It will be approx. 10,000 square feet if that narrows it down.

Confirmation that it'll be in a new two-storey building next to Capital Dock, down at the very far end of John Rogerson's Quay. "Three Locks Square" is the address, but I don't think it exists yet.

I can see it from my desk but due to the delay to the new pedestrian bridges it's actually a very long walk away!

Down by State Street? That seems a bit out of the way.

If you look at the unit layout on the Daft ad, "Three Locks Square" is the name of the square rather than being "3, Locks Square" as I first interpreted it

Think all the buildings are built. I would assume they are taking the Quarterdeck building.

edit: definitely the Quarterdeck building, as there's planning in for "an in house micro-brewing facility (c. 50 sqm)" for it.

Not if you're one of the thousands of people who live and work in the area.

literally 10's of thousands people with facebook/google/airbnb salaries live and work there. Youngish people with huge salaries, exactly the clientele a brew dog bar attracts.

Yeah I get that but it's a bit of a distance for anyone drinking in the city centre. Least there is a Dublin Bike's stand nearby.

You just need to expand your definition of "city centre"

It's just that it's not on the way to anywhere else.

hetuzozaho · 15-03-2019 1:01pm

Hopefully they just send a few of the tasty kegs up to Underdog. Save me the trip down!

It'll do me grand on the way to Lansdowne Road but yeah, it's not on the way to anywhere and there's nothing really on the way there either.

*checks age* - if you stretch the "ish" of "youngish", that works
*checks salary* - falls down there

Ah yes, I work on the other side of the river

Brewdog's new landlords submitted a planning application for an "in-house micro-brewing facility" for their new digs in the Silicon docks.
Looks like they're going whole hog and making it one of their brewpubs.

Sub standard boring pale ales for all!

No harm in the scheme of things. Even the current iteration of punk is better than than the swill available everywhere else.

The current version of punk is what happens when accountants redesign a good beer to make it more "market friendly" and profitable.

"you know how this beer uses quite a lot of expensive hops? Maybe you could try, like, not doing that? Great talk guys!".

I'm not disagreeing. I'm just saying that it's still better than having the same old junk

According to their DIY Dog that they publish on their website https://www.brewdog.com/beers/diy-dog there’s a lot more hops in the new version compared to the old one - no idea how accurate this is but that’s what they claim anyway.

That's also an old version.

The newest version has been dumbed down a lot.

Fair enough I haven’t had it in a while so might need to try it again, generally not the biggest fan of their recent hoppy beers that I’ve tried but think they make some decent stouts. Will be interesting to see the bar anyway.

n97 mini · 24-03-2019 11:33pm

Iirc they cut the ABV on several beers, rather than the hops. More ABV=more excise duty. Hops if anything have gotten cheaper in recent years.

I just thought my tastes had changed, and I just didn't like it as much anymore.

On the subject of planning permission for change of use from a cafe to a pub. I actually spotted the sign last Thursday while walking down by that new building. It's quite an odd area. They've just installed grass turf, and it's in a lovely location right beside the river, but it just seems really fake and manufactured to me.

I guess the whole city was manufactured at some stage

RasTa · 25-03-2019 8:34pm

Punk hasn't changed that much but other beers have. Although luploid by Beavertown is a mess atm, no idea what they have done to it.

Nah, the city kind of grew organically. Places like silicon docks just don't really have any soul. Plenty of nice architecture, but still soulless.

Had a wander around the building planned for BrewDog earlier. At least there's a bit of space around it.

Ha we are getting pretty subjective now. There'd be plenty of "soulless organic" parts of the city imo

Anyway roll on another stop to my dublin brewery tour! Its getting there! I'll actually take more of these manufactured city centre ones to save the industrial estate trips.

Technocentral · 26-03-2019 3:36pm

When's it opening?

BeerNut · 26-03-2019 5:36pm

Last year they said June 2019 and I don't think there's been an update since.

The building is ready for tenants now. So however long it takes them to change the planning permission and then fit it out as they need.

Subcomandante Marcos · 26-03-2019 7:01pm

End of the summer if they' lucky tbh. They need to get the brewing licence too.

L1011 · 26-03-2019 7:23pm

Doubt it would kill them to open without the brewery - been some recent new build pubs take months to get their publicans licence transferred though

Money to be made on summer evenings there is insane

BeerNut · 28-03-2019 4:04pm

Looks nice, though that's at least partly attributable to the weather.

Cool building in fairness. Will definitely be a great spot on a nice sunny day.

bennyineire · 28-03-2019 4:41pm

I actually think this is in a great location, at least for us country pumpkins when we go to any gigs in the point or any matchs/gigs in the Aviva

BeerNut · 28-03-2019 4:48pm

Plenty of tractor parking round the side too.

Technocentral · 31-03-2019 4:45pm

Whats the story with Punk, dont see much of it around anymore tap or in shops?

BeerNut · 31-03-2019 5:01pm

It's on tap in every Wetherspoon, next to the Budweiser, Coors Light, Carlsberg and Heineken.

Every Tesco and O'Briens has punk.

The bridge to/from the Point is currently an awkward long way around; there are plans for more though.

Hotblack Desiato · 31-03-2019 8:54pm

Dunnes has Punk, Elvis Juice and Dead Pony Club.

Plus Aldi now and Dunnes stores and basically every off license.

So it's basically more available now that ever before :pac::pac:

One has to wonder where you can't find it, the Aran Islands

Aldi has dropped it, along with all the other 33cl beers. Whatever's in shops now is the last of the Aldi Punks.

One of the planning apps is open for observations until the 11th of April still

Planning has been granted for the change of use to a pub, though the terrace must close at 10pm. The application for the brewery still has a few weeks to go.

There's a new one in Brussels right opposite Gare Central. Its v nice with a great big balcony. Provided a welcome change of pace for a few hours but given whats available in Brussels anyway it'll be interesting to see will they last!?

Yep. I like brewdog, but going to a Brewdog bar in Brussels is second only in criminality to going to an Irish bar
