    What sort of tales are you after?

    It used to be that singing a song in there would get you barred, but there is now new management: I'm told it's run by the son of a (now deceased) man who's name is still on a bar/hotel in Eyre Square.

    Despite it being an old man's pub, there are a few women who go there. There's a pool table in the back, near the women's toilets .. and the other week a sign went up saying that any man found using the women's toilets will be barred from the pool table for life. (Not the pub mind, just the table ;) )

    Feck ya JM. You have my head addled now. Only family hotel on The Square I can think of still has a 'reasonably' alive owner.

    I like the barring notice though :-D

    Cathal only ran Garveys, his deceased brother Frank was the original owner. Assuming thats who we are talking about.

    An old favourite of mine but haven't been in it in a while. It reminds me of what pubs used to be like.

    It's popular with locals and normally has a bit of an older crowd. They usually have betting slips from the bookie's next door at the bar too for those of us who like a flutter....:)
