Fine Wines have taken over the old Harvest Off License and will be open in 2-3 weeks.

That is all.

If posted already I couldn't find it so delete if applicable

Good news. That's a handy offie.

27-05-2011 5:55pm

Hardly surprising considering the business they did on the big/sunny days

It was a liquidator delay of sorts. I spoke to the Liquidator yesterday and he more or less said as much.

The last bit of wine was being removed by a previous creditor. Shop just needs some new signage, a mop and bucket and some fresh stock.

Great news. I've been moaning over the last few weeks about the lack of a decent off licence in the parish since Harvest went (the Blue Note does try though but it doesn't have the space).

DRakE · 28-05-2011 1:36pm

Hurrah for new offie!!!

Brilliant news!

tumblywumbly · 28-06-2011 9:03pm

Berty · 28-06-2011 9:08pm

No order received from them this week anyway. I'm in Galway Thursday and will suss it out.

Sea Devils · 28-06-2011 9:30pm

Their website says it's opening this Friday.

Shanley · 28-06-2011 9:38pm

@Beer Baron: What kind of order would you be getting by them? They deliver their own stock from their warehouse in Limerick

They are opening Friday 1st July

tumblywumbly · 28-06-2011 9:54pm

Keyser Söze · 29-06-2011 1:06pm

Offie related but not worth it's own thread.

Galway Hooker now available in 500ml Bottles. Had two on the couch last night and they were delicious.

JohnCleary · 30-06-2011 2:23pm

I do the Premier Beers, Ales & Ciders and deliver direct. There is only one product I deliver to the Warehouse in Limerick because they use so much of it.

I was given 16 bottles today. Shame though as I had to give 12 to the boss.

The Blue Note have it anyway.

hamsterboy · 30-06-2011 5:56pm

Available in McCambridges and Lohans in Salthill also.
Though the Blue Note do 4 for a tenner, usually 2.75 a bottle

Shanley · 20-07-2011 11:17pm

Opening tomorrow, going to be a sunny day too I think!

Had a sneaky peak in the last day, its amazing the difference compared to Harvest, would make you wonder what they were at!

Ruben Remus · 26-07-2011 3:19pm

I went by this place a couple of days ago. It still had not opened, despite having posters in the window advertising drink specials.

Anyone know what the story is?

thecountessp · 26-07-2011 5:11pm

I heard that there's are a few outstanding tax issues from Harvest last year to be resolved, then they're good to go.

Shanley · 26-07-2011 6:20pm

They are in court this Thurs to transfer the licence into there name and should be open the same day

Yes there have been many delays. The court being the only one really at the moment. Feckin Liquidator was also on holidays. :eek:

Shanley · 28-07-2011 6:40pm

Opened today according to there Facebook anyways, anyone been down there yet?

Diabhal Beag · 28-07-2011 7:40pm

It was definitely open. Didn't have time to have a look.

Ruben Remus · 29-07-2011 5:48pm

I had a brief look around yesterday.

Firstly and most importantly, it's good to see a new business opening up in a previously vacant premises.

I rarely drink wine and judge an off-licence purely on its selection of quality beers. On that basis I'd give this Fine Wines a B-

On the plus side it has a good selection of Brewdog beers and a few from Brooklyn brewery. It also has a couple of Belgian bottles, a few German weissbiers and the like. Disappointingly I don't recall seeing any Irish craft beers or quality English ales. That said, the place has only just opened so hopefully the selection will grow over the weeks and months to come.

The prices of the good beers were fairly similar to what you'd pay in O'Brien's, Next Door, etc.
