    And you'd think half decent beer would be a basic requirement of a pub, but it never stopped the Bróg.

    That doesn't stop the vast majority of pubs operating.

    It's 100% a marketing ploy, I'd stake my life on it at this stage.

    Today's Facebook update:

    .

    I've been saying this since Wednesday, it became obvious very fast..... that said, the staff didn't know about it. Not sure about the manager of An Brog or the person running the page though.

    i still dont know if it was a marketing ploy or differences of opinion between the owners... going by what one owner has being saying on his fb id say its the latter tbh....

    I didn't think there would be any market for an upmarket tapas cocktail bar anymore. Things must be tigering up again.. time to get a massive loan and slap up a few houses!

    Latest update is that it'll be over 21s from Friday. Doesn't bother me in the slightest but i am a little surprised.

    Saw a poster in the window of The Brog yesterday saying "Save the Brog". Strange how the owner would have allowed that to have been put up :rolleyes:

    Seems like the whole thing is a silly stunt. I was glad to see the back of the place. I never had a decent pint in there in my life.

    Not just a simple silly stunt either. The only things not changing from when they said they wanted to change are the names and the food and cocktail menu.... though I wouldn't be surprised if they still brought in a cocktail bar given the amount of open space they have now.

    Changing the age policy changes the whole essence of the place. It was always a place that anyone could go, the weird kids, the rockers, etc. I guarantee they start a dress code within a short while. Given I've literally danced in my underwear in the Brog 3 years ago, I am stating now, this isn't the Brog we all knew, it's just another pub by numbers. :)

    The new An Brog is behind Barbosa. It's accessed from the lane way which leads in to the English Market.

    Why would you assume its hipster? I was in there a few weeks ago and it had a very mixed/older crowd. Nothing hipster about it at all.

    I just thought that was the crowd they would be aiming for. If it's not then great!
