This premises had recently (less than two weeks prior, according to the social media) been taken over by Press Up after the previous operators - Hartes of Kildare - lease had expired; and was showing some significant signs of this change. Very few taps were available, staff seemed to be quite confused if you obeyed the sign on the door telling you to wait to be seen by said staff before sitting down, and there was much confusion in finding the card machine when I went to pay for my pint. Because nobody uses cards these days, of course.
Signage was still up for Dew Drop Inn beers - a Kill brewpub owned by Hartes; and there were tap heads for their fellow Kill brewers Trouble - but with no beer from either available. However, there were still some options that were't the standard Press Up Heineken-Ireland-And-Guinness-Only range. Not for long I'd guess.
It's interesting to see the place before it gets fully converted to a Press Up clone; but its not worth going for the service currently. The pub was practically empty on a Friday evening, with its near neighbour (that I'll be writing up next) solidly busy.
