I've been told they are looking to some of the liquor licensing laws in other jurisdictions that require the establishment to serve food.



The new laws won't mandate that you have to have a substantial meal with your drink, but the establishment will have to serve food.

"Give us 4 guinness, 2 Heineken, 3 g&ts, 1 with slimline and a vodka coke there Johnny"

"we need to serve food Andy"

"alright so......... Packet of peanuts for the table"

The vhi can get their reputation back by giving one of these to every pub.

We absolutely need hospitality venues which employ people, and provide a range of leisure options. These options likely include drinking and addictive, depressive, toxin.

But we don't need venues dedicated to that and that alone.

At very least, they need to serve food too.

So, can I ask you do you usually eat at 10 ,11,12,1,2,3am. Its hardly recommended to anyone eating a dinner at that time, or maybe you can enlighten me. Please do.

What would you suggest happens to the night club business ? Perhaps nightclubs are not your thing but take a couple of provincial towns, Carrick on Shannon and Kilkenny, they both have a number of nightclubs that employ large numbers of people and contribute to the local economy and that spills over to the many other businesses. What would you suggest for the large numbers of people who enjoy the late night entertainment?

Ya but that c*nt says he’s going to review it again so it’s not like there’s any rush to review it or anything, will be lucky if we get into any sort of a pub this year. I absolutely hate the government, I always did but this is such a deep hatred that has developed.

Yeah i know how your feeling. Its gone beyond breaking point at this stage, a lot and i mean a lot of people are very upset since last night in and outside of the Hospitality industry

No.

In Level 4, pubs will not re-open to how we knew them before the pandemic. Restaurants and cafes will be able to open for take-away and delivery and outdoor dining or service to an "absolute maximum" of 15 people.

I don't know a single person in hospitality who was expecting an announcement yesterday.

Sorry this is gone way beyond the pubs, they could have at least relaxed the 5k, just something for f*ck sake. And April5th will come and go aswell with nothing relaxed either. I’ve cracked now, yday, for me was the last straw with the 5k.

That article in the mirror is the first place I've read the substantial meal rule will be gone. I had a look through the plan earlier and I was fairly certain it said that in Level 4 'wet pubs' can reopen outdoors with up to 15 people. Obviously not ideal but hopefully that means they will stop drawing the invisible line between bars that serve food and pubs that don't. The 'additional restrictions' line in the plan for wet pubs in Level 3 seems particularly ambiguous though.

Nothing set in stone and all that bollocks

No matter what level they open they will be packed and who can blame people for letting go either. The government/nphet are scared of this prob but tbh its unpreventable esp with social media

"we'll review in April"
"PUP extended till the end of June"

so basically kicking the can down the road again.

There won't be any PUP / non-food pub crossover , so checking the end of PUP is the best barometer of pub opening , so end oj June is the next time for a can kick, not a hope before then.

Yeah I think we all know pubs will be among the last business to reopen. So I’d say your method is pretty sound.

Kennys in James street advertise take away pints and their door is open, anyone purchase in there?

I wouldn't hang around Kennys or Kavanaghs drinking pints! :eek:

It's a shame we cant actively plan for a Summer yet as we're still in limbo over where we'll be..The Brits on the other hand are planning an almighty sesh for June 21st....I find their plan of recovery a bit ambitious though.

Irish Government don't do planning.. NPHET are calling the shots...

As for the UK you could need a barcode app on your phone with your vaccination status before you're allowed into a pub... I can see it happening, once tried to get into a bar in London but you had to scan your passport to get in.. I passed...

I tell you one thing, pub I frequent has one dirty fûcker who after a heap of Murphys we’d end up walking out and getting lads in with hazmat suits to disinfect and spray some febreeze!

He needed to adjust the headrack up a couple of notches, stops the clutch from slippin

I don't think they can shut them down, at least according to the indo article. All the guards can do is object to their license renewal (unless the dail quickly changes the law). If no one has anything left to lose then objecting to their license might not be enough of a deterrent.

Since Dublin by laws ban open containers of alcohol, all it would take is a couple of gardai swinging by at random intervals and emptying everyone's 6 euro pint down the drain to kill off any trade.
