embossmulligans is really going down hill of late13:22
embossa victim of it's own success13:22
ebeloh? ☹13:27
* ebel likes mulligans13:27
embossI used to love it too13:28
slashtommyoh, what's happened to the grocer?13:53
slashtommyor is emboss talking about the other mulligans?13:54
embossWell a number of issues, which I understand will always be hard for them and that's to retain knoweldgeable waiting staff14:01
embossThe stocking of a lot of beers that don't sell aswell14:01
embossAllowing almost 90% of the bar to be reserved is really off putting14:02
embossthe quality of food is going down and the menu is not rotating as frequently as it did14:02
embossA recent visit the girl brought me the wrong bottle, 4 times...14:03
embossin a row..14:03
emboss4 times...14:03
embossapart from that, it's aces14:03
slashtommyi would never order bottled beer there14:10
embossWell they don't have what I drink on draught14:10
embossso i've no choice14:10
slashtommyall the bottled beer is available across the road for half the price14:11
slashtommythe draught beer is changed often14:11
embossYes but obviously I can't bring it into the pub with me14:11
slashtommyand on draught the beer usually tastes better14:11
embossslashtommy: They ~_never_ have what I drink on draught14:11
emboss:)14:11
embossand never have14:11
slashtommyalso, there are so few places that serve cask beer14:11
embossbut that's something I can live with14:11
slashtommywhat do you drink?14:11
embossdunkel hefe14:12
embossi'm not fussy on which one14:12
embossagain, the having to purchase it from a bottle, was never a problem14:13
slashtommyok, i usually go there for the irish craft beer14:13
slashtommygetting a good few casks in, which is great to see14:13
embossit's not great if you can never get a seat because most of the place has been reserved14:14
emboss;)14:14
slashtommyfriday or saturday you have to book in advance14:14
slashtommyin fact, in two weeks time we have the entire restaurant section booked14:15
embossslashtommy: what night do people tend to go to the pub?14:15
slashtommyif you just want a beer, have you tried the black sheep, brewdock of wj kavanagh?14:15

embosscan you organise this?14:16
slashtommyit's our local, we go when we want14:16
embossso you have no problem getting a seat on fri/sat night then?14:17
ebelwell we often go there on a fri/sat, and just turn up in the bar14:18
embossthat's not what i asked14:18
ebelbut yes, it is often full with people eating14:18
embossright..14:18
embossor often full of reserved tables with no one sitting at them, very annoying :)14:18
slashtommywe don't usually have a problem14:19
embosswell you must be going to a different mulligans than i14:19
slashtommyif you're arriving in the evening, after 10pm. there is often room in the restaurant to sit with a beer14:19
slashtommyaye, maybe14:19
slashtommya friend who lives in the 'batter went all the way into town to mulligans14:20
ebelemboss: l mulligan grocer in stoneybatter, right?14:21
embossebel: right..14:21
embosswhat I will say, when i first started going about two years ago, if they didn't have a certain drink i could email them and they would usually have it in the following week14:21
embossyou could pretty much arrive anytime any night14:22
embossand it was just nice14:22
embossno tv14:22
embosslove it14:22
embossit has a lot of good quslities14:22
