    New cafe/coffee shop open in Bridgend, near enough opposite Dohertys.

    Can't remember the name, and sadly for them I think they'll be short lived. Too pricey, limited menu and right over the road from a well established rival, although Dohertys are more hot food than a Starbucks style coffee shop. To top it off, the week they opened, Dohertys took the massive advertising board on the end wall of the new place with an ad and an arrow pointing over the road!

    Every time I pass it the place is empty and Dohertys is heaving.

    Family rift :D

    One opened a Cafe across the road to spite the other.

    There is another new Cafe opened just a bit further down (next to Devlins) its seems better priced and seem to know what the different types of coffee are as when I went into Doherty's and asked for a latte I got a plain coffee :confused:

    The one further down is well worth a try.

    Really? Crazy!

    Didn't realise that, although it makes the sneaky tactic of advertising on your own rival's wall a bit more understandable.

    I think Dohertys will win the battle though.

    The Bay View Hotel in Killybegs has been sold, word on the street is that it is a local who has bought it. Hopefully it will re-open and create some employment in the area.

    Forgot this one but the Moonshine Coffee Shop is open off the Port Road in one of the lots across from the LYIT. I've not been in yet but the FB pics look pretty good.

    Great news. I love this shop. Not too expensive but relatively good quality. I just wish Zara would come to Letterkenny now, then my shopping excursions would be complete :)

    McGettigans bar opened in the Clanree, I assume it's leased out from the hotel.

    New Chinese beside the Mr. Chippy roundabout, think it is were the golf shop used to be. The County seat moved up to were the Irish Nationwide used to be in Letterkenny, right next door to Watsons!

    Sage opened there after that, but it was closed the last couple of times I went passed it. People seem to think it's a great spot because it's beside the theatre, doesn't seem to turn out that way.

    I think the McGettigan group, who have hotels in Dublin, London and Dubai, now own the Clanree.

    Didn't want to open a new thread, just wondering does the Lime Leaf have a restaurant or just a takeaway?

    There are a few tables inside, fairly basic though. The food is good, however.

    I see that the Milford Inn is to reopen. What is the gossip there? I remember when it was Baxters, back in 1960's.

    A new Chinese restaurant has replaced the Thai restaurant, Sabai on Main St., Donegal town. Can't remember the name of it, though.

    EDIT: it's called Golden Palace.
