Why did salthill die such a death as a boozing and gallivanting hot-spot?
It got rough. Was dead for year but was hitting the big time again pre covid, albeit much more of a high society feel about it these days
When did it die around what year?
I’m not so sure I’d go as far as to say hitting the big time, but it was becoming more popular as the gaelscoil brigade adopted swimming in blackrock as the new cafe latte.
It was finished by the students transferring their allegiance into town. As the standard late night venue, I’d reckon by the late nineties it was done
The night Bogarts shut its doors
Farewell angels

But they were good times. The Castle, O’Connor’s, Ruby Tuesday.
