jackr Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Unless it's had a serious lick of paint and the miserable bar staff had a large kick up the arse, I, for one, will not be frequenting the RL for a while. O' Malley's is defo one up for ambience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miltonbentley Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I suspect when the long awaited Ralph Fitch (next to Porn Ping) opens shortly it will put a cat among the pigeons and compete favourably with both the RL and O'Malley's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenivan Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 We were 5 guys visiting CM (from CR) for golf a week or two ago. We had dinner at a Oh Oh Shark after with our ladies and then O'Malleys for a couple of Guiness and Kilkennys and a game of pool. No problem at all with anything except the bill that was high. But that was probably because of a lot of drinking! BTW, golfers in CM must be very happy having an excellent course like Highlands!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often see him moving in this and that down around there. If the RALPH FITCH is the ex ROCK HARD then it will be run by Mathew (ex “partner” of Kevin of the Red Lion) Kevin also runs the “German” restaurant (Hans Muchen I think) just down from the Red Lion.

Gonzo the Face Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 With all of the other stuff that has been written, has anyone answered ,,,,,, with all the redo with Anusarn Mkt, is Scott [O'Malleys] closing, moving or is he not effected.....

It would be a shame if O'Malleys was to close. Even with the indifferent staff that they have (they had) you can still have a nice meal there and it has some ambience as well. (I was trying to think of her name and then it came back "a rose by another name...") With Matthew out of the Red Lion I guess that there is a chance that it might now resurrect itself. Watch this space though for the happenings at the "old hard rock" and follow it's fortunes. Haven't been in there for a while but at least with it's "olde" atmosphere it gives it a chance of success.

Ulysses G. Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 With Matthew out of the Red Lion I guess that there is a chance that it might now resurrect itself. When I first opened my shop many years ago, Mathew did a walk through while complaining loudly about the "high" prices to the other customers. I have always made a point of returning the favor whenever I am in the neighborhood of the Red Lion, however, it looks like those days are over. Does anyone know when his new place next to the Porn Ping Hotel is opening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd almost forgotten the "Old" Hard Rock what a joke that place was with the Vespa above the door.

ThaiPauly Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 4 of us had a good meal at the Red Lion on last Thursday...certainly a "step up" from previous dining experiences there. The place was heaving...but it was filled with those Hash House Harrier types. but credit where credit is due PS I know absolutley FA about the owner situation TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
