    Anyone have any more news on the Galway bay pub? All gone a bit quiet. Nowt on beoir either. I want my pint of foam and fury!!!!

    I've seen Early September floated as the date for the GBB pub opening. It's now um, early September and I'd have expected some announcements at this stage for the purposes of advance publicity (i.e. me camping out to have the first Of Foam And Fury in the joint). They were running a competition to allow FB users pick a name for the pub and there hasn't been any feedback from that yet either. I wish they'd start naming locations at this stage and getting us all riled up for the onslaught!

    I've never been in any of the pubs from this chain, are they really worth getting this excited about?

    Spot on!! Yes it is worth getting excited about!! Finally a proper brew pub in limerick, we've had half assed versions of them for too long.

    Maybe some movement on this, crafty Fox are advertising for staff on their facebook page. Strange tho if it was GBB I would imagine they would set up a new page rather than advertise on one that has numerous bands complaining about not getting paid for a gig in the venue.

    Was talking with one of the barmen in the Salthouse in Galway at the weekend, said they (GBB) were taking over the Crafty Fox, wouldn't give me anything regarding a timeline though

    Sorry guys, only seeing this now and I have to apologise for my previous post about the Crafty Fox being taken over. I've been told that this venture isn't going ahead (not in the immediate future at least).

    Sorry to get your hopes up! :o

    Hope they have pastéis de nata. (Portuguese custard tarts).
    Insomnia didn't seem to bring them with them to Limerick but maybe Butlers will...

    Ah ball! So I know the Crafty Fox isn't been taken over. TBH it never looked like it seeing as they've been tyring to drum up business themselves the past while. So is GBB moving here dead in the water for now or just that it won't be the Crafty Fox? Seems a bit mad after they announced the move?

    Former A-wear is already branded as Schuh and being refitted currently.
    If it is going to be in the crescent, it could be the vacant Barrats unit in the centre square maybe?

    Schuh are taking a chance with that spot. It seems to me that the majority of their business is in trainers and JD sports (right next door) seem to have a far better selection.

    Like I said in a previous post, I'm getting information from housemates who work in the company here in Galway so I can't be considered as a definitive source.. Just take it as dead in the water for now.

    Personally, I think the Crafty Fox was a poor location anyway, wrong side of Cruises St for it to be a success.

    I'm amazed this bypassed me, never heard of GM setting up any operations in Limerick at all.

    Out by UL you say, I assume Plassey, any idea which building?

    Wasn't living here when The Bank was open but it looks good. Nice and big, fairly bright and not the worst location. Bourkes looks ideal! Hopefully 2015 will bring some proper Draught Craft to Limerick.

    I spoke to someone who got a job there and I'm fairly sure he said they were taking over a floor of the old Limerick County Council Bldg at the Crescent Shopping Centre

    The bubble tea shop on Patrick St, opposite the Hunt museum and where Cafe Solo used to be, was open yesterday (they sell coffee too, I checked!). They also serve food, didn't eat there yesterday though so can't comment.

    It was still showing up as The Crafty Fox for me last night. It looks like the let an employee setup their Business Page as a personal page, and that employee has since jumped ship and taken the Facebook with him/her.
