If I owned a pub I would... (1 Viewer)

I probably spoke too soon from sheer shock and excitment. I should probably wait to have the keys in my hand, which will be a few weeks. Deposit paid and I hope the rest goes smoothly because I already gave my notice at work. eek!

That said, I've done a lot of local research and have a long list of possible ideas. Food beyond toasties and soup is not possible now but maybe in the future. Knowledge of sport (especially hurling) is key and I was quizzed last night and did okay. Thumped teach me about hurling, rugby and GAA!

Sangria in the summer and a turf fire in the winter.
I bagsey the good chair.
 
scampi fries and bacon fries a yes. craft beers go off in the country.
Also, don't take it personally if youre still called a 'blow in' after 12 years and taken a pub that was sold because a lack of business, and turned it into a successful venture.
Also, my locals Sky Box is about e750 a month if you want Setanta and all that shite, or so I was told earlier this week. The Racing channels are your best bet. Talk to your most local bookie and make arrangements to take bets from the bar. "Hello...JillHives1372, a fiver e/w at the 2:40 in Fairyhouse, thanks, bye".
Also, a camera over the till. Turn, foot and transport your own turf. You'll save a fortune. Throw it into a stove that feeds the rads. Open fire is lovely, but 80% of it goes up the chimney.
Get used to republican ballad music. Start going to mass next door. Make sure your doors and curtains are closed during funerals.
+1 on the 'Got Wood' Tshirts.
cater for christenings, funerals and weddings, even if its only for a drink before or after.
Get to know your local hackneys, or get your license so you can drive your best customers home after closing.
Be your customers best friends. Flirt with them, and know that they've got your back should things kick off.
Be part of the community. Charity events etc.
Get to know your local trad musos.
Drinks promotions.

I'll take care of that. It'll tie in nicely with the docu, don't you think?

Hilarious scenes as I try to explain why the GAA league means sod all bu The Championship is the be all and end all of life itself for a large percentage of Irish people.
 
can't wait to see this doc.
any how, supplimental income...baked goods. Farmers market. You've the space for the other 362 days of the year when the LumberFest ain't on.
