An BrĂłg is still there. Barbarossa is next door and taking up one half of what used to be An BrĂłg.

Yep, had a few noble pints there before the Villagers gig the other evening. Never knew that it was popular with the gay community.
Iâd a lovely pint sitting outside there back in the summer. A grand spot to watch Cork city go by.

An BrĂłg used to have an awful auld smell of bleach in the place. I remember going to a good few gigs down there around 15/16 years ago but then they stopped doing gigs (change of management?)

Iâm disappointed my pun above was ignored.
A man wearing just a pair of shorts when he was arrested after a sustained period of roaring abuse at his landlord has been given up to six months to leave the property after being sentenced for his behaviour in the incident.
Conor Galvin, of the Old Farm House, Ballyporeen in Rossbarbery, West Cork, pleaded not guilty to a public order charge, to being intoxicated and to trespass at the home of his landlord at Ballyporeen on August 20 last.
Garda Denis Kerrisk of Clonakilty Garda Station played CCTV footage from the home of Mr Martin Collins, Mr Galvinâs landlord, which he said showed Mr Galvinâs behaviour as he trespassed at Mr Collinsâ home.
Garda Kerrisk told Judge James McNulty that he responded after 5pm that day to a call from Mr Collins alleging that Mr Galvin, 44, was trespassing and behaving in a highly aggressive manner.
Garda Kerrisk said when he arrived, Mr Galvin was only wearing a pair of shorts, that he appeared to be under the influence of an intoxicant and was âhyperâ and threatening towards gardaĂ.
He told the court Mr Galvin said âI am going to sue all you fuckersâ and âdonât you know who I am?â. He also shouted abuse about Mr Collins and was arrested at 5.50pm. The court heard he had to be handcuffed due to his erratic behaviour and that he lashed out at gardaĂ.
Garda Richard Casey also gave evidence as to Mr Galvinâs behaviour.
Victim testimony
Mr Collins, in evidence, said he had suffered a stroke and that his wife was convinced it was due to Mr Galvin, who he said he had been trying to get to leave the property for some time. The court heard the matter has been before the Residential Tenancies Board and that Mr Galvin is scheduled to leave in January 2022.
Mr Collins said Mr Galvin was âroaring and screechingâ for more than 30 minutes before gardaĂ were contacted. âHe was saying he would do every sort of thing,â he told the judge.
âWe have three years of it,â he said of problems with Mr Galvin. âMy wife canât walk the road, and my neighbour, because they are afraid of him.â
Defendant testimony
In cross-examination, Mr Galvin - defending himself - asserted that he was on his own property, bar two periods of less than a minute when he said he was calling over to a neighbourâs house near Mr Collinsâ home, having been invited.
Mr Galvin said he had audio recordings of the incident and that he had sent them to gardaĂ, the DPP, GSOC and the Courts Service, though no recordings were produced in evidence in court. Mr Galvin also claimed that he had been physically and verbally assaulted at an early stage and said he was â100% innocentâ.
After checking the authenticity of the Bible in court, he told the Judge in evidence that what the gardaĂ and Mr Collins had said was "the biggest, elaborate pack of lies I have ever heard.
The whole thing is fake.
Judge McNulty said he was satisfied the evidence of gardaĂ and Mr Collins was truthful and convicted Mr Galvin, who had 12 previous convictions, on all charges.
He fined Mr Galvin âŹ200 on the public intoxication charge and another âŹ400 on the public order charge and sentenced him to 60 days in prison on the trespass charge, suspended for 12 months on certain conditions, including that he keep the peace with regard to Mr Collins and his family and that he leave his current residence within the next six months.
