Portlaoise Pub Club

The next pub club will be on Saturday the 28th of June! The pub club is a social group that meets in the pub. All are welcome, it’s a chance to meet some new people over a few pints in the most sociable place of all 🍻 This meet-up starts in Sally Gardens

“It’s sad to see what’s happening with the pubs throughout rural Ireland. It’s the way of life gone, you know?” The closure of the Ramble Inn in Halfway, Ballinhassig (a pub with over 300 years of history) is a reminder of just how valuable local pubs are in our local communities, and the support needed to keep going. Read more about it here: echolive.ie/corklives/arid…

So effective that banning happy hours, making off licences close at 10pm, banning multibuy discounts, segregating alcohol from other groceries, banning loyalty points on alcohol and introducing minimum unit pricing hasn't made problem drinking go away. Better do some more, so.

Christmas pinting season in full swing 🍻 #DrinkIrish #DrinkLocal

Binge drinking on the rise among Irish adults drinksindustryireland.ie/binge-drinking…

@DrinksInd_ie Binge drinking is 3 or more standard strength pints in one sitting. I could casually have 3 pints this evening, walk home, no trouble to anybody & go to work tomorrow. Setting the level at what’s considered binge drinking that low is only there to allow for dramatic headlines

"But to have a beer that is available in a pub, in an on-licence, is a new idea here in Ireland…" This fella’s had one too many Changing Times: beer has been available on premise in Irish pubs since the beginning of pubs… rte.ie/news/business/…

@PintsO_Guinness @Nodontjump I was thinking that looked like The Welcome Inn

This is what life is about.

A reminder the pub club meets tomorrow at 8pm in Sally’s. The pub club is a social group for meeting new people over a few pints, and supporting local pubs. All are welcome. We also have a WhatsApp group, DM to be added.

Replace the doom scrolling with a book or magazine and “better” with “just as good” and I’d agree with this. #pubs

Nope

@foxatronic82 Very nice, but still has the sponsor on it though ☹️

this is an absolute beaut…haven’t bought a jersey in years, that might be about to change.

@DavidMarra “The Problem” is Irish adults can’t be trusted and have to be treated like children

€1.89 for a bottle of wine in France. Excise duty alone in Ireland is nearly double this amount. Yet the nanny-staters here tell us “cheap alcohol” is “the problem”

The long walk to Scotland’s remotest pub is worth the effort! Watch #OurLives: The Journey to Scotland's Most Remote Pub on #BBCiPlayer bbc.in/3swSqQI

@beerfoodtravel I do think though (possibly controversially) that off the shelf is too warm and from the fridge is too cold. Cellar temperature would be ideal.

@PubClubPL Absolutely, it and Macardles are lifesavers. Although this was about a need for a stout that tastes vaguely like a stout should, plus the glass and the self-serve ...

Solace, need, and ritual in the 21st century Irish pub ...

@Readerofstats @L_I_Editor 😂😂 ok gramdma

@PubClubPL @L_I_Editor You are a fucking loser pal Pubs are for adults over 18’s like? You should seek help if you can’t manage to not visit a pub while you are in charge of your child?
