i remember going there for lunch a few times when i worked in town a few years ago, thought it was called something else though

Yeah it was called Tims.

Itsdacraic

It may have undergone another incarnation between being Tims and Players?

Or perhaps the OP is thinking of The Doghouse which was further down the street?

no tims is becoming more familiar now the more i think of it. i remember the dog house too, where the cornstore is now. ah the good ole days haha

The Dog House would also have been known as Qunlivan's and Tims was McKnight's previously

The Old Tom?

- I remember arriving in there one night, slick and too cool for school - went downstairs to the cellar/crypt - place was jammed, saw a 15 foot tunnel leading off somewhere, seemed to be a room full of People, took me about 10 mins to get through that tunnel as it was jammed & when I got there it was just a fúcking mirror

Yeah the Dog House was Old Tom before that.
