Pubs are much more expensive now.For someone on a tenner an hour before tax giving away a days wages to go on the piss isn't value for money when their rent is so high. The pubs wanna sell pub food for restaurant prices...and craft beer another gimmick to charge €6.50 a pint to sophisticated pallets.Mebollix.

Weatherspoons on Abbey street can charge €3.80 a pint and still keep their doors open.I see they bought the bar beside the taxi rank on Hanover quay near the Marker hotel.Nothing wrong with their business model.
Wetherspoon’s will take off here eventually. Like Aldi and Lidl did, it took time and people being snobby towards it. I’ve had their breakfast and I didn’t like it but I’ve not tried their beers yet.
Do they still have one in Dun snobby kip on south side that the ferry used to go to?

Yeah....the 40ft and the old Tonic boozer in Blackrock....good enough for dem!!

Ya see, we live 7 minutes from the dart station so 7 minute walk, 30 minutes to Dun Kip, few cheap dr8nks and then back on the dart. Wouldn’t use those taxi drivers, they are only scum.  ;D

Most of the youngsters won't walk 7 minutes to their local these days... taxis everywhere.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Dunno. i was a fan but they're serving travellers in Swords now so, as they say on Dragon's Den, I'm out! Trouble is English folk are very literal so assuming all their managers are English they'll all serve travellers because that's the law. Maybe after one or two of their pubs are smashed to smithereens they'll take a leaf out of Tesco's book, withdraw and come back as Wetherspoons Ireland with Irish branch managers.

Wouldn't take an app job from any pub. If you want to drive drunks drive by and have a look at what you're picking up. There's no need to buy that sorta work in the current economic climate.
