Where would a body get bottles in Cork city?

I've heard places like the Bierhaus, Fran Well are good for giving home brewers bottles but is this the case?

I've my second ever brew getting ready to go to secondary, coopers irish stout, so I need to think of bottles!

Don't forget your local friendly barman!
You do have a local?...

My standard watering holes would be the Fran and the Bierhaus and the Bierhaus are gonna sort me out with some bottles over the weekend, on the condition I drop in a finished bottle for them to try :)

Thats a good deal, someday you might be going in there to buy a bottle with your own  in it :)

Make them drink it in front of you, then demand the empty bottle back and leave.

I could see about bringing some swing tops down with me next week and leaving them in the Fran Well and maybe send a box or two down if they bring the van up for deliveries (although they tend not to these days).

I usually get mine from the Fran Well. I normally go in on a monday evening, as there are loads after the weekend, and I think the recycling bins get collected on a tuesday or wednesday. The lads would have no problem with it. I normally have crates with me, and give the bottles a quick rinse, as there is a tap next to the bins. I do make sure that I give the lads a few bottles now and then to keep them sweet.

Thanks for the replies guys, I was supposed to collect bottles from the bierhaus last night but I'll try get to it tonight!
