    The burnaby are guilty of this as well - they turn the TVs on for a match and then leave them on for the rest of the night showing japanese golf or whatever other crap is on that nobody watches.
    The manager is a golf fan I believe. Was watching a match a few weeks ago (Madrid against some other Spanish team) and it the channel was flicked over to some obscure golf tournament. No consultation with any of us customers :eek:

    Sounds cool..

    Greystones needs a homely pub - since the original Burnaby motif was let slip a few years before the rebuild (and became a kids pub at the time), there hasn't been a homely pub in the town where you can sit, talk (and be heard), have a nice pint and not have to worry about some trouble kicking off because someone accidentally makes eye contact with some eejit.

    The Beach House went young and a bit rough; Dans, just too damn busy (not surprising really!) .. Burnaby - no soul and very *cold* service from the most senior staff - although it must be said the lounge staff and most of the bar staff try their very best in spite of the circumstances.

    Greatly needed.

    Well as I said its your local and no matter what I want to do with it, it's only going to work if I know what you all want, so please don't be affraid to suggest anything, within reason !!! And yea Christmas drink Jolliegood, long as you buy me one. The other 2 pubs are good and very well run, just not to everybodies liking, it depend what you are looking for, but i agree a local pub should be just that and not a rock venue or kids club

    I can assure you that I don't know of anybody who would agree with that about the Beach House.

    Wish you the best of luck. And, no probs, will buy you a pint !

    Thanks all, considering a pino in the restaurant for Sunday lunch ect any know of a player ????? We are currently running a fine dining restaurant in Wicklow Town, The Bakery, so we will try keep the same level of food, all be it a cheaper, and we will have 8 wines by the glass, from 4.50 up no screwtop 250ml Hammiepeters will be happy to hear. Any suggestions on menu, etc very welcome, after all it's your local guys !!!!!

    I have been in your wicklow operation and found it great. Looking forward to your opening. I can confirm that your location is within the walking range of us "old" greystonians. Back in the Middle Ages when this town had a range of pubs there was one even further south than script in which many of us started our drinking careers.

    Not sure about this absence of screw caps. My misus tends to fall behind a bit when the tempo rises and sometimes ends up bringing some home. Carrying full glasses of wine home in her handbag could be a bit tricky.

    Best of luck

    The main reason for no screw cap is so we can serve quality wines, but I'm sure we can look after her on her way home. Thanks for the support, since you've been in The Bakery you have an idea of the food and service, hope we can step it up a bit in Greystones. Thanks Eoin for merging it with the east one, hope we can pull you out of Bray for a bite to eat and a beer.

    No worries, saves you saying the same stuff in both threads! Good luck with the new place, sounds like it will be a good spot.

    ah the return of the Woodlands name - good thinking.

    One other suggestion - run a bus to and from Charlesland\Eden Gate - lots of potential drinkers there. The Burnaby and Beach House run a bus home on Friday and Saturday evenings and it is fairly well used (and mostly by Charleslandians). Its a long, exposed walk up the road when you've had a few pints.

    I'll second that. I think it took about 50 minutes the last time I went drinking in the Burnaby.

    Avantarklu has photographic evidence of the trek (and if he's knows what's good for him, he'll keep schtum).

    I for one will be glad to see the back of the vomit inspired interior. The positioning of the bar was intriguing to say the least, but with the place being full of Bennigans' refugees, I didn't go there often enough for it to grow on me.

    Sorry JanneG, however if you do support West Ham you'll need drink so I'll make an exception for you. We will be showing sport but only if there is an interest from the customers, I won't have it on for the sake of having it on. Bus is not a bad idea I'll look into it for you. anyone an opinion on the Piano Sunday Lunch????

    I was thinking about it and, from a Publican's point of view, having a piano taking up vaulable seating/standing space for the other 6 days might seem a bit of a waste. On the other hand, if you just have some guy set up a keyboard in a corner it just seems a bit tacky and artificial.

    Have you considered maybe a guitar/sax duo. The Dome in Stephen's Green Shopping Center used to have a couple of guys play every Saturday afternoon and they were pretty good and it also made for a nice atmosphere.

    any type of background music, just don't want big bands, once every now and then but not every week. As I said any suggestions, guitar and sax not bad. As far as a piano taking up space its only 6 seats and the place is big enough for it, hey may use it every night not just Sunday lunch. Matt there deffo will be 6 nations, I would'nt miss it. Even if we are going to field a pack of new bloods and over played bodies. Suppose we have to start to rebuild a team from somewhere !!!!

    Diva has a piano player, he is quite loud and it's difficult to hear anyone speak over the course of a meal. Need to be careful that doesn't happen in your pub.

    The idea is to have one playing on the ground floor at the back area, make it a more loungeee area, somewhere to have a drink without actually feeling like a pub, and keep the main bar as just that. So it wont intrude with dinner. Personnaly if i'm with the lads I like to have a few beers and laugh, and with my wife its more relaxed and we like a bit of background music. Alot of people like a drink after dinner but don't want to go into a busy bar.

    Make yourself known and I'll buy you one :) I'm in the process of designing a web site which will have a suggestion and comment section and also a list of what sport is on this week and what we will be showing, if we miss something I'm sure you'll let me know:rolleyes:

    NOOOO PLEASE, not Jazz!!! That's one of the reasons why I first stopped going to Script, that blooming jazz that would blow your ears off on a Sunday afternoon. A matter of opinion, I know, but a piano sounds like a much better option to me! ;)
