The folks at Bodytonic, who are behind the Bernard Shaw, MVP, The Twisted Pepper, and The Back Page are opening a new pub at 4 Hogan place in Dublin 2. Hogan place is sandwiched between Merrion Square and Pearse street. If you were to walk up Fenian street, past the Gingerman pub for a few minutes you’d reach it.
The pub will be called ‘The Square Ball. It’s opening today (11th July) for one day only as a ‘soft launch’ or preview ahead of their real launch in August. Now, here’s the interesting part about this launch. Bodytonic put up a fairly cryptic post about having to solve a puzzle to find out about their new bar. So, you go from facebook, to the bodytonic site, to the square ball site where you have to solve a puzzle, which is the bars logo to receive an email to find out about the pub. Still with me? It’s not rocket science, but it’s a bit of fun to grab our attention.
The jumbled puzzle.
Once solved you’re invited to enter your email address to get more information.
The pub that it is replacing is called ‘Doolans’, which, any time we passed by looked like a very nice little spot. Details aren’t too forthcoming yet, but we’ll hopefully know more about what the story is soon.
You can solve the puzzle on their website at: www.the-square-ball.com/
