    I reckon it's going to be survival of the fittest in the hospitality industry.
    At least the ones in drogheda in general got a good twist out of the fleadh , it might help a few survive.

    Bru is another one that should have reopened at this stage and no sign of it

    A lot of pubs now open too.
    Seem to think they're now gastro-pubs by getting a pizza in or a burger from a chipper .

    Mother Hughes
    Barney Macs
    The Well
    Donaghys

    All flouting the regulations by offering grub and a pint for a tenner .

    Same in Ardee. A few offering takeaways from next door as the required meal.

    At least 3 pubs in Drogheda are offering this :

    Sausage & Chips
    Burger & Chips
    Chicken & Chips

    Any of the above with a pint for a tenner.

    Considering the meal element has to cost at least €9 that means the pint is a euro .

    Might as well open them all up to spread the load. No point packing them into a handful of pubs.

    Either that or close them all again.

    I’d say the cost of the “meal” to the pub is less than €2.

    A legal minefield I'd say .

    What happens if someone is struck with food poisoning ?

    No kitchen , no cooking or food refrigeration/storage facilities .

    Can't just decide one day that your now a Pizzeria and not a pub !!

    And the VFI will be going mad when the opening of other pubs is put back again

    Pubs won't be reopening before schools imo. That will be the priority for the next two months.

    Honestly, I'd be surprised if they reopen properly before Xmas, if not before a vaccine is found.

    I’m nearly certain it doesn’t open on a Monday. I’ll stick my head in tomorrow and check for sure. IIRC, the Brown Hound didn’t open on Mondays either.

    Passed this place this morning, there seems to be quite a lot of work to be done.
    The photograph of the inside of the restaurant, in the link, must have been taken, when it was The Eastern Seaboard.

    The burger at no3 in Collon was 17e, 18e for the veggie one. Its not cheap but I wouldnt say the prices are wild either. Assuming the food is quality

    I like no3 but they are overpriced. 8oz fillet there is 33 and I see in Bryanstown its 28.

    The €12 wings in Bryanstown would raise my eyebrows more.

    €12 for a wings starter???

    I'm reminded of this!!

    Menu looks really good. Nice variety, pricey but not too pricey if the food matches the expectations the place is obviously laying out.

    I think a decent place is charging €12-14 for a burger as a main course nowadays. €18 for a wagyu probably shows the level they're aiming for.

    I've had breakfast there several times - no complaints from me! As well as set breakfasts, there's a "create your own" option where you can order what you want.

    Their full breakfast costs 10 euro and is served on a metal plate, similar to those you'd see in prison canteens!

    I haven't tried lunch yet
