Pubs that are no more in Cork

It's not a free promo if he's getting pints in return

Was that where Route 14 is now?

Celias was situated at the end of Forge Hill. It had been in the procession of the Neville family before it was sold on. The premises
came to grief shortly after. It had been a great bowling pub back the years and, due to it's strategic location, wasn't subject to the strictures of Holy Hour.

All I remembered was a pool table, which is impressive considering how fucked I was.

Rumples is now the Abbot Ale House but used to be The Devonshire Arms which I had a soft spot for as it was my late old man's local in town. Dennis the owner used to top my glasses of Coke with a dash of Guinness so I could feel like a man. Surprised I didn't develop asthma given the amount of time I spent in pubs as a child.

I remember that now, Rumplestilskins. I'd forgotten that

I quite like The Bru Bar. Nice on a week night. Live music too. Craft beers etc

Cork Arms is another personal favourite, with a pool table and jukebox. Could buy some grub from the Fishwife as well and eat it in the Cork Arms before it shut down.

Sextant and Marina bar, remember the odd owner of the latter

The Exchange Bar up near the Butter Exchange. A truly wonderful bar. It was mainly peopled, other than by locals, serious aficionados of brass band music. Myself and my late friend used to walk from the Southside to savour the delights of a great establishment.

Years back on a Sunday session that started out in Turners Cross, we ended up in Rumplestiltskins to try this new 12% beer they had. Mank but I was wasted. We headed for the Roundy. A friend carried me through Pana on his back, couldn't even hold onto his shoulders. Basically he held my legs around his waist as I hung upside down with my hands trailing the footpath. Wasn't even late so fuck knows what passers by must have thought. Anyhoo, I just about made myself presentable at the Roundy, and I got in. My good mate didn't. Not healthy for a few days after. I do remember a pool table though, which is always a sign of a rough house.

Where was that and roughly what years circa, please? Was that the one with the sandwich menu, compile your own sandwiches

I think it was where White Rabbit is now. The front had the doors/full length windows along the front that opened up. About twenty-ish years ago.

Another character (heh heh) pub gone to be replaced by a hilarious construction

Blackpool bar to be knocked to build 7-storey apartment block under new plans

The former pub would be demolished and replaced with 22 new apartments under plans for "much needed social housing" in Blackpool
