The evolution of Pubs in Ireland

With the mounting cost of operating a bar, increased taxation on alcohol and the general downturn in alcohol consumption, many Irish pubs are struggling to turn a profit and in some case even just surviving. Tough times, however, can lead to businesses developing new innovative ways of operating.

The Mintel report Impact of Recession on SMEs (Industrial Report) - Ireland, September 2009 notes that small businesses that survive the recession will be better off for it, having streamlined their business practices, become more efficient at working as well as developing more innovative ways of working.
