Looking out at the weather today and perusing the long term forecast, I think this outdoor dining is dead before it even starts. Open the pubs. Properly.

i would think indoor drinking will just slowly merge with outdoor after about 2 weeks, they have to let people in to use bathrooms ,can see it slowly petering out after a week or two. There will be very few inspections after a few token ones in big famous pubs for the cameras. Pub beside me will be normal service anyway, i dont think it shut at all really.

Happy with that but ffs open indoors soon after

I imagine Marquees will be deemed outside

Before the usual suspects have a pop at me, I prefer indoors as it's easier for the lone drinker instead of been out in the open surrounded by groups of people

Well, there we go. I'm going to enjoy this news before this thread tells me it's actually a bad thing.

No food, no capacity limit, no time limit. Not too bad at all :cool:

There's going to be no "Green Passes" in Ireland, maybe some places will ask to see your vaccination cert to sit at the bar or whatever but sure they can be easily forged...
And with the slow roll-out of the vaccine in Ireland then if a Green pass comes out it's just creating a privileged tier of the few, those lucky enough to have received a jab, which at the moment is basically around 1.5 million people under 50, and those are the ones most likely to frequent bars and restaurants...

Nearly a third of those going to the pub are over 50 per survey below. Health workers have also been vaccinated so a small bonus for them.

Failte Ireland seem to be in no rush releasing the guidelines, only 3 weeks to go
Lets hope there considering all possibilities

If one of the guidelines is that as well as having to sit outside, and the tables have to be 2 meters apart then I can see the majority of pubs choosing to stay closed until Indoor is permitted..

At the moment I'd stay well away from the Pubs, between having to book a table, sit outside and time limits on your table as well it all sounds more like a trip to the dentist than a relaxing pint at the pub....

In Israel green pass holders can drink in a bar.

That might be the case but many owners don't work stick in their pub and most staff are students especially at the weekends, and funnily enough during summer holidays. Honestly the job is hard enough for crap pay without expecting staff to go checking people's papers like some kind of totalitarian regime. Just leave the counter till anyone can sit at it, it can't be far away.

Just tell them to buy a few cans and wait till July.

Afterall, Chief, we're all in this together

Why? A vaccine bonus would be useful. Just because some couldn't doesn't mean that others can't. Bit like saying because I can afford a new Tesla I shouldn't get one because others can't!

I have heard there would be some support for a vaccinated pub opening. Generally 0ver 50's soon (the main pub goers) just show your vaccine pass at the door. Try it even as a pilot (I think it has worked abroad) and would act as an incentive for others to take the vaccine.

Listen Chief. Indoor Pubs will open in July. If the over 50 alco's can't wait until then they can go to hell

That's a very dog in the manger attitude. It would include health workers and others who have been vaccinated. Also more will be added in time. The risks would be minimal so why not?

One of the pubs near me is taking bookings ahead of opening their refurbished beer garden on the 7th.

Bit worried that it'll be the common theme and will be hard to get in somewhere now.

Inevitable, with many traditional publicans unable to open. Effectively funneling people into a handful of beer gardens. Genius logic of our leaders, if all pubs reopened at once there wouldn't be an issue of overcrowding. Inadvertently creating the very thing they are trying to avoid. All this jostling for space, driving demand which a few opportunists will exploit. My publican knows his regulars, he confirmed they receive priority in the beginning. Any canny operators trying to introduce extra charges on pints get named and shamed, in a small town there's no hiding space for that kind of carry on. I've never booked an evening for liquid refreshment, and never will. Strolling in the door on spur of the moment, if that isn't good enough there's another watering hole up the street.

The good old Irish gouge, following their brothers in the hotels. Don’t be surprised to see cover charges soon.

We’re going to have a “post covid” gouge in this country across the board in the hospitality industry until at least 2023. Or longer if they can get away with it.

Tony might have won a few battles over the past year, but he has the lost the war. The abstinence drive fell short, and I'm not the least bit sorry it failed. As well as any lofty social engineering notions of introducing continental-style drinking, "al fresco" my back passage. The traditional pub will rebound, it is deeply embedded in our culture and cannot be eradicated overnight.

Encountered my local publican yesterday, he has ploughed his remaining few bob into jazzing up the interior...a simple canopy suffices for temporary beer garden squeeze. It's all systems go in a few weeks time, and by July it will be a case of "Tony who?". Demand very much there, car parks were hotspots for takeaway pints & chatter over the weekend. Punters are itching to embrace a bit of normality again.

Vradkar as bad too. How they ever thought tapas and a glass of wine would work here was beyond me. They were never going to be able to force it forever.

All those people drinking outside in pub car parks need toilets. Are the pubs providing outdoor toilets?

No they are pissing on streets and in alleyways, it's ridiculous, open the toilets and have a limit allowed in, probably be shut if they did though.

3 lovely pints of Guinness yesterday with splendid sea views. The only disapointing factor is the plastic glass I much prefer the glass glass roll on June21.
Since when did Portobello have a plaza? Now closed for the 1st time. Like wild camping wild drinking is one of lifes simple pleasures.

What's on the 21st of June?
