"Omnibus" or "bus" - pub/bar near Drumcondra, Dublin, early 60s

mihalk

Does anyone know of a pub or bar near Drumcondra, Dublin called the Bus or Omnibus (or perhaps a name with a similar meaning)?
My grandfather used to go drinking there. My mother (not from Dublin) said it had very simple benches and tables.

All tips on finding, and even memories of the place most welcome :)

Slightly sideways suggestion - Bushes? The pub currently called Juno on Dorset Street.

Not aware of anything else it could be.

rendezvous pub in beaumont?

Cross Guns Inn (now The Bald Eagle) was Bushe's for a long time as will.

Thanks for all of your suggestions - I think Bushes is the answer.

It seems to be the Bald Eagle/Cross Guns now (and not the Red Parrot/Juno?)

Based on that time period, probably that one; but multiple pubs can have the same name. The Auld Triangle was also called Bushes in the 50s but is probably too far.

The Red Parrot was at Binn's Bridge, not Cross Guns Bridge.
