>But the CEO of the Vintner’s Federation of Ireland, Pat Crotty, a former publican, told RTÉ: “It’s very difficult. The net position for the publican outside of an urban area is that he’s dying slowly.”
>Inflation, Vat, excise tax, water costs and plans for a living wage were all making matters worse, he said.
Oh what a surprise, he doesn’t want to pay tax and doesn’t want to pay his staff fairly. Has anyone from the Vintners Federation ever said anything different?
Delighted to see this. Alcohol is bad for your body, mind and wallet. Young people today are more focused on the gym and fitness. Possibly one positive side-effect of Instagram culture.
1 in 10 seems like a lot to be doing that every week.
Last time I was in a pub there was a few auld lads blaring TikToks. Never again m8s
Pubs are a bit boring
Torn by this. Frankly it’s good news that we’re drinking less and less but we still need these third places, places we can unwind and socialise together without having to send a million WhatsApps before. The pub was like after school crèche for adults of my dad’s generation.
Is this such a bad thing? I don’t think centering social interactions exclusively around alcohol is healthy in the first place. Sure, sometimes it’s fun to go out, have a few pints and enjoy the evening at the pub. The problem is when this becomes the only option, and it is the only option in most places.
Perhaps something else will come out of this. People will continue to socialise, that is inevitable, but it’ll be interesting to see what form it takes.
A bit surprised, I’ve seen the evolution of the pub from a distance after leaving the country before the smoking ban came into effect. Whenever I’m back I sort of marvel at how they have adapted. The ones in my hometown used to be rammed at night but only have a scattering of auld fellas during the day. Now they are very busy during the daytime with people having coffee, families having grub (the grub is excellent), very few pints being downed but quiet enough in the evenings after the dinner crowd has left. It’s a huge transformation, they have basically become pretty decent casual restaurants. I’d imagine the ones that didn’t embrace change and stuck to serving booze are struggling unless they are in a prime location.
The Irish Pub might be a distinct, valuable icon of our culture, but it’s not a bad thing fewer people are drinking
With how huge the price increases has been there good cause that’s what it’s breaking down to 4 cans of whatever for less then 10 euro or 4 pints for over 20 euro espicaly in this economy no brained
Let me see
Get one generic pint in a crowded, noisy place, have to commute back home when done
For the same price
Get 2 to 3 pints of craft beer of good quality in the comfort of my own place, no wankers shouting, no bad music blaring, toilets are clean without someone trying to coerce me into buying a spritz of foul smelling perfume, no commute…
It’s a marvel I ever set a foot in a pub once a quarter
The pub in my area still seems to do well anytime I’m in there…..same ould souls,sitting in same seats,for years on end though
Not for me, personally
Good riddance. I grew up during the binge drinking of the Celtic Tiger and shortly after. I didn’t start drinking until I was 21 , I felt I had too to not be shut out socially. I made an idiot of myself so many times. Completely my own fault but am delighted that culture is dying out.
But how many get a coffee every week? Culture is changing, maybe struggling pubs need to keep up with that instead of the VFI moaning with some sense of entitlement? Start offering decent variety, diversify their offerings, and maybe then they might have a chance?
Great news. Cafe’s are the new pubs.
9 out of 10 on the bag then 😂
