Pubs opening

Original though from Colm not that I heard 40 others aying the same thing

Colm has put far too much effort into his profile pic.

No offence to this lad with the arcade pub but I was extremely sceptical it would be a winner before covid came along but with covid here he is goosed IMO.

Agree, covid or no covid that place was destined to fail. It’s out of the way too. Who’d be going in there for a pint & play mortal kombat? Students. Them cunts don’t have 2 pennies to rub together

We took the kids over one Sunday afternoon, got a bit of grub, a couple of pints each and had a lash off a few games, it was actually a brilliant family afternoon, completely different from any other pub experience. But I guess that’s an alien concept to many if it was marketed like that,
It needs the students, in that location particularly.
I’d love for them to do well but I have a bad feeling

I can’t understand someone going out for six pints and playing pacman while doing it. Probably a very small pool of people up for that on a regular basis but I confess to not having done the research.

Agreed.

As regards activities outside of the counter & jacks there’s absolutely no need for anything other than a pool table or Darts Board ( space provided ).

Bizarre hipster behaviour

The only games in a pub should involve a deck of cards with a few hams giving out as prizes at Christmas

There’s wan of these in Smithfield - Token. But there’s plenty of apes around to keep the games ticking over

The same apes you’d see in a country pub throwing euro coins into the jackpot machine. Roasters and wokes are the same.

A serious difference in footfall in Smithfield and a house estate in Limerick

Is this where Scott’s used to be? Near Mary I?

I had my dinner in there once upon a time. Proper roaster carvery.

It is indeed. I recall that carvery. Boats of gravy and piles of spuds

To be fair I don’t think their business plan was hoping porter drinkers would tip away at Space Invaders in between pints. Location always struck me as a problem though.

Pubs should get the go ahead to open without restrictions around mid Feb I reckon.

Just in time for Rag week

Is there vaccine pass rules in the O6?

Brought in lately but not many places pay much heed to them.

Would they be looking for them in the social clubs ???
