As in the Willow…

So the pub business isn't dead or is it that Mr Montgomery has a particular winning formula?

Bishopstown / Wilton area needs something like this. The Wilton was all the rage in the mid-90s but now it is very dated. I'm looking forward to the revamp, hopefully the locals support it as well!

If Monty doesn’t made a great go of the Wilton then it’s time to close the gates on the whole social scene.

It's got fantastic potential and loads of parking near which is the issue with most eateries

So many mediocre pubs out there go bang, good product no matter what the business will sell..

Wouldn’t be too impressed with the grub in the new Clancys…Wilton does fantastic food but place needs an overhaul. People of Wilton will have to make do with an overhaul and shite grub…

Mr Montgomery is Cork's premier publican, so I'm confident it'll work for him.

Only joking Benny. You're the best.

In fairness, the food can only improve.

People with half a brain cell wouldn't eat the shite that's served up in there.

We gave up going there. Fair auld slop the last 4-5 times we went there. Used to be a go to spot anytime up round Wilton or the hospital

I think I've eaten there twice in the last decade, as it descended into slop/stodge. The Bishopstown Bar or Flannerys wasn't any better. Gallo & Galetti was an island of quality until they started fucking with the menu.

Patrick Peters untimely death didn't help the Wilton Bar and I guess the Peters family just decided to sweat the asset, because they could ... where else could you go ?

Actually the Wilton Willow next door isn't bad but they really changed to more a takeaway/deliver during Covid, although they have a few tables back now.

Wilton/Bishopstown could really do with some decent restaurants.
