O’C‘s has finally moved into the right millennium as far as the cash registers go.
The new machines were installed on Monday and Mari was the first to get a crack at them and she found them quite easy and nice to use during her Monday evening shift!
The fine tuning of the machines continued on Tuesday and Wednesday and hopefully by the end of the week everyone’s got a chance to figure out the new system.

It’s time to start another month of quizzes and here’s how they work: You turn up at O’Connell’s a bit before 19.00 and take a few friends to form a team. The team size is not limited. The questions are both in Finnish and in English and will be shown on the screen and TVs. There are 10 questions per round and there are two rounds. All in all the quiz takes about 2 hours. The best three teams always get a prize and there is also a raffle prize between the other teams. So you always have a chance of winning something!

Quite a few customers already have it. Why don’t you?

A few months back we started to hand out regulars’ cards that entitle you to certain discount products, which change monthly. So, if you don’t yet have one, it’s probably because you haven’t been in for a while or you just haven’t noticed the opportunity to gain one. All you have to do to get one is leave your name and email address at the counter and we’ll make sure you get one in the next batch. Then you’ll be receiving an email once a month to inform you of that month’s discount products.

We are now serving Jacobsen Brown Ale on draught!

Jacobsen Brown Ale at 6.0 % ABV is inspired by the best English ale traditions and is an unusual, fruity, full-flavoured beer. Its deep mahogany brown colour comes from the exclusive English malt Maris Otter Ale, which is combined with Amber malt, Carafa special malt, Caramel malt, Chocolate malts and added Nelson Sauvin aroma hops from New Zealand.
An unusual fruity full-flavoured ale.

Thatchers has made fine cider in Somerset for over 100 years. Crafted using freshly pressed English apples, many of their traditional ciders are based on authentic recipes and matured in oak.
O’Connell’s decided to add even more varieties of Thatchers ciders on to our shelves and here’s the newcomers:
Katy at 7.4% ABV is light, dry, fragrant and softly sparkling. Great to enjoy on its own and with chicken, rice or pasta.
Dabinett at 5.3% ABV is a delectable bittersweet cider. A single variety cider made purely from one apple type capturing the distinctive natural qualities of Dabinett apples.

O’C‘s has finally decided to move into the right millennium as far as the cash registers go. That is not to say that the old machines haven’t done their job, but the owners felt it was time to follow the times and invest a bit of money into new cash registers.
The staff is very exited about this upgrade in the machinery and can’t wait to get their hands on the new machines on Monday!
This will also bring some advantages to the customers. For example, now you can open up a table and keep the tap going until you are ready to pay and you’ll get all your purchases on the same receipt.

On Wednesday at 19.00 it’s time to rack your brain again with those tricky questions from Quiz Master Jay. It’s the last quiz of the month and that means extra monthly prizes for those teams that have been here every week to compete.
It also means that next week’s quiz starts another monthly competition and a new chance for everyone to go after those fabulous monthly prizes, in addition to the weekly ones!
The Quiz will be held also during the Summer!
