Paddy's was called the Whiff n Poof? Lol wtf.

Was that a pub?

Absolutely. I think it's an old army term. The owner was ex-army and I think his name was John O'Callaghan (?). After that he owned a pub up by Coburg Street, across from the mighty Hilton where a woman who must have been in her 60's was cracking on to me once. I was 40 fecking years younger than her. Still, sometimes wondered about the experienced woman angle.........

Originally called The Commodore I believe. The building nextdoor was also an RIC Barack.

Used to get dinner in there every day on my lunch breaks from the school across the road. Mid 70s iirc.

I was digging into plates of beef stroganoffs and the likes for free while the classmates were eating sugar sandwiches lol.

The aul lady worked there so they spoiled me rotten
