J&K Walshs put up a post on facebook saying watch this space ??

Could it be for take away pints which can be consumed in places like red square etc

Think they could be a bit messy esp with lack of toilets around the area if you're not allowed inside the pub

They seem to be doing a lot of work in their other venture (T+H's) so I'd expect that this is the space to watch. To be fair they made a huge effort @ the outside areas in both pubs - when the pubs re-opened briefly. Perhaps they are gearing up for outside Christmas trade?

I see JK Walshs are doing takeaway Irish Coffees, Baileys Coffees and beer from the new window @ the side of T+H's

Nice to see a bit of innovation and enterprise in trying to keep a business open and inject some bit of life into the town. However, Im sure some busybody or public official is already consulting all the rules & regs in an attempt to scupper this venture. Hats off to the lads I say. Keep it going :pac::pac:

Anyone get any takeaway pints ?

Nobody really knows if there is a rule about drinking on the streets ?. What's stopping a group getting a few pints and drinking them outside the premises

AdMMM

Technically they have to be consumed 100m away from the premises they were bought in. Practically it's impossible to enforce, because you could easily buy your pints from one pub and then travel 100m close to another pub.

It would be nice to think or believe that when the clocks strike 12am on NYE that everything would revert back to the way it was! Wishful thinking unfortunately

Most people usually let themselves go and the prolonged festive period socialising/eating/drinking for the best part of 3 weeks. Hard to know how the Govt/NPHET will approach the Christmas period. TBH they will have had 6 weeks to devise a strategy or plan. But I wouldnt hold my breath there either!

Any bit of normalcy over Christmas will probably result in a spike in the New Year. Next year is shaping up to be much like this year. Even if the Pfizer vaccine is rolled out successful it will be about this time next year before normality returns. A lot of ifs and buts there but that is the way of things currently Im afraid. Dig in for a bit yet.

One thing that needs to change is the media doom and gloom around. Hearing from Dr Tony and NPHET everyday is getting OTT

Ah ffs PTH... Pot and kettle there now to be fair.

Here's an idea... DON'T WATCH THEM EVERYDAY!
Nobody's forcing you to, so just make a decision to tune out for 3 or 4 days. And maybe from boards too.
Could do you the world of good.

Very sensible advice there. Something I took onboard a while ago. Amazing how it changes your mindset. When I get home from work I leave the phone in the bedroom. Watch TV etc. Or read a book. We can't change what is happening @ present so if we are fully immersed in the Covid carnival 24/7 then it will begin to take a toll. All you can do is look after yourself.

Few hipsters around T&Hs drinking there takeaway Guinness's

Great to see the idea working

Few food pubs opening back up this week

A certain place up just off Barrack Street is prioritising locals and coming off as a little aggressive in terms of 'people saying there regulars' trying to book tables. Its nice to look after the regulars but not letting any else in is a bit much

Norris? Seems like a very unfriendly "locals only" dive anyway but yeah, i saw that tweet and it was dreadful. Akin to saying we dont want any heads that we dont recognise ever. What an awful way to attract business.

Really? How could that be the case when half of them streaming out of the place are young fellas, unless they started drinking at 10! The issue was its very off putting for anyone booking a table to be told right out to jog on.

A regular would be someone who drinks in there regularly,doesn't matter how old they are,plenty of young fellas would be regulars in there I'd imagine.

Doubt many would be booking in there anyway who wouldn't be regulars,the pub is looking after the people who have looked after them for years,personally I don't see an issue with that.

Agree regulars are what keep pubs ticking over in quiet months with only 15 allowed in its only fair to look after your loyal customers and keep out blowins who may bring the viruses

As the lad said to my wife last year in the pub, “yeah I’m a regular,I come here on the 23rd every year” ��

I wonder how many places will open the big days like Xmas Eve, Stephens day and NYE

There always messy days/nights but imagine could be a little worse this year

They're. It short for "they are".

I'm sure I'll get shot down for being a grammar nazi but that's ok.

Will you go somewhere this Saturday to watch Ireland v Scotland? I know you enjoy the rugby.
If so where?

It is short...not "it short".

Don't mention it.

I thought that was no longer allowed?

Well the premises are adjoined and access from the kitchen straight in the bar, so it’s not like the kitchen is in another building down the road

mayordenis

How do they get new regulars if its regulars only?

PTH2009

The woodman and the lounge were due to open up with a portable kitchen but with the new rules they can't

No wet pubs til a vaccine is fully rolled out, what a joke
