How much do you miss the pub?

Diabhalta

here's three pallets with cans, everything else is glass.

I could only see homeless people drinking cans outside the supermarkets.. I guess they are handy if you want to have one on the go.. you know, drinking in public..

Someone is very gotten to, it's cool bro, you enjoy beer with very little flavour and a gimmick, no problem. I'll continue drinking beer I enjoy.

Plus canning is better than bottling, it's why the majority of craft breweries are moving towards canning.

Yes, I tend to agree.

The general public are a hell of a lot more responsible than a lot of the legislators in this case.

He is textbook, cans of hino, gotta love him.

A man his size should be well able to do a gallon a hino on his night off. Fair play.

Never trust a man who doesn't drink.

Will the non food pubs be open next week ?

Think the decision is on Thursday but it is way too short of notice. Depends if they still have stock on premises from the last (2?) time they were meant to open. I'd have wagered against them deciding to open them as they have been pushing the priority of opening schools but with this whole golf fiasco maybe they'll want to avert attention.

ShooterSF

Oh and to stoke the very serious sub argument going on Yep Belgian beer > Czech Beer :pac:

I wouldn't have any hope for them opening in the next month

They can't open until the kids are back a few weeks at least. The gov need someone to blame on any spikes if they occurred. Any increases in the week after pubs opening will drag out the anti booze hysteria, it would be worse than Cheltenham.

I wouldn’t have much hope of them opening this year, they didn’t open them when we had 20 odd cases a day, they are hardly going to open them now.

We have to live with this virus and use caution but the powers that be wont do that

Realistically, with Berlin escaping trouble and the government ignoring the regulations they set up themselves, we're going to hit a turning point and soon. I said it already in another thread, but if you're a publican on the brink of extinction and you renew your licence in September with no clue when you'll get the green light to open, why wouldn't you do it anyway? It's been proven that there's no ramifications, so make your money......

I’ve a good feeling about the wet pubs being allowed open next Tuesday. Don’t know why but the rhetoric from NPHET has been about getting kids back low community transmission( I know cases numbers are high) vast majority of cases asymptomatic, hospital numbers stable no increase in ICU (which is the main one)
The VFI and LVA have been very vocal. Nothing over the past two weeks from journalists about pubs opening which I actually think helps. It’s like a bold child constantly asking for something but is never going to get it, until the whinging stops and when they’re being good let them have it...
I honestly think the Government can’t keep kicking the can down the road with this one unless they want to spend another few hundred million to save the livelihoods of all the publicans and their staff. The country just can’t afford it.
I respect what the government and NPHET have being doing, in all honesty as well I think Leo was too trigger happy with the phases. If we stuck to the original plan all hospitality and entertainment would be open and we’d also be able attend sports fixtures.
My local has decided to open on Thursday with a choice of two pizzas and chips for €11 from the local Apache. Just walk ins at the start, he’ll weed out the muppets that act the bollocks from that and hopefully everything will go smoothly. I’ll be having my pizza and pint on Saturday at 5.30pm all going well. But obviously id rather have my own dinner at home then heap the pints into myself :-)

funnily enoughim actually feeling this a bit in my gut too. its like the government know they cant keep pubs shut forever and really need tax revenue from pubs at chrsitmas, so if not now then when? 6 weeks pubs are open with food now and no cases traced to them even with dame st and all that. the medical crowd dont want pubs opening as wet pubs ever again , like we know that, they have alwaays wanted this type of european model, of eat food , few drinks, sit at your table, dont be rambling around giving your tuppence worth to people or ambling up to complete strangers, this is what tourists love about ireland. europeans would never do that. in ireland under that model we would prob be back to huge numbers of bachelors and spinsters , if people cant drink a few then go over and talk ****e to someone of the opposite sex before throwing their tongue into them. this is how vasy majority of marriages start.

anyway government are having a mare of a week, it could be the time they shut up one of the barking dogs in thier ear by throwing them the bone of opening wet pubs, under current food pub guidelines. if they ever needed a brownie points its now. can micheal really gace coming out and saying 3 more weeks lads? plus it gets him out of more subsidies too pay for. let them open and let them sink or swim on thier own.
plus its always the time when you nobody expects it.

I think the opposite, there would be a bit of a backlash if they allowed pubs to open with rising cases and schools opening

Do you think every.public backlash is based on evidence and figures?

PTH2009

let's hope the optimism on the thread about reopening keeps up

I'd take the same regulations as food pubs for the short term. Just to end this mandatory food thing (from walking past places no way some people are been made buy food)

I don’t miss it all anymore to be honest. I miss clubs and gigs though.

imagine never being able to dance to music among people again. isnt it shocking the thing we have been doing since middle ages now banned. like sharia law.

be fun to see how much the vaccine is , biggest con job ever

They will open
Then the rise in cases caused by opening schools unsafely can be blamed on reopening the pubs !

igCorcaigh

I won't be rushing back to pay €6 for a pint of beer. At least not as often anyway.

We need alternative options for night time socialising. All the cafés shut early. The pubs have monopolised nightlife for too long.

How are people finding the prices?
