Is that a good or bad price for it ?? It is in a good location and has a good few bars around it that attract a crowd aswell.Quote:

slightly more than they were asking so it's a good price i guess. Apparently another one of the pubs there is for sale too.
:)Watch this space again.:)
Tapas bar flopped thankfully.
Actually, I thought there would have been enough flashy types in and out of City Hall to keep it busy but no.
what are the chances of opening it as a music venue again?
Well, there's no problems with the seisuins downstairs anyway but I wouldn't know what the HSA stance on upstairs is.
Was staying across the river in Jurys last summer and was saddened to see the lobby was being run as what appeared to be a cocktail bar/cafeteria. Didn't venture over.
Would love to see it revert to a music venue. Got to play there a couple of times and saw some savage gigs in there ...Andy White, Edwin Collins ...perfect for that kind of gig.
Any word on the new place next door 'The Whiskey' (over Donkey's I believe)? Playing there in April but have heard very little about it.
The Whiskey used to be the Phoenix once upon a time, which is next door to what was once Donkey's. In its' day it was the best pub in Cork. It's the guy who has Fred Zeppelins that has it now, I think. I haven't been there since it reopened as The Whiskey but The Phoenix was a great place for gigs, from a punters point of view it was anyway. I don't know what it was like to play there.Quote:

thanks. I meant the Phoenix.
Under what guise are you playing there, Lionel? Is this a HMHB outing? Let us know dates will you?
Yep. Fri 25th April. following night we're in Limerick. Interest from a few other places but still nothing solid.Quote:

Assuming the worst in terms of curfew (i.e. last band offstage at 11.30) we'd be on at 10pm. You'd be in plenty of time.Quote:
