Stoney batter Seven

Hootanany

Anyone know what Restaurant is going into the old Seven resturaunt sign says Kavanagh.
Has the pub up the road took it on?

I live in Stoneybatter and we asked the builders about it. They said it will be a sort of greasy spoon cafe with good food.

seven was a great restaurant, their early bird was great value.
then they went and changed owners a couple of times and was never the same

Your joking me, that has always been an insult name given to the people living in the council houses up the road in Drumalee.

It's where they herded and pend the cattle and sheep before shipping them off to be slaughtered abroad until the 70's, it is a kip full of junkies but some normal people also live there.

Hope they have insurance.

Wasn't the Oxmantown Road whole area known as cowtown?

I never heard it was used as an insult.

Most of the Stoneybatter area around the market was called Cowtown, but after the market was knocked down and left vacant for years the name went as well.

After Drumalee was built it was called Cowtown by the NCR locals due to the amount of single mums with kids that were housed there.

I never knew that

Was it? I lived in Stoneybatter from the age of 3 until I was 26 and never heard that term for Drumalee. We called it the Cattle Market.

I can't see many people caring that a cafe is using the same name given that they're referencing the original name and not the petty usage of it that some people adapted later.

And there I was assuming that it was being set up either by someone from Calgary, Alberta, or someone returning from living there.

I'm not from around there but hung around with lads who were,1 from Drumalee, that was back in the 80's and 90's.

I'm sure that things will be fine for the cafe but there are some clowns living there.

I think that. Kavanagh was just the brand name of the awning in the front.

I disagree, Cucina2 was an excellent restaurant. Great food at super prices.

Any word on what is going in there? Soulful was a nice restaurant, very surprised when it closed.

Soulful got hit by rates and bills and stuff couldn't make it work.

Wood-fired pizza place is what I heard.


Personally I love the name Cowtown. I live Oxmantown Road and have always referred to all of North Stoneybatter as Cowtown.

That would a good call hope it's not too pricey like the Tapas bar across the road.

Stoneybatter needed a place like that Tapas spot I think. Somewhere fancy to go for a special night out that doesn't involve a trip into the city centre. The food is amazing too.

12€ fillet steak says hi!

I live locally and though soulful was very poor, not sorry to see it go. Got raw chicken on one occasion. Really like Boqueria. Is Seven social closed?

I gave up on Soulful. Overpriced, small portions and mediocre food...and she treated her staff very badly in public.

I remember the abbatoirs in Stoneybatter.
There was one on the left as you go down the road behind the Glimmerman and also a piggery up behind the resource centre on Arbour Place

There was also a butchers on Cowper Street who killed his own. I still remember the sawdust on the floor:)
