You mean like work cubicles with non-concealed hooch.
Hic.
This afternoon.
Fade Street, Dublin 2
The formerly open-plan Market Bar re-opens following a €60,000 boxed off partitioning job to help kill the buzz flatten the curve.
The makeover has reduced the bar’s capacity from 800 to 350 and their accountant from fairly calm to a quivering mess.

I’d be very curious to hear the financial maths on this. Spending €60k, to then only operate at 44% capacity…
No business I know of could stay in operation at 44% capacity/demand, even after making saving cuts to operating costs.
My guess is that venues which are in the center’s of cities, especially Dublin, are going to get hit hardest because the overheads are so much higher- especially leases or rent.
And for god sake you really must have a drink problem to visit a pub fitted out like that
They should rename it the twelve monkeys and get the staff to dress up as Bruce willis
Reminiscent of the stock pens in an animal market.
I ws thinking the exact same thing John. It is called the Market Bar I suppose.
I won’t be in a rush there, it looks ridiculous.
Well spotted
These are not pubs just places of desperation
Pubs should just close instead of being bled dry
arrows on the floor pointing to the jax (I assume) is a good idea
jasus that looks awful
it doesn’t scream cosy or relaxing
the market bar….soon to be the market less bar
I feel like some of ye are really contriving to say how bad it looks tbh. Cubicle style design isn’t exactly new in the restaurant world. The ‘post-pandemc’ world will involve changes to behaviour and this is hardly at the top of the list for intrusiveness. Why not go with it instead of trying to mock/shame people into not being arsed?
Wario no one is shaming or mocking just saying why it’s not appealing for them, my take
Exactly, Janet. There is no contrivance involved, class wario. I find the set-up very unappealing and would not choose to eat or drink there. Additionally, cubicles do not provide flexible seating arrangements, nor are they suited to the friendly atmosphere of a pub/bar. Is this really what we are condemned to live with long-term or will we eventually get back to a situation where humans can interact more normally?
wario
basically what Janet + John said there
for me anyway “going with” that looks about as appealing as taking the morning off heading into town to take a ticket to pay my motor tax
honestly not mocking it and I don’t have the answers either, sorry :(
Going to a pub or restuarant is all about enjoyment not going to some place that resembles a place like these
Its functional
and basic
With no facility for posing, strutting or making a grand entrance
With no opportunity to seen or spotted, I can’t see the place getting to Year End without the Office dos getting them over the line
you might as well not bother with the wax ;)
this is what they mean by Knock On Affect Janie
Thing is, Market was a very large open space- most pubs and restaurants are not.
Although, good to see some common sense being applied with the visors rather than the mussels.
Might improve the place. You had more of a chance of hearing someone on the other side of the room than the person beside you with the noise in there.
