It's Wetherspoons with shoes.

That's actually extremely accurate. I've been to the one in Dublin, shithole. Overpriced an soulless.

Re: the Oak being empty. Myself and Mrs. MOE go in there occasionally for their pizza and pint deal and its always dead. No idea how the place survives. Its always just the same two fellas at the bar drinking Carlsberg. One of them is from Tipperary interestingly enough.

I actually like the Oak though, it's a bit of a Cork institution. Hasn't changed one bit since when I first went there 15 years ago.

crane lane was brilliant, saturday they had the naildrivers and the beat, sunday the service, place was hopping by 6.30pm,
spotted graffiti in the jax ...Drucker is a langer,

The Crane is very impressive but not my kind of place at all. I understand why its so popular though.

Maynes on the other hand is one of the gems of Cork. Can't wait to go in for the Mussels again once I'm back in Ireland

That's about all there is to it. Basically Maccy Ds for alcos.

The name is now up on The Park (formerly Jamsey's), and according to a Rising Son employee it will be open in the next month.

Best of luck to all involved.

Don't they own Cyprus Avenue as well which would make sense why the Oak is still running.

I just made that up, bear with me
