S0243 Bottlers Bank

It is very hard to find out if this pub is open - it is, you can trust the Google Maps opening hours - as all their social media accounts are still in the early lockdown closure days. 

An early 2000s extension to the larger Comans next door, the Bottlers Bank has generally been open throughout the long years that the main pub has stayed shut. There is currently an auction sign on the main Comans, but any reference to it online cannot be found - and searching for it only finds that the car park was up for auction last year, with a different auction house.

The pub is nicely set up, albeit with a fully macro lineup - the previous iteration pre-lockdown had some craft taps; and a manager who was good for a chat about the recent history of the place.

Somewhere the size of Rathgar should be able to keep two pubs going, even if the big one never reopens
