S0175 The Cow

Formerly the original branch of The Chophouse - now relocated entirely to what was their second branch (S4470 The Chophouse) in Sandymount - this was very briefly one for the list of "sad 2024 closures".

However, within a matter of weeks - or days, even - the Morans, of Red Cow Hotel ownership note, had taken over and reopened as The Cow, with much of the original staff remaining.

I dropped out fairly shortly after, and despite not being entirely sure when they were opening - it was a Bank Holiday weekend, they didn't have social media set up yet, and additionally there were workmen painting the premises when I got there - I got in. After lurking in The Old Spot for a pint first, that is.

The setup here is very much restaurant, but they are also willing to serve drinkers - I did, however, actually get food here. There's bar seating but also spare dining tables were made available for those looking to just drink while I was there. There's more choice of beer on offer than often available in this type of restaurant pub - something shared with The Old Spot actually - and the food was decent.
