    There was a pub there before for many years. Sunny bank and then the pickled pig. Not sure of the location now though. I think anywhere they go will be successful given the prices.

    I'd be very happy to see more choice this side of the Dargle. Closing of Bridge Cafe is a pity.

    :eek: What? Already- it's barely opened. :confused: And the Three beans is gone. Whatever did happen there-given that Finbees on the seafront is still trading as Finbees...

    Yes, the three beans on the main street is gone a few weeks now. On FB they said the Burritos place (was Three Beans) was open 6 weeks.

    Banditos was always quite since the day they opened, I never got to try them but they should have had more business if the burritos were any way decent, nice decor but always empty. Prices were a bit high but not crazy. They should have had a breakfast burrito on the menu though. Wonder what happened?

    There were two 'Three Beans' on the Main Street so I assume the one further up (Original Finbees) is still there?

    Well I would say the lack of seats is one issue. I couldn't imagine myself going in there and no where proper to sit. I would go somewhere else with proper tables.

    Also a breakfast burrito? With Sausages, bacon and egg etc? Very Mexican that, I wonder why they didn't do it?

    OK, Surprised at that.

    I really wonder what happened with this. 3 x Finnbee's shops seemed to be doing well and then split!

    You should see some of the other stuff, and the quantity of it, that they eat for breakfast over there. I think I could survive for a whole day on an average American breakfast.

    Yes, I have been there and seen it. Would not be a big fan of some of their breakfasts.

    There's a planning application in for it, certainly.

    http://www.eplanning.ie/WicklowCC/AppFileRefDetails/16487/0

    Decision to be made by 30th June.

    Traffic management will be a huge issue there. It's bad enough as it is with backups up to the traffic lights with Killarney Rd. caused by that mess of a traffic light 'system' outside the Boghall Rd. shopping centre. Add another entrance into a Lidl even closer to the lights, and all hell will break loose.

    Oh crap, my bad I was thinking of the vevy Road area. Can't remember the name of the business that was there, sure it had to do with computers. Sorry. Didn't look at the planning

    Obviously there would need to be entrances from both the Killarney Road and the Boghall Road for it to make sense. If they do that will people use the car park to try to skip the queue at the lights?
    I use that road a lot and to be honest I think the only time there will be chaos is during school drop-off and pick-up.

    I heard that too. That it was just a temporary location. I mean Aldi had earmarked the old Heaton Buckley building and gave it up but still seems odd to be so close geographically. Leaves the north of Bray a little short.

    The current Lidl is very non-standard for a Lidl store. A different shape and layout, and has limited parking compared to most.

    Are you talking about Aldi?

    The Lidl looks the same as all Lidls I know and there's loads of parking there, never a problem to get a space.
