What's wrong with a good pint of Murphy's?

I remember going in there after games in Muzzer in the 1980s. It was a bit of a kip back then too. A pity really because it's in an excellent location.

It's by the Lough FFS!!!

Place is full of southsiders taking their annual ablutions or skulling cans and/or toking; feral kids; and bird shit!

That incident you were involved in inside the old red brick toilets left a scar on you, both physically and metaphorically,

To those who know, there's nothing better. To those who don't, it can be very difficult to explain.

As someone who recently sampled a lot of Belgian beers, some very nice, some meh, and some that were not nice at all but part of the tasting that "had to be done", I crave the satisfaction of having a good pint of Murphy's when the weather's not too hot. Just the whole experience; the smoothness of the taste, the flavour of it all, the way it goes down so wonderfully well, and holds its body even as it diminishes in volume down the glass. It's one of the simple pleasures in life.

I'd put a good pint of Murphy's against any beer or stout I've ever drunk. And added to this there's the satisfaction of knowing it's keeping a Corkman (or woman) employed.

You wish jimmy!

That incident unsurprisingly involved two southsiders and a number of southside hospitals if the stories are to be believed.

Were you a regular of the Ardmanning? I remember the Colonels lounge

Used to attend a number of pool and darts finals out there. Surprised the place closed tbh but in retrospect the fact it was always jammers when I was there was probably only because of the pool and darts matches.

Presumably many of the clientelle went to the Harp or the DoYou Inn subsequently

Does the Harp bar sell Harp lager?

Thanks lads ,
That font originated in the late 50s ,very few examples left nationwide ,
Very happy with the result -king sign in Douglas did it ,
The odd good thing comes out of there

Is that where the OLD Bodega used to be - kinda opposite Delacey House and under Kelly's Kitchen?

There used be a brilliant double act "Dee and Willum" who used to sing in John Phelans on McCurtain Street in the 1980s, where the Shelbourne is now, that used have a saying
"If you want to go dancing - go to the Bodega, if you want to go singing, come to John Phelan's"

Right or wrong, the impression given was the dancing in the Bodega may have been of the horizontal variety.

There's no difference between most pints and if you think there is you're out of it. They're just fiddling with the knobs to fuck it up or make it good. There's a reason Ireland has the best men, women and non-binary bar workers in the world.

I'd say it all comes out of three petrol tanks beneath the bars. Lager, Stout and Wanker. Wankers pay more.
