The mince and onion pies and sausage rolls were homemade and were unreal, owner by the Dunne family, straight across from the Regina

Sullys snooker club around the corner. No city square (only opened mid 1993). Open air car park on the far LHS of Arundel Sq.

dzilla wrote: » So the wimpy was where the brasserie was? This explains a lot. i always remembered the wimpy but it closed when i was young. In my late teens and 20s i used often be in the brasserie and id feel like i have been here before or like deja vu. That must have been the reason Wimpy is still an entity I believe, I have definitely seen them in other countries in recent years.

Opposite woolies which had a closing down sale in the late 80s.. Finns i think went to michael street after that for a few years. Opposite leahys i think.

I remember a greasy spoon type spot where you could sit down and have burgers and chips, during break time when I was in school. it was located where the Foundry is now, or somewhere very near there. Very nice food and not one of the most populated lunch time spots so you had a decent amount of time there. I wish i could remember the name but its gone, did that place exist or am i just dreaming??
