Just wondering what is the bridge bar like as a pub?

I assume you mean the bridge bar on the way from the centre of clonmel to the old bridge ?

If you do, this bar is closed for a number of years.

Didn't know that, thanks for letting me know! You'd think that kind of info would be up on the web, which is why I come on here to see what's happening in Clonmel.

There's a facebook page called, "Things you miss in Clonmel" and it's after exploding in memebers over the past week, over 2 weeks ago there was only 236 memebers now there are over 1,200 members.

Some funny stories on it and good memories too. Amazing thinking to Clonmel the way it used to be and remembering the old pubs, remember The Jagged Edge and The Vault!

Think the idea of setting up a group like that is great alternative for people who don't want to or feel strange having to send an actual "friend request" to clonmel stories which should've been set up as a fb page in the first place!

Possibly people gutting it to get it ready for its new owners.

Actually I just checked the Facebook page. Friday was the last night it was opening. They just had their official closing down party last Saturday as more people could attend. It's definitely closed now.

It's open for another week apparently.Passed down last night and the barman said they were told to keep it open till next weekend but that it has been sold.

They're prob keeping it going until most of the stock is sold and until the new owners are in a position to fully take over.

The barman we were talking to said that he was told it was going to be used as some type of medical facility but he didn't know if that meant a doctors practice, physio centre etc. The outside of it will remain the same which is the most important thing, it's one of the nicest facades in Clonmel.

Whether or not they will install crash barriers will depend on a good number of factors so you are best to contact the Senior Engineer in the Clonmel/Cahir Municipal District who are based in the Civic Buildings, Emmett Street, Clonmel.
I presume that you have informed the Gardaí about the accidents and have taken photos .

I remember the Post House as a book shop, think there was still a post office counter there, I first came to Clonmel in 1995. I think it was messy enough, books on the floor ... Maybe it was changing use at the time.
There was a gorgeous teeny coffee shop near it, I think it was the Mary Rose, or something with Rose, Red Rose café maybe, with a lovely lady who served the best ever Irish breakfasts.
Never been in the pub !

Funny you should say that, but I've noticed,out cycling recently, a large amount of tyre tracks indicating doughnuts being executed by boyracers.
The most alarming of these was up by the old slate factory near Glenpatrick where the tyre tracks wandered back and forth across a solid white line coming up to the bends opposite the picnic site.
Now bad enough if they kill themselves and whoever is stupid enough to be in the car with them, but an inncocent driver could be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

bargain hunt

just wondering if anyone knows where i can get beef hearts . straight from the factory or something because it seems butchers always have a low supply.

Well if they are anything like the new Turkish (or at least I'm told he is turkish) lad in Walsh's? the original barber on the Narrow street, they wont be around for long. He doesnt seem to have a word of English. Just grunts or jestures and everyone, no matter what they ask for, comes away with the same Number 4 all around he has himself and clearly likes. He even takes some sort of a mini flame thrower to the back of your neck to burn off the hair rather than spend the time to shave it off. No way in hell I'm going into a shop full of those lads.

My father was into photography back in the sixties and he was friendly with a pro in Clonmel at the time. I believe the name was Keating. hth
