Things slowly unraveling and publicans not taking it anymore

Very festival feel with takeaway pints

its cloudy and raining this weekend according to forecast so i don't think they'll all do as much business as last 2 weekends.

Question about all the takeaway pints. I'm guessing line cleaning hasn't been going on, so... you might be having some interesting tasting ones if got from a pub? Or am I missing something

They can clean them , its not hard to do.

Although, the breweries havent been brewing the last couple of months, no deliveries been taking place so the beer being dispensed could be out of date or very nearly out of date.

Then why do Guinness have their cleaning teams if Tom the Barman can do it?

Guinness probably make the pubs use the cleaning teams normally. They can get pubs to basically do whatever they like.

It’s all for their Instagram story that they get out of it

I run a pub, we clean our lines every 10 days or so, guinness/Heineken only come every six weeks to clean them.

If you don't mind me asking why do you feel the need to clean every 10 days? What draught system do you have?

All Breweries clean their own lines, not just Guinness. Guinness have way less influence over pubs than they used to.

Id buy a takeaway pint if say i could sit in/near there beer garden or any big green. I refuse to order them to my house as its too expensive and youre better off buying cans/bottles

Does the public drinking rule even exist anymore ?? Mostly always see people drinking in public

There's no law, only bye-laws particular to certain areas, iirc.

when the pubs that serve reopen do you have buy food? or are they just opening as more as restaurants ?

kenmc · 21-06-2020 2:50pm

Good question. Surprised that hasn't been asked already.

Del2005 · 21-06-2020 2:50pm

€9 of food needs to be bought

SweetCaliber · 21-06-2020 2:53pm

Wonder what will happen with Hotel bars? We've a week booked in Kerry and are hoping we can get pints delivered to the room as roomservice? We will be eating in the hotel bar/restaurant but wonder will they be strict with the 90 minute window for hotel guests also?

Interesting one so it is.

Bob Z · 21-06-2020 3:06pm

going slightly off topic but is there a distinction in law between a restaurant/pub and a pub and a restaurant ? is there separate laws? are they seen as closer to pubs or a restaurant ?

21-06-2020 3:07pm

If you only buy €8.99 worth of food you’re as good as dead.

Bob Z · 21-06-2020 3:07pm

will pubs reopen in july or just wait to august ?

seamusk84 · 21-06-2020 3:10pm

You serious with these questions? Then again I am desperate for a pint of Guinness in my local...

No its not. All bars without food can open 20th July. 29th june for those operating as restaurants.

There's already threads on this

It was August originally but they brought the last stage forward in to July.

I do wonder about hotel bars now though. I've 2 nights away for the first weekend in July and of course we'll be out for dinner and we'll have a few drknks with dinner but I wonder seeing as we're staying in a hotel will the bar be open to residents or if we can get something to the rolm

The original plan had hotel bars not opening, so presumably that will still be the case until July 20. But most hotel bars also serve food, so maybe now they will be open?

One would expect there to be some common sense so room service would be a given - or just buy a bottle of wine for the room.

In a hotel room.

Getting pints delivered which are normally ****e in a hotel but now will be extra ****e from the delivery service.

Rather be at home.

Saw NPHET mention that nightclubs wouldn’t open until the 10th July at the earliest. Would have thought pubs would open before nightclubs.

Have already said it on another thread but think the distinction between pubs serving food and those serving drink once table service is daft. In any event I don’t see pubs being strict on implanting the €9 meal. Can see them maybe allowing groups to just spend that between them.

Wonder is there any possibility that the 20th July will be brought forward?

The Nal · 21-06-2020 5:23pm

So you can go pay a game of football next week, full contact and sweat on other people but you can't sit beside someone in a pub. Makes sense.
