September 2017 Licence Update

...is also unlikely to happen. Revenue have not updated the register since mid-July (for a July 1 date) and even the few other categories of excise licence that had registers updated in August do not have September updates.

I would very much hope we get an October update due to it being the critical one due to the licencing court dates in September. If none occurs it is likely that it can be provided in the future though, as Revenue were very helpful in giving me legacy data.

Daft has been my main provider of updates for the map in the past few months - pubs I don't pass with any frequency that have closed will usually turn up for rent.

S0122 The Jar

Rebranded from Solas to the current name (which I find a bit tacky personally, but each to their own) a few years ago, this pub has an in-house branch of Base pizza. Otherwise its a fairly standard modern city centre bar, in keeping with the surrounding bars on Wexford/Camden Street.

S0198 Cassidys

A (now) rare smaller traditional pub for Camden Street, this is more like the pubs you'll find away from the main nightlife areas of the city. Its also one of the cheaper pubs (although still not hugely cheap) around the area.

1009574 Camden Exchange

There's a unique situation here - this is a pub which cannot legally call itself a pub.

Equipped as a restaurant premises for the filming of the RTÉ docu-drama Raw, the agreement which enabled transferring a publicans licence to the premises requires it to operate as a cafe-bar and not promote itself as a pub; or apply for late licences.

The building was originally a National Bank branch, presumbly closed after their merger with Bank of Ireland due to the larger branch down the road. This leaves a fine looking premises for the new "pub" to use

There's a decent selection of beers and a small enough food menu

S0007 Tramline

A cavernous, underground multi-room pub and restaurant in what used to be Play/21s. There was a pre-launch listening party for The Script's new album on when I arrived - unfortunately without free booze, the music industry not having returned to their early 2000s profligacy.

There was a decent range of pints on draught - with different ones on different bars which I can see being very confusing for someone who has already consumed a few; a cocktail bar which I didn't try and a wood fired pizza oven in the second room.

They've got a slightly modified version of the Luas stickman cyclist warning sign up on a few walls, which I regret not taking a photo of for here (there's one viewable elsewhere). I was worried this sign would vanish when the Luas works are complete but hopefully this preserves it!
