Matters regarding Limerick, Limerick Pubs, No Culture allowed

We used to go to stix a good bit while killing time to get the 5:30pm bus out of town on a Saturday. Great to kill an hour or two and you would feel like a right tough nut walking through Nicholas street as a group of unsupervised 14/15 year olds.

Good thing none of the locals youths never started on us or we might have shit our pants

Besides the windmill where are the old school day drinking spots nowadays?

Arthurs Quay Park, the Canal Bank, the Corbally Baths and the Peopleā€™s Park.

Iā€™m not sure, itā€™s gone through a few incarnations, today it was brand as ā€œA licenced Coffee Houseā€ but was shut.

Twisted Jimmys was the last name over the door, closed again now. The Rock is supposed to be shut too, yer man had no licence and revenue went after him.

Fuckit Iā€™m having a right giggle here, is it aromat? I worked with a salt of the earth Limerick lad about ten years ago and he never shut up about stixx and the special seasoning they put on the chips, itā€™s well out of my way so I never had anything from there, brilliant that it was aromat.

Another place Iā€™ve never had anything from is stuffins on Mulgrrave street, whatā€™s that like?

It certainly looked shut.

He has to open it every now and again or lose the licence I think?

It is said that they invented curry chips around 1985.

Their facebook page doesnā€™t suggest they are shut anyway :grin:

Interesting, when did curry become a staple on chippers menus, in Cork it was always mushy peas, first curry chips I can recall would have been late 80s

I know of a place that operates a similar type setup.

From what I could tell at the time it was a mixture of aromat and salt

Paying tax is for mugs

Is that mother macs a cunt hole?

From what I heard he was serving away with no licence for over a year, then got behind with the banks and the whole house of cards came down. Itā€™s a members only affair now maybe

What the fuck is Aromat?

One day of the year only to keep the licence.

I was on about the Mucky Duck/ Dick Devines/De-vans thereā€¦
