The 108 recently changed owners and it is now in the very capable hands of Galway Bay Brewery who also look after The Black Sheep and Against The Grain. They're serving up the regular blend of craft beers and hearty pub grub but with so many pubs and restaurants in one corner and Blackbird in Rathmines, it has a bit of competition. Luckily, they have the lovely Rathgar locals to lure into their lair and with their lunchtime menu, they should have a steady crowd in through the doors.
What has it got?
Seating: They have a mix of high stools, low stools, high tables and low tables. The low tables are perfect for a wheelchair but you may have to bagsy a spot early. None of the stools have arms but there is an armed bench, ready for attack.
Doors: Their front doors are double doors. They're a little bit heavy but they fit a wheelchair.
Ground: Wooden floors.
Stairs: 'tis all flat, like the gorgeous plains of Kildare.
Bathrooms: They have a wheelchair bathroom! Rejoice! It's pretty big and has all of the correct bars and handles.
Spaciousness: It is a little bit tight to move through all of the tables so it will be a heave when the crowds are in.
Helpfulness of Staff: The staff seem sound
Parking: There is plenty on onstreet parking in the area and Colman's across the road has a car park. There is a wheelchair parking spot beside Christ Church Rathgar.
Rating: 10/10
Why did it lose points? It didn't! In terms of access, you should have an easy night in The 108.
