DĂșn Laoghaire certainly packs them in: I always go there first because it tends to be full by lunchtime, and certainly was on Monday. Blackrock is quieter in the afternoon but I'm told gets very busy on weekend evenings. I can't speak to the northside ones, but Cork seems to do a brisk trade.<br /><br />I don't think it's lack of business that's slowing them down. The two central Dublin branches were advertised as "coming soon" on a noticeboard I saw on Monday. They're just climbing out of planning hell now. Carlow, Waterford and Cork 2 are on hold, but I'd say they were always supposed to happen after Dublin city centre anyway.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-88688599446996639212018-03-22T00:37:16.331+00:002018-03-22T00:37:16.331+00:00Do Wetherspoons seem to be making a success of the...Do Wetherspoons seem to be making a success of the Irish market? Do the pubs seem busy? I note they don't seem to have expanded much there recently.Thom Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769973975420792914noreply@blogger.com
