but it would not entice me to frequent the place, lets face it both pubs are not up to much. We now take a cab over to Kavs(the Gravediggers) over in Prospect Sq, Glasnevin, great pub, great pint but man it can get busy. Our other spot is the Strawberry Hall down in the Strawberry Beds, well worth a visit.

The Strawberry Hall will collect you from Castleknock village!

It's a County Meath publican that has leased Myo's, small time group, just 1 or 2 pubs.

As is the Black Wolf it'd seem!

"No runners" pubs would basically get about five auld lads and a few scrotes who still have the school shoes and the Fred Perry jumper they used to need to get in to the nightclub in Mulhuddart knocking around. That died as a dresscode thing about 2005.

It seems that Myos won't be doing food anymore. I asked the new management months ago and he said his plan was to focus on getting the crowds in first (it is a lot busier than it was in fairness) then offer a food menu again. However I asked bar staff the other day about this and I got a sarcastic reply of "yeah, crisps and peanuts".

It's a shame because their menu in the past was quite good.
