Yeah but that’s outdoors isn’t it ? I mean yes the places can open but **** it not every place has that luxury.

Less than 30% of Pubs can offer outdoors drinking, 20% of restaurants outdoors also... still leaves a lot of businesses that will remain closed up for at least the next 8 weeks....

Will also mean the #Staycationers may find themselves with very few places to drink and dine as any premises that are open will be booked out... So will be cans from the local spar and back to your B&B...

Would the bar in the hotel will be succinct ?

That’s my point. Yes pub can open but logistically you’d want to have the outdoor space to open and being that I live on the north side of cork city, most pubs are on main roads or in built up areas where space isn’t a luxury.

Depends on the town I guess, not all hotels will have a licenced Bar so you'd have to go out anyways... And sure most Hotel bars aren't places I'd like to go to every day of my holiday...

Yea was a Pub Landlord from Cork on the "Tonight Show" who was saying they can't open the Pub with a few chairs out on the small footpath...

I wonder did these sort of establishments enter the midjs of the decision makers or simply ignored

Good one, snow in Ireland during the summer wouldn't be completely impossible!

Richard Hillman · 30-04-2021 12:36PM

Very few pubs would have beer gardens that are viable for the obvious reason that we live in a kip of a country in terms of weather.

Its like owning convertible car in Ireland. You'll get a handful of great days to fully exploit it.

Yeah and then trying to get in somewhere

Opening times tbc and I can't see them going back to normal just yet. Last orders 10.30-11pm most likely

Pintman Paddy Losty · 30-04-2021 01:37PM

Can't see the indoor 'wet' pub opening til after the summer if I'm honest. The theme is going to be outdoors for a long while.

DessieJames · 30-04-2021 02:12PM

This summer will mostly be spent in N.Ireland , pubs and shops up the North will be absolutely booming this summer with the influx of people from down here going up to enjoy life instead of waiting and wishing your life away here ,already got 3 trips planned in the next 6/7 weeks.:cool:

Everyone will head up North, the the thoughts of scrambling to book beer gardens only for it to rain doesnt appeal!!
and please stop calling pubs "wet pubs" worst name ever after "staycation"

mightyreds · 30-04-2021 02:29PM

Cant see pubs opening at all till its too late any spike in cases there will be panic, as said I'm not spending 900 euro for a few days in Kerry or whatever to gamble on weather.

I'll spend it up north and enjoy outdoor drinks if its sunny but will also like the option of indoor if the weather is bad.

Sure about that? 200 quid room/train before you get a sniff of an indoor pint? Not for me or the majority of people I know.

Ah i'll go for an outdoor pint or meal if i'm heading away for 1 night or into the nearest town but I wouldn't be looking to staycation down south.
I'm exactly the type they were trying to entice to spend local I've saved a fortune WFH for 13 months now.

I'm not going to spend it on a staycation here and gamble on weather i'd rather spend it and have a choice up north.

If I was heading into Dublin to do some shopping I'll eat outdoors but to be honest it was extremely difficult last year to do this with limited space.

But your right i wouldn't head north just for a pint inside I'd rather just stay home with a few bottles.

Depends what way you look at it.

I myself am heading up North in June. Not for indoor pints, but to get away as I haven't been out of here in over two years. Indoor pints are just a bonus (I'd be drinking anyways regardless)
Plenty of people in that mindset too.
There is also a minority who will just purely go for a piss up

Again, depends on one's perspective

Can do it a hell of a lot cheaper than that to be fair!

Completely agree, if gigs or live theatre kick off up there, I'll be the first in the queue for the enterprise, but tbh the idea of a planned drinking weekend really does nothing for me anymore.

I look forward to a few pints in a local with a few vaccinated others soon. Outside is grand and a bit of rain won't bother me.

Outdoor Pubs reopening on a bank holiday Monday is a little odd and i do wonder did they forget that particular Monday was a bank holiday ??

Roll on June, May is going to be a long month

Fair enough! We are staying in a mix of hotels, pods and if we can't find accomodation on Rathlin we're bringing the tent this summer:D

I don't think there's any doubt at all that Holohan is already desperately trying to sow the seeds of postponing pub opening out. Any spike in cases and he'll be ready with the concernometer clicking up to 11.

Imagine booking a hotel that doesn't have a bar? Not me anyway.
