Pubs that are no more in Cork

[Hank Scorpio]

Happy days in The Swan. I was sorry to see it go. Certainly an institution for those of us from the Northside
The Roundy House hasn't changed all that much other than become a bit more gentrified.
Ah Hickey's - a lot of the time the red background lighting was most appropriate
Trying to remember Cliffords though I might have known it as something else

I was up north and wasn’t in the roundy for 10 years- or in Cork for 7 plus and in walks my best mate Kevin Jones( Easons hill)
Was in the states and Oz for years

All I heard was “ FFS you’re still here?”
No words safe to say his ol doll left us at it after an hour of reminiscing and boring the life out of her

I was in there once on a Christmas pub crawl from work I think. Didn't know the name over the door but it was a spit-and-sawdust-on-the-ground kinda place. Where that jewelry shop is on the corner.

I remember the Cubiculo alright. Went through a few names before closing its doors.

Can't quite remember any other boozer on Winthrop Street other than the valley. Speaking of which I can remember Humphry (God be good to him) vaulting the bar when a few of us started singing down at the back. He didn't bar us or anything because we were regulars but he left us in no doubt that there would be NO singing in the Long Valley. Was in there recently and Jimmy Crowley and a few fellow musicians were in pride of place lashing out various songs (including The Boys of Kilmichael) while Humphry's son was behind the bar. And the pints are a lot better in there too. Changed days.

New Roundy used to be one of the cheaper watering holes in town for a pint of Murphy's.

I played my first ever gig there when it was Cubiculo. It went on to be An Caman Inn afterwards, and then closed down. The signage is still on the front of the pub
