And another one nearby that I remember was the Charlotte Inn - the whole bloomin' street is gone now, never mind the pub!
Charlotte Way used to run up the middle of the block where the Bleeding Horse and Camden Court Hotel are now.
(O/T but does anyone else remember Stein Opticians holding out till the very very VERY last minute, while the whole neighbourhood was knocked down around them
) 2 -

An Beal Bocht, for gaiscioch.
Wow. That's the nearest thing I've ever come to time travel! I was going to say in the op that it was green and white but I thought my memory was failing me as they seemed odd colours for a pub. Amazing period-capturing photo. Thanks.
Memories of my own denim jacket and the music bands' names I got sowed onto the back of them, and downstairs in Sound Cellar on Nassau Street are coming back too0 -

This post from a little while back should be helpful. There's a link at the bottom of the post that gives more information about the opticians.1 -

Mahaffy's on Pearse St was a great boozer. Now sadly replaced with the insipid Lomdard Bar.
Back in the day there was a great mix of locals (who were probably barred from The Windjammer), Trinity students, commuters waiting for trains, etc. The manager was a stout camp gent with an awful wig who had great one-liners to put down any uppity customers. Jim was his next in command. A long suffering professional bar man who was a real gentleman.
They used to do carvery lunches & I remember sitting next to Howard Jones one day (he was probably recording in Windmill Lane at the time). Both of us having gone for pints of stout with our bacon, cabbage & potatoes with parsley sauce.
Strangely enough, I 'ejected' Howard's brother Paul from The Bricklayer's Arms in High Wycombe several years later.

Gleesons too was a great spot on a Friday evening back in the day.0 -
I remember Toast in Rathmines being a little pub called The Lancer. Also near it (where the apartment complex and shops are now) was a gigs place called Banjos? Also Roddy Bolands was called Streets back then (80s).
Oh my goodness, now you're REALLY bringing me back! That was my secondary-school stomping ground.
The Lancer was a "meh" little pub, don't remember too much about it. Banjo's was a pool hall - not sure if that's the place you're actually thinking of as I'm fairly sure it wasn't a pub - but we "went to evening mass" there every Sunday for about five years. I became quite the pool shark on the back of it!
Streets came into being in my time and was fierce trendy, it used to be The Concorde before that, which was a sticky-carpets total kip. But was the only place in the whole area (and possibly the southside of the city!) that opened on St. Stephen's Day at the time. And it still wasn't worth it 0 -

Would this be the same Jim that then went on to run it's later incarnation as Mahaffys?The Hill Billy wrote: »MacPherson's on Pearse St was a great boozer. Now sadly replaced with the insipid Lomdard Bar.

Great place, and an absolutely lovely man. Used go there a lot in college.0 -

Yeah, Mahaffy's not McPherson's. Doh! Am getting old. Will edit earlier post. Thanks Crash!
That place used to be O'Dwyers's.
They did a nice carvery in the 80s.0 -

Almost certain I went to a gig in banjos around 88 or 89 so perhaps it was an earlier or later incarnation of the place.
The Lancer was just an old boy boozer that would have been the size of the front section of Toast. Think Toast was called the station for a bit too.
Can anybody remember what the Dice Bar on Benburb / Queen street was years ago? I actually lived in a squatted building for a little while around there up towards the museum.0 -
