“BOCK” on Leece St - has anyone even been?
That end of town is where I frequent most and in the past couple of years I’ve never seen more than a handful of people in there.
Yesterday I was drinking from about 5 until 11 up and around Hope St, when I passed at 5 it was empty, going past heading for food at 9 it was still empty…yet the other places I’d been (Pen Factory, Shandon Bells, Ye Cracke, the Pilgrim) all seemed busier than usual and had people off to/back from the two events at The Philharmonic & loads of Ladies Day attendees still wearing race badges.
I’ve just looked on their social media and it says they are open until 4am… is that how they survive? They take all the drinkers who get ejected when other places close.
I’m well aware it could be an abnormality and I pass at times it’s unusually quiet, but with bars and restaurants struggling to stay open I just find it weird.
