Cork pub says they have failed if customers chose chain brands over local businesses

A popular pub in Cork has spoken out against chain brands coming to the city centre.

A post on Sober Lane's Facebook page says that their staff will "have not delivered" if their customers choose to move to chain brands.

Our thoughts on Weatherspoons, Starbucks etc - if you feel the need to go to somewhere like that - we, the independents, have let you down
