Was it in a few times on a Saturday night and I was the only one in it. A kip of a place. I heard why, but I'm saying nothing ;)

The Bottom Bar? aye that'd be right - full of drunken West Dungannon bums no doubt....nuff said

On the subject of shitholes - Can't be many worse than Frankie O'Neills in Bunboran (gone now) - some characters about though. 

Anyone ever been to "the Drake" near Mullingar? i half expected livestock to wander through

Pub in Killough Co Down the Anne Boal Inn, named after its owner at the time
I knew the people that owned it. Poor Anne died in a terrible depression shortly after her fiance was shot dead in the bar. The whole community was shocked. I new her brother and he went to work the day after the killing. They thought he was in shock but when asked was he OK he said "ah sure these things happen!"

Had a friend that used to frequent "The Dieing Cow" ... somewhere in the mountains of Wicklow or Carlow. If the other customers were anything like him it would have been some spot.
