Against The Grain 15 years 6 months ago #1

Just noticed on the website of the guys who run The Oslo and Salthouse in Galway: they say they're opening a Dublin branch on Wednesday of next week (29th).

It's called Against The Grain, 11 Wexford Street. That's that corner-of-death pub which is currently Féile, having recently been Carnival, and half a dozen other things in recent years.

Hope they can make a go of it.

Off topic, but what is in your gruit? Presume it's herbs, but curious as to which ones.

Yarrow, Fennel, Sage, Rosemary, Oregano, Heather and (I suspect) acetobacter <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->. I'll post a proper thread on it after I've tasted the finished thing.

My favourite was "NASDAQ"! How Celtic Tiger can you get? <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

Good luck to them; I hope they get good karma for borrowing their name from one of the better[/url:hu9w6day] beer bars in NY.

That is superb news- was just in Oslo for the first time this weekend (albeit for food only- on a drive back to Dublin from the Aran Islands). Funnily enough i was having a conversation about Feile/ Carnival/D2/ Nasdaq etc etc with some mates and we agreed that it must be one of the most hexed pubs in Dublin. Hopefully this new venture will buck the trend.

Called in for a swift pint of Bay Ale yesterday evening. They've done a great job on it: very roomy and a lot brighter than it used to be.

Food is due to kick off next week.

Here are the taps, click for big:
