    Yeah. It is really nice. They have the biggest 4K screen in Dublin, I believe, and a speak easy with a pool table. They will be brewing beer there in the future. They have a good few different beers.

    More importantly, is it still two quid a drink?

    How many pubs have opening in Dublin with lavish budgets over past 5 years?
    If (I mean when) a slowdown and crash happens, these places are screwed!

    This one has a huge multinational behind it (C&C) but I'd be quite worried about the exposure of some other operators at this stage

    I liked the bar the way it was. I'd rather they didn't do it up and kept prices down.

    I know that they will have a good few 5 lamps beers but tbh I’m not much of a craft beer fan so couldn’t say

    Same guy who owns the living room is behind it (with C&C). They know how to run a bar! This will be a huge success, there isn't an equivalent sports bar of this quality on the south side of town.

    living room has to be the most uncomfortable place in Dublin to watch sports.

    I passed The Camden this evening at about 7 and there was 3 bouncers outside it.


    When it was The Palace I don't remember them having any bouncers that early in the evening.

    Didnt the Committments get filmed in there? Any signs of the Blues Brothers statues inside or are they gone?

    There's Blues Brothers statues in the Manhattan in Raheny oddly, which if they're different ones suggests there was a pub decorator with a very favourite movie going around!

    Was filmed there when it was a pool hall/arcade called Ricardo's.

    They always have security quite early, not three bouncers but there was always one. I used to drink there during the day a lot, so I got to know a few of them.

    Now that they have put a lot of money into it they will probably be a lot stricter in who they let in.

    I agree with Jon on the above. I've been in the place twice and it's been very busy both times (and they would be off peak times). I can see this place being a huge success. The only issue I could see was a lack of experienced staff. They had a huge amount of staff on, but they didn't appear to be experienced at all
