Publican tries to keep the wolf at bay with tasty €10 pint and stew deal

A LIMERICK publican has decided to fight the fall in business with a mouthwatering offer, which he says is going down a treat with customers.

The Glen Tavern in Glentworth Street offers a large bowl of its famed Irish stew along with a pint of the customer’s choice for €10.

Publican Gerard Callanan said: “We have done Irish stew every day of the week for years and we are known throughout the city for our stew. But now along with a stew the customer can have a pint of lager (€4.35), pint of Guinness (€4), or any other draught you like... We expect that when the days get colder the stew and pint offer will be an even bigger attraction. A lot of visitors come in for the stew and are amazed that they can have a pint, all for €10. We were very surprised at how well it has gone and I would say we will be holding on to the offer for a long time to come. I must say I have been amazed at how well the stew and pint is going.”
