Ended up there last night after a Brazilian meat fest in Ranelagh. It was alright, pretty dam hot inside but that could have being the meat. Got a Jaipor X10 and Hoppy pills

Dem pints of desperate mile... Hoo lawdy!!! fantastic.

I thought the staff brought in would have been more experienced though, one of them didn't know what style to call the thornbridge peanut amber (also no allergen warning!), and some other lad got served a full pint of yeasty dregs from the siren IPA keg, which he happily supped away! Blleeuugghh

Qs

Had a few in there last night. Nice spot, staff were pretty knowledgeable. Could definitely do with a bit more info about what beers are on, even the style would be helpful.

I did have a bottle of Founders KBS there though which while a pretty mental price was well worth it. Absolutely amazing beer.

Any reason why the bottle and cans markups are so high in GBB pubs?

This is €26 in the beer market

I have no idea. I drank from the taps until I spotted the KBS. I didn't mind paying over the odds for it because I'd never seen it anywhere before and I believe even in the US its difficult to get hold of.

Good few of them floating about in most off licenses in Dublin anyway. Ring Martins if you want to stock. I've saved a few that i'll drink in the next 5-10 years

Qs

Oh well, I enjoyed it and it wasn't that much dearer than the off licence price.

Off the shelf I think. Can't really remember tbh.

Noticed the beer market have been tweeting photos of the chalkboard for every beer they're putting on lately. None of the photos include the price of each beer :-\
