If only the real O’Donoghues got wiped out
Haven’t stood in O’Donogues in 2 decades. Had 3 pints there tonight and the place is still an authentic kip.
Some other cunt paid for it
Only the 15.
Another ‘up it’s own hole’ landmark Dublin pub. The Gravediggers and Mulligans have similar notions and similarly cuntish barmen.
I was in O’Donohoe’s a few years ago with a work guy over from the US. We were in the part where they had loads of foreign banknotes signed and stuck on the wall. The barman was a complete dickhead when we asked about signing and adding one.
I’m with the barman on this one
Probably trying to lash out 50 pints a minute and some dull yank going on about signing a dollar and there hundreds of them on the wall already.
The Long Hall is another.
I’m struggling to decide if it’s lads being hipsters or just old in their hatred of seemingly all of Dublin’s landmark pubs.
Sadly I’d say it’s a mix of old and the 2 years off due to the pandemic. Dublin has changed enormously in the past 2/3 years. Almost none of it for good.
I’d agree that the halcyon days are over, but we’ve got to play with the hand we’ve been dealt with.
The alternative is to just give up.
I totally agree and with hopefully a good summer in the offing maybe we could all fall in love with the place again.
This place is just full of cynical, grumpy old cunts who have been institutionalized into drinking their 6 cans of Heino while the wife drinks a few glasses of wine watching Tommy Tiernan, Dermot Bannon, Claire Byrne. Miriam, Tubs etc. depending on what night of the week it is.
Throw in the Damer and Briodys there and he’s got the full set
I’ve said it before young pal, but you offer a lovely window to my old drinking days. I saw some cunt on Twitter saying a while back that having friends in your forties is just sending each other WhatsApp messages arranging to meet in 5 or 6 weeks, and how right they were. My next social engagement with my bessiers is the Ireland-Belgium game on Saturday 26 March when we’ll meet up at lunchtime ahead of the 5.30pm kick-off. Maybe have a steak in Asador and a few pints in The 51 and then back to The 51 afterwards. This has been arranged via messages sent on WhatsApp over the past 5 or 6 weeks.
Roy Curtis has destroyed lads.
Case rested
Throw in the Damer and Briodys there and he’s got the full set
Winding up the Brigids lads…You’re an awful man ,
What’s worse is being in your early 40s and having no kids. Social life decimated and no funny videos to post on social media.
Preciously. I was hammered by two cork based posters For enjoying a sing song in Dingle last summer after coming out of lock down.
