Twas from an interview with guy running Frank Ryanâs pub down there
Iâd say thatâs an owl yarn. Sure Frank Ryanâs isnât even in Stoneybatter.
A stones throw
Frank Ryanâs is in Smithfield. Stoneybatter only goes from Peacocks/Kavanaghs to the Belfry. Sure the markets he was on about were never considered to be part of Stoneybatter - they were Prussia Street, where Drumalee is now. There is a lot of imaginary stretching of Stoneybatter now because it is cool. A bit like Glasnevin in days gone by.

About 25 years ago iirc. MBB is better placed to confirm or deny. Paycock is an absolute legend.

It was Gerry Kavanaghs pub originally. Gerry who also had Kavanaghs on the Malahide road. Noel Peacock bought it off of him 25-30 years ago. Tommy OâGara who owns Tommyâs further down the road was originally a barman there
