Once a pint goes over a fiver I tend to stay away. The orchard in Rathfarnham charges 5.20 and the beer is generaly muck. The place is now dying, so well done charley and fook off!
The one thing the place had going for it was that it had the best looking lounge girls in the area. Docherty's has now firmly taken the crown from them on that front. ------------- Bimbos Burgers - "Official Sponsor of the Irish Squad" |

My local just expanded the offo making the boozer smaller in the process- bit of live music-dj- late licence etc and so many boozers could turn around their fortunes imo- plenty of boozers in Dublin 15 but barely any of them have any kind of music regularly and hardly any have late licence ------------- It took City 44 years to win the league and 10 months to lose it |

I ve managed pubs for the last 15 years, when i took my current position i had seven staff on a saturday night now im down to three on most saturday. Obviously pubs cant compete with tescos when you fork out β¬900+ a month on sky, live msic, ppi and imro. Pub near me can sell beamish, carling and fosters at β¬3 a pint, ( i cant a fford to sell it at that price )the pub is leased and recently shut by the gardai for trading withouth a licence due to it not having tax clearence certificate. its now reopen but the pub has not paid rates of 20k a year for the past three years and rekons he will be gone by the time anything is done about it hardly a level playing pitch imo ------------- time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it. |
