I remember the last owner, kinda heavy chap. I had been to a few functions there but it always looked like they struggled to get people in there and they did. Was often there with some friends and we were the only ones there basically. Last owner closed up last year I think and new crowd took over.
Lets just say the lads in there very pretty lax at times regarding the regulations at the time during last years brief openings (€9 meal times)
I agree with you about the place pre covid, sometimes it was pretty soulless and boring
What's made City Arms quite the place? I was in there pre covid and it was pretty soulless. Seemed to be just a spot for carvery not a few pints.
City Arms reopened fairly recently (its was quite the place last year) and the Gingerman is open a few days a week. With indoor reopening it does seem easier to get into places but still a lot of places only serving outdoor
Depends on the time of day/night really, weekends were a nightmare the last few weeks
What's the pub scene like now in the city? Most places now open? Is it easy enough to find a place for a few beers?
As far as I know The Three Ships is the rugby pub in town. I could be wrong on this. The cove and the uluru are proper rugby pubs but they are outside the city centre.
I attempted to go the The Woodman for the Euros final and didnt happen (queue outside and then the aul two or three lads five mates join the queue and said enough of that)
Ended up in Sinnotts smoking area (before indoor was open) and was a good mixed crowd with fast and friendly staff
Heading down to your fine city this weekend, staying in Dooleys.
Any recommendations for somewhere to watch the Rugby? Best places to swig pints in general?
Thanks....
And they brought back that ignorant barman too, who was in the Bull and Green, cant believe that! They had their chance to change the guard and they pick the worst person possible to deal with the public. Anyone who goes there will know who im talking about. They lost my business anyway.
Tierneys formally Kervicks/bull and Green is a decent setup and the outdoor area is good
Saw on FB the Exchange reopening on the 26th July but the government aren't making a decision on indoor hospitality til Wednesday this week.
