    not sure this forum is still active but i'll give it a go anyway...

    Today I walked through the new Phibsboro Friday food market near the basin and was surprised to see most stalls disappeared with only 3/4 sellers left trading... such a pity as it did start well and the footfall seemed ok

    Yeah I was there today again, it's sad there were so few, I wonder why? I love the vegan cake place but wasn't there today.

    Yeah same walked through today. Have only been there at lunch times so couldn't say whether they were getting enough business by being there . Being festival season may its more lucrative to go where the crowd is?

    Monck’s Green closing down today. Real pity although I much preferred the “pre-gentrified” old Woodstock version

    Used to get a meal there before a match nearly always had the beef which was lovely .A lot of elderly folk would eat there when it was the Woodstock. When it changed over I never made it in as it seemed to close early and I presume it changed quite a bit .There seemed to be a demand for a basic enough menu well cooked pity its gone .

    Most certainly not a dodgy area. Good breakfast places and pubs. Trip to the botanic Gardens is always a winner.

    Does any1 know what’s going on the canal beside the Bernard show, why is it closed with no access on both sides?

    They are widening it and putting in a cycle lane. Won't be open again until early next year.

    there seem to be some work going in the former Taylor and Blue coffee shop, hopefully the place gets a new life and it doesn’t become another of the (too many) vacant spaces around here…

    They used to do that before but have a restaurant now? Gursha it was.

    has anyone tried the Indian cuisine in the Bohemian pub yet? Any good? I thought they just did pub food. Great to see the place so full of various initiatives anyway…

    Haven’t been there but looks like they are following in the footsteps of Taza in Artane. That was a pub that added a restaurant that became a restaurant with a bit of a pub. Good luck to them! 😋

    hopefully it remains predominantly a pub but it’s a big and nice venue so they could pull it off with different things

    Looks like two new cafes are going to open on the NCR: 3FE and The Hudson Rooms.

    Hudson rooms has gone in the corner of Berkely road where Legit Coffee was . That will be about the 4th business in the last few years trying to make that space work . The lack of parking seems to doom everyone in there

    Yep. 3fe is beside Doyle's Corner in the space that was a Mexican restaurant for 5 minutes and a solicitor's office previous to that. It looks like it's open now too.


    The Hudson Rooms is where Taylor and Blue/Legit Coffee used to be. i agree with the above: it's a tricky enough spot to make work. I'd never wander down that far, really.

    Yeah it's just not very visible to me, with the other two cafes before it, next to spar.

    Does this 3fe do food?

    surely no shortage of coffee places now!

    Tesco off-licence moving a couple of doors up but there’s also ongoing work in other units at shopping center as well as former Woodstock/MG. I heard another pizza place may come too but not sure where exactly

    I heard that a Bunsen was opening in Woodstock. There's certainly something going in there as they've been working on it for a while but not sure I believe my Bunsen sources!


    Not sure if 3fe does food. It does have seating but this is all based on driving by; I haven't had a chance to drop in yet.

    yes they do food as well , some competition for 2BB as I guess it’ll attract similar crowds

    seems like the Bunsen rumour has been around a lot, unless it’s coming from the same source! 😂

    not 100% sure but i think tesco off license is moving into former EuroPalace… we’ll see if they improve their stock as beer wise at the moment even Spar is better than them !

    Bunsen opening in Phibsboro would be an unofficial statement that it is indeed the Rathmines of the Northside. 😁

    I hope that rumour is true! 🍔 😋

    2 Boys Brew is stupidly expensive. Queued out the door though. 3fe is cheaper for food.

    noticed in the weekend that basically all empty units in the shopping center are getting works done with a bit of overall maintenance too, I wonder if the developer is behind this or what’s the story
