Roughest pub you've ever been in

What’s your problem?

ha ha…straight in to fight for your man… :lol:

whats the name of that pub in ennistymon where the travllers go

The Dunph = Funny
Scumpot = Not Funny

was in the brige i think its called thats right beside the sunset house one day after an ireland game in croke park…there was young kids running in and out if the pub acting the maggot and the barman came out from behind the bar with a hammer and chased them out…rough enough spot oldish crowd though…one of the lads let a stinker of a fart at one stage and an oul one lost the head and around shouted at him " get out ya dirty rotten bastard"…

The Bridge Tavern…the pub down past that on your way to ballybough is actually 10 times worse than that…can’t remember the name of it…makes the sunset and the Bridge tavern look like cafe en seine…

Scumpot is only a thug.

I was in a place in the Chinese quarter (or whatever its called, possibly Chinatown, obviously) in Boston one night at about 3am (having what they euphimistically called “Tea”). Bloke comes up to me at the bar with a sports bag “Hey buddy” says my new found american friend “wanna buy a gun?”. Now I’m not great with guns, being blind in one eye and not capable of shooting a large fish enconsed in a barrel. But intrigued, I agreed to a look. Nestled in many parts inside the bag was an AK-47. “Its not a Kalashnikov” sayd Blaine, my new armed friend “Its an AK-47, so its the real deal”. “Hoew much” sayd I. “$550” says he. Cheap at half the price, I thought, but passed. He wasn’t very happy. Why he thought a 19 year old Irish student would need a semi automatic rifle is byond me. Mind you, I was in WRTC at the time, and I did have to pass by Ballybeg every day.

5 minutes later there was shooting ourside the front door of the pub.

Flano, mate of yours?

This guy Blaine sounds a bit unknowledgeable about firearms, Fitzy.

He was a bit alright SS, when I asked had he any ammo, he told me I’d have to go to Wal Mart for that. I could of course have asked MBB if one of his sniper mates with the M50 had any to spare. If the internet had been invented in 1991 and MBB had been born that is.

Ahoy the Haven , the last job i worked in Ireland was the st johns ambulance centre across the road in 93 . Plenty winos out the the back drinkink cans , bottles & setting fire to 4 by 2`s off the job . Up yours Mccarthy & woulfe .

I know the bar, i know the pitch and now I know you :smiley:

Have drank in the Bridge Tavern after hurling matches and stayed till closing, great spot… rough, but great. The Barry McGuigan mirror is the best bit of pup memerobilia ever.

Night Club in the Red Cow of a Sunday night used to rough… lived in Clondalkin for a while and end up there a fair bit… sticky carpet, women tougher then the men. Drank in Finches in Neilstown a few times as well… had its moments.

The Chicken Ranch in Ballybeg could also be intimidating if you didnt know the lay of the land. Worlds End in Kilkenny isnt too pretty either.

The Jolly Buffer in Sheffield isn’t a pub i shall be visiting again anytime soon.

One half of the place was occupied by gentlemen of West Indian extraction smoking dope while the other half was full of a biker gang also smoking dope.

The two sets of lads were in the middle of a simmering feud over something.

Needless to say my pint was necked and a sharp exit followed.

Sorry Fisty, I may not remember All Ireland hurling finals from the early 70’s but I do recall the 90’s.

Matt Murphy’s is the pub across from Luigi’s, pretty much directly across from Joe McKenna’s shop…knew i should have trusted my gut interest rather than listening to some blow in from mid limerick

THis is the pub I was on about. Which is Mary Murphys:

I think the pub is/was called “Alfies” and it was down by the Shamrock in Carlow. They’d have promotions when the college year would start, £1 a pint stuff like that but the place was always full of natives and fights would nearly always break out. If you didn’t know the lay of the land you would be certain of some sort of aggro.

On the main street in Ballbriggan I was in a pub last year, rough out. Bar in the front and pool room out the back, dog rough, don’t remember the name though.

There was a rough looking crowd in Charlies the last time i was in there, i was lucky to come out of it with my life…

In Cork? Its an early house, so anything is possible.
