I'm just sorry I missed it 🤨

As an aside there is definitely a few spots on parnell st where you can get in late, have something to eat and a glass of plonk/baijou/antifreeze til the wee hours. Were hopping during covid and have heard secondhand that its still going on fri/sat night.

All entirely below board, and below street level as well apparently…

It was on Charlotte Street but it doesnt exist anymore. Built over in the early 90s. Its now the hotel etc.

Old street was roughly as below.

To the left of the Bleeding Horse.

L1011

There is a pastiche street sign of it on the side of the EY building, where the street would have been, but it's now faded nearly entirely illegible.

There’s also the Hideout pub, a local pub in Campbells Row off the NCR, down from The Big Tree and across the road from Phil Ryan’s. It’s been there a long time. My aunt worked in a company on Russell St in the 90’s and I remember she went to one or other of those places for lunch so she wouldn’t have to cook dinner in the evening 🤣

My aunt said the night life in Dublin was fantastic in the 70/80/90s with so many music venues and clubs. One of her cousins was in a band and he knew all the late night places around the city including the Manhattan - they called it Aunty May’s. There were loads of late places you could get food, all frequented by late night workers finishing a shift, taxi drivers, printers, nurses, musicians or anyone involved in entertainment. Alcohol was available in lots of restaurants and hotels and definitely in Aunty May’s but, only for regulars and from under the counter, spirits or wine, all served in mugs with the fry and buttered toast.

it's interesting to read there are still this hideout places. I thought it wouldn't be possible after corona and the ever improving mass surveillance.

It was such a great experience mid 00 years, holidaying at the west coast, going into a pub (not an illegal one) in the evening and then at 11:30 we weren't thrown out but the owner locked the door and shutters down..I was: wtf is going on??? My friends explained for sure. Dimmed lights, muffled voices. At some stage a severe ssshhhh warning to be completely quiet. The guard was passing outside. Our bikes parked directly infront of the pub.😁😁 Nothing happened, everything secretely accepted. Had to get out through the backdoor. One of the best experiences, I will never forget that.
