Bar in kent station

[fabvinny]

Lads,was there at one time,or am i imagining it, that there was a bar in kent station?
I thought there was a bar/restaurant there at one stage,and could swear i drank pints there waiting for a train!!
Era im thinking of is late 80's??

 

[fytaan]

Yes, didn't realize it was gone.

 

[rubbish mouth breath]

last time I was in there a fella went berzerk, threw pint glasses at the staff and other customers, went behind the bar to attack a member of staff and tried throw an examiner sign throughthe ticket window... it had shit food anyways. you'd be better off eating a homelesses toejam.

 

[richiepurg]

Yes , remember it well , the dreariest , most depressing pub you'd ever set your feet in.

thanks guys,was beginning to think i had imagined it being there!!
had some quite nice underage pints there!!

It was still there in the early nineties, a place of last resort for sure. It was like something from The Twilight Zone or Sapphire & Steel, time had stopped and everything was oddly stale

Good Friday you had to have a train ticket to get past the Bouncer on the door. They would sell hundreds of tickets for little island, and at the end of the Day people would look for a refund saying they had changed their minds and not travelled.
Every alco and bum from Cork and beyond would be in there.

I remember that Bar/cafe. It had wonderful frescoes (?)/paintings on the walls of open air trains back in the 1800's.

And plaques from train companies all over Europe.
I really liked the place.

Does anyone know is it still open?

no,not there anymore.
loads of people who were born and reared in the city tried to persuade me that there was never a bar there!!
