TOPIC:

Noticed on my way to the DART station that the Station House in Raheny has closed for refurbishment and will reopen as the 'Cock and Bull' in October. It'll be a sister pub of the Cock and Bull in Coolock and are promising lots of craft on their facebook page. Haven't been to the Coolock pub, whats it like?

The cock and bull has no Irish craft, has Sierra nevada on tap, and a few English, Scottish, American crafts in bottle/can.

Nice food.

Thanks Lenny,

Sounds like it'll be an improvement on the current offering anyhow.

What kind of crowd is Coolock attracting (younger/older etc.)?

Em i suppose about 25+. There is a heavy bouncer present due to its location, so the younger crowd from the area i suspect go to the blacker(Liz Delaney's beside northside sc), i've not seen any trouble in it.

It's grand for a late pint if you don't wana go to town or swords. It's a hell of a lot better than the Sheaf that was there previously. Could do with more Irish craft but these things come in small steps I suppose.

Around the corner from my gaff, so hopefully it'll turn out well. I asked on twitter about [b:a066mtcs]Irish[/b:a066mtcs] craft beer and they responded in the positive, their menu on Facebook doesn't list any though.

Sierra Nevada and Brewdog on tap in Raheny is a big step up from what's here already.

Brian do you know who much the brewdog is going for?
