Pubs reopening June 29th

Or as Benny previously said here it could be something to do with the way the glasses are being cleaned. Not sure they do food in the Hyde Out and have problems with fats, but maybe something as simple as changing whatever cleaning agent in the glass washer might have a positive effect.

No they don't do food, but they have an excellent deal with nearby Novecento Pizza.

You can get any pizza and a pint for €20. Given that some of the pizzas are €17.50, that's a very good deal.

Available Sunday to Thursday from 4pm til close. Just order at the bar and take a seat, and your pizza will be delivered directly to your table along with some complementary napkins.

I’ve a theory on the ph value of north side and south side water as well in the cleaning process

If he does half as good a job on The Gateway as he did on The Southern Star it'll be a very good bar imho. Think it's got great potential (now that the all pervading smell that blighted it years ago is gone) and I hope it reverts to its old name - as it's the oldest bar in the city and one of the oldest in the country.

It'll be a very different operation I'd imagine. Both the Salmon and the Star benefit from being located in affluent areas, where as Barrack Street is essentially a student infested working class slum

I think the guy knows how to run a decent pub properly. He'll change things that need to be changed and hold his nerve while the potential customers might take time to see the benefit. I'll be surprised if he doesn't make a good fist of it tbh.

The Southern Star job was absolutely half arsed. Spoilt a lovely old bar and didn't even finish the job.

It'll be interesting to see if he leaves the prices as they were, or will he bring them down.

Methinks they'll be the same if not higher

It has a feel of a place half-done and not there for the long haul. It still needs investment but I can see why they have not risked it in the current climate.

The Salmon and Star offer a decent option for people from the affluent areas to go out for a few drinks in nice local pubs and are not too bothered about going to the city centre and who also want to avoid the nightmare of Douglas.
