Pubs reopening June 29th

I'm in the Mutton with Fraulein MoE after a meal in town.

Probably around 20 people here, I'd imagine it's good for a Monday night.

It's changed though. It's changed massively, and I'm glad this isn't my local anymore..

No more candles shoved into old Jameson bottles. Lots of tourists. Rubbish music. Expensive pints. No familiar faces. It's the definition of a tourist trap.

I'm sure it does very well, but it's not for me or us anymore.

Primemutton’s latest video really is an absolute cracker, has to be my favourite video of his of all time. The variety of stouts in it is top notch.

It's excellent alright. I had two pints of Clockwork stout on Wednesday, it's better than any other stout available in Ireland in my opinion.

I'm just old and can't stomach town anymore. It's a fine pub and will always do well, but I've moved on from the Mutton and prefer the likes of Cantys and Maynes now. I was in Maynes til close on Wednesday night.

Poor girl behind the bar was on crutches though, I felt like an awful prick asking her to come down to the end of the bar with pints for me

I was in the Sin E yesterday and the Guinness was actually very bad.
Moved over to Dan Lowreys and it was better
Then I decided to go to those pubs on Shandon that I always wanted to visit.
The Homer and the Shandon Arms were very good. Nice pint and in the Homer the pint of Guinness was a fiver even. Was 5.30 in the Shandon. Both nice pints and both places were full of decent friendly working class people.
However Eugenes was diabolical. Very unfriendly one behind the bar, and the place was full of young norries. And let me tell you, the mullet seems to back in fashion for working class youth. Place was full of dudes with mullets. And the Norrie old dolls were singing pop songs in there, even though there was no karaoke in there. Just singing away. Hightailed it out of there and went to the Fran Well. By the way, I always wanted to have a drink in Maureen's, but you have to ring the video doorbell and if they don't like the look of you they won't leave you in.
I said, fuck that, and left. That's like one of weird gay bars in New York in the 80s. You had a guy behind the door looking out and seeing if you're ok to come in.

Crutches behind the bar?

Crutches behind the bar?

Yes. Very friendly girl, she was doing her best but it looked a bit awkward

I'd say she just wanted to work, I'd be the same

Would she kit off and get a game?

Eugenes normally a good call,re sin e not much draw on guinness ,I’d say terminal decline ,midaza and beamish neck and neck ,Murphy’s a bit behind and guinness where beamish used to be in in 1990
