They used to sell waterford crystal etc from what I can remember....

They opened it after they moved out of the building on Partrick's Street that Jack & Jones were in. They used to be a high end jeweller when they were on Patrick's street. AFAIK they still have a opticians along the quays

I'm presuming that 'Oldport' isn't worth a guess?

And the Courthouse (maybe not Tavern) before that. Yes the bar on the other side is/was called The Courthouse Tavern - that came after.

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.

This used to be called The Brog Maker when the Rebel Bar Group had it.

I have many happy memories of what used to be in the shop that is now Evans/ Dorothy Perkins on Patrick st ...

AugustusMinimus · 14-02-2013 12:38AM

Anyone able to name some of the shops that were in the old Savoy or the old Queens Old Castle ?

I barely remember either. Both had a big café plod in the centre. I remember Hickeys home furnishings being in a horseshoe shape in the Savoy where you could look down on top of the Café.

VanillaLime · 14-02-2013 12:55AM

Here's a link to some pics of Cork taken in Jan 1981, brings back fond memories of being taken to see the Christmas lights as a child! Includes one of the Queens Old Castle. Mary Rose was the cafe I think?

You can see some of the old shops in Patrick St in some pics, remember Saxone & Bolgers?

Curly, I have a vague memory of Topshop being where Evans is at one point but not sure what else? I know I should remember!

For going out, DeLacy House was the place to be when I was in college and first going out in town!

Anyone remember what Havana Browns was called in the early 90s? Used to go there a lot!

Also anyone remember what Cubins was called before?? Late 80s, very early 90s. Slightly before my time!

There was a computer shop called Tomorrows World in the Queens Old Castle. I remember heading in there regularly to look at the Commodore 64 games and very rarely be able to buy one. God that is well over 25 years ago now.

I remember Celtic Knot that was in the Savoy. They did lovely pieces with etchings in copper. It was great for presents. I think Mary Rose was the restaurant in there.
I think I remember the Queens Old Castle as a Penneys or something similar. Now that was a long time ago [ie 70s]:eek:

Noddys toy shop used to be in the Queens Old Castle - aaah I spent many a happy hour in there looking at all the toys :pac:

Well there goes the idea of the thread

Anyway, a friend of mine worked in Virgin.

In their stock area, the old clown that in part of Burgerland in the QOC is still there. Freaky as f**k I'm told.

Havannas was The Globe. It was also Nite Owls and The Pump House. And Erotic City. I think Havannas is an amalgamation of all of them.

Was in The Globe one night to see a DJ from America. He wouldn't stop playing. It was 3am and eventually the Gardai came in to clear it. Fun times.

the beer revolu · 14-02-2013 10:25AM

Pat Eagan's record shop used to be in QOC, maybe Savoy too.
Java Joes were in QOC for a while, then relocated to where Les Gourmandises is now. Beshoff posh chipper was briefly upstairs in QOC.
Mary Rose was in QOC and Savoy.

horgan_p · 14-02-2013 11:04AM

The banana shop was in the QOC , almost like a head shop before there were head shops.
"exotic" rolling papers , funny shaped pipes ,that sort of thing.

What used that place be called?
