    O'Casey's does have a down stairs (and an upstairs as it happens). Played pool in it many a times (no jokes about tide pools please :rolleyes:)
    God two pubs are getting great coverage out of this. must be fact said pubs are straight across road from the terminus. always a big plus!

    The Windjammer is named after a model of very large sized steel hulled sailing ship. Pics of which are in the bar. Still the best early house imo. Pint of Guinness 4.20.

    in any case if i was told to meet someone in the high tide it was in neptune bar. downstairs was the low tide.


    What are you talking about?

    The pub is called the Flowing Tide..the downstairs part is called the Neptune Lounge..its sometimes called the Nep or the Nepper(although it has closed now) but it was NEVER called the low tide OR the high tide.

    It was nickname WE had for it. If it was on ground level in flowing tide we called the high tide. Low tide for downstairs. can we draw a line under this discussion!

    Would love to know the origin of the Bird Flanagan. Also, the Waxies Dargle (closed now, I think) used to be opposite the Wax Museum off Parnell Square, the Glimmerman - Stoneybatter, the Windjammer, The Speaker Connolly, Mother Redcaps

    The Speaker Connolly was the speaker (or chairman) of the Irish Parliament in the 18th century. He built Castletown House in Celbridge.

    The Waxies Dargle is the Dodder river... the gentry in the 18th century used to have picnics on the banks of the dargle near Enniskerry, Wicklow. Waxies were cobblers... name derives from the waxed thread used in making and repairing shoes... they used to have their picnics on the banks of the Dodder, possibly at Donnybrook, hence the Dodder being referred to as the waxies Dargle.

    Mother Redcaps (now gone?) was opened in 1989, the bicentenery of the French Revolution and the owner had a republican ethos; he named it after the fashion of the Sans Coulottes of Paris of wearing a red bonnet to denote their loyalty to the revolutionary cause.

    Howl at the Moon on Mount Street. Fittingly just across the road from Holles Street hospital.

    The most accurate renaming of a pub I ever came across was when the Baggot Inn changed to "Big Jacks" .Does anyone remember guinness light?

    Baggot Inn was a decent place before it was taken over. very good for gigs. Sometimes change is not always for the best

    The Mother Redcaps building is still fully intact. Market and bar (or tavern). It's closed down alright but the building still has all the Mother's frontage.

    Sounds like Humberklog love's every bleed'n pub!.

    I'll have to drag him out to Campions for a gargle, sorry nothing special about the name. But its got to be one of the best pubs in Dublin, 'bar none!.

    Actually I've often thought the bar & its customers would be a good photo op for him or Fijitas.

    Ha! I was only out in Campions for a pot of tea last week. It'd be a stop off for me. You need a cuppa after getting through Malahide traffic!! I'm game for a pint anyday, although I know you do be there on a Sunday so must pop the nose in some day. I was out with Fafitas after the After Hours do the other week and he said he'd a cracking night so I was half thinking of popping in to the one on the 18th.

    I don't often photo in pubs, I'd like to but end up drinking!! (than losing cameras).
    Windjammer would be the pub I'd have popped into when frequenting a house in Pearse Sq. but that person's location has moved to Mountjoy St. so I've been exploring the little nest of pubs around there. Great little spot, rich vien of pubs I'd never been in.
    Oh I do like me pubs.
