Pubs reopening June 29th

Barry's are shocking for that.

Barrys feels like the lobby of a regional 4 star hotel or an airport bar that has made some very bad interior design choices during the Celtic tiger era and with many waiting staff constantly running around either serving food,taking orders or tidying up after food etc.

You cannot relax there for a second.

Some of the types in there are absolute pests too. Going on loudly about their yachts and holiday houses to anyone that'll listen.

I've not been there in ages. In fact I met one of their barman a while back and he said he can't afford to drink on Barry's, their prices have gone through the roof.

Have any of ye ever encountered a guy called Ebenezer Jones in the pubs in Douglas? He was drinking in Driscolls last I heard

That's fucking magical

He's some character. He was "playing" in some pub one night and he asked Mick the Butch Murphy to look after his keyboard while be went to the jacks.

When he was in the jacks the keyboard started playing itself and he rushed back out and went to Mick "I told you to watch it!"

"I did, but I didn't expect the fucking thing to start playing itself"

Any idea what happened to James who was managing Barbarella just before it was taken over?

He was really giving it a shot with his cocktails and beer ideas - Thursdays were good fun in there. One of the regulars said that he couldn't deal with the new "owners" or whatver the place so he left before the change.

He got a job with some American company making videos for them after they saw how well he was doing the ones for Barbarella's. Working from home too which suited him down to the ground.

He also has a good side hustle with his brother who works in Barbarossa.

He also moved house. Used to see him in the local Centra at times and chat, but Triona told us he's after moving out to the sticks somewhere now.

Apparently yer man who owns the Southern Salmon is taking Barbarella

Where is the southern salmon? Never heard of it..

As it happens I have one full time post in a renowned racing pub ,I’ll fill it this week ,ask her to contact if she wants ,
On the staff situation what a great time to be a teenager ,living at home earning 300 e plus tips a week for partime work ,the amount of people looking for weekend shifts far outweighs available positions ,
15 e an hour January 2024 ,I don’t think this is what the LPC envisaged overall -middle class teens earning beer money while living at home as opposed to actual working families,
This was best sorted through taxation rather that supplementing the better off homes but of course what would I know .im the meantime a post covid issue solved ,ive been saying this for a number of years ,now its gone to pass but hats off to the youngsters coming through .

Sady I have no contact for Triona... Not sure if anyone else on here has.

We popped in there about 2 weeks ago early on a Sunday afternoon.

We like it in there to be fair. Always have.
