Denis Hayes bar. When the liffey would burst it's banks the water often reached as far as Denis Hayes' bar so when he was redoing it circa 1946 he had the lovely stained glass windows installed and a change of name. The new name matched the pub next door which was called then called The Full Tide.Wishbone Ash wrote: »The Flowing Tide is it's modern name.
Top marks to anyone who knows it's former name!

First pint in a pub (although had been served in local GAA club prior to that, but don't count that)was the Four Roads in Sundrive/Crumlin at the tender age of fifteen in late 1996(although accompanied by an adult so guess that doesn't really count either). First pub served without adult being there was in the Welcome Inn on Parnell St. in 1997 having just turned 16, visited a good few more that night and then had a burger in AbraKebara (the one were Centra is now on corner of Westmoreland St & Aston Quay- if I remember correctly, think a guy might have been stabbed there later that night!?).
What a great summer of boozing that was though! Got served just about everywhere in the city (well maybe not but did seem like it!): Liffey Bar, Eden Quay, Sean O'Casey's, Marlborough St., The Harp (what a kip that used to be!), where Q Bar now is, McGrath's, O'Connell St. (another classy joint!), O'Neill's, Suffolk Street, Dawson Lounge, Dawson st., Bowes, Fleet St., Stags Head, The Wellington, Baggot St., Kennedy's, Westland Row, to name a few. I was always very lucky in that I wasn't questioned that often about my age, was refused from a few places, but was very lucky indeed, maybe it was because the barmen respected the audacity of a young whipper snapper walking up to the bar and asking for "a nice pint of Guinness, please." 0 -

God bless your memory lads i can't remember it must have been a good night, i think probably the Happy Knacker on Collins Ave circa 1987.
I do remember where i bought my first flaggan though and where i stashed it though.
Us northsiders were more the out door type in the 80's
