    Little game - name a pub/club/shop and the next person must give it a name it used to have before. That person then names a place etc etc etc.

    This could very easily be on the 2nd page within a day :)

    Start with a pretty easy one - The Bowery used to be called......

    Mollies was the old name of Bar Rumba.

    The old name of the small bar on the left as you go in the door of the Bróg ?

    Ya, but I am unsure whether he means the mardyke complex or the Mardyke Tavern.

    We will assume the complex.

    Moving on....

    Reardens (pub not the entire complex) used to be called.....

    Nope, afraid not. The Touchdown was the name of it up to around 2001/2002 - it was called something after that before it went to Hanleys. I have calls out on it and waiting the actual name, pretty sad.
