Roughest pub you've ever been in

from my experience, women aren’t usually that repulsed by bondage.

The pub I went drinking in Holyhead the day sizing John won the gold cup was incredibly rough.

Two sound brothers running it. One served in Iraq I think.

Used to come Dublin for bare knuckling boxing.

I could tell 3 or 4 hall of fame stories from the day including an elvis lookalike getting warned to be complaining about the lady boy that blew him out the back of the pub.

It was the Dublin in. I went looking up to see how they were going in the post Covid era:

Your life must have been excruciatingly beige and risk-averse until you got the internet connection installed at the farm.

Went to a pub in Stoneybatter a few times before it became “cool”.
One of the regulars was referred to as “Dangerous Brian”

I used to frequent an earlyhouse on Moore St called Trader John’s many moons ago. The bartender ended up taking on the lease on the Deer’s Head on Parnell St, and the Windjammer I believe after that. It was populated by thieves, some who’d shoplift around town who’d come in and shift their wares afterwards, and those who traded in other illegal industries. I remember a character and his group one early afternoon who were celebrating what was rumoured to be a cash-in-transit robbery on the teletext/aertel newspage they demanded to leave on the pub TV whilst he sang Sinatra’s ‘My Way’ whilst intermittently stopping to powder his nose from a tin full of an unconfirmed white substance. A chaotic shop, at times. Fighting was not that common, as most people knew better.

The most important time to stay quiet about a coup is afterwards, these lads never understand that. It’s like the Monk now, tipping around Dublin.

They’d rob a bank and then get done for not paying bus fare on the way home with the loot in tow.

A donkey once got sick in a pub in Miltown during Paddies day. They brought him out of the parade. G

I have to say I lol’d out loud at that

There’s a rumour a fella got buried under it.
