Pubs reopening June 29th

[MerchantOfEnnis]

Yup - gone 10 years at least. Used be owned by one John Phelan, who'd also owned John Phelans on McCurtain Street (now subsumed into the Shelbourne), The Haven, and The Stadium Bar at various stages. Brilliant bar owner imho. Think he was from Laois or maybe Offaly and reputed to have been a good boxer in his day - probably light-heavyweight. Ran a great pub but alas for him a bit too fond of the cards.

I can well remember having a few pints down stairs in The Left Bank and playing Don with John against two other punters. Place had no natural light and smelt a bit like the dank cellar that it was.

I did a bit of research there and it turns out The Left Bank isn't actually on Pope's Quay, but Farran's Quay, which may be the shortest Quay in Cork?

It goes from the taxi joint on the corner where Shandon Street starts, to where the Left Bank was.

I'd never heard of Farran's Quay before

Diageo putting up the price of pints now too. Small enough increases in fairness although no doubt some will lose the rag over it.

At least Diageo products are worth paying for, unlike swill like Heino and Beamo

Ah Murphy’s is far superior to Guinness. Heineken far better than Bud and Carlsberg too.

Farren's Quay goes from Brown's Hill which I'm fairly sure is the shortest hill in Cork, to the North Gate Bridge.

Don't think Farran's Quay is the shortest quay in Cork btw. I think that accolade belongs to Wyse's Quay on the other end of the North Mall. Not much in it mind.
