Tramco the end of an era!!

heybaby

Just passed my old haunt Tramco an hour ago (saturday morning 1am), and alas the place has shut down, had a look in the window and everthing is covered with white sheets. Sign of the times perhaps, but it never recovered from when it shut down for almost a year about 6 years ago and reopened in is current state.

I shared many a 'white russian' cocktail with my now husband in that place at 2am on a Friday morning. For some reason every time we'd go there - normally whilst stumbling home from town - we'd drink those particular cocktails. I was convinced the milk in them aided your hangover :rolleyes:

I remember when that place was Streets, complete with shaky bannister. I enjoyed many an underage beverage in that joint and eyed up all the lads I used to fancy the pants off from Mary's.

What a blast from the past! That was my old stomping ground back in the day. There was another bar where Rathgar Road meets Rathmines Road that we used to frequent (that I can't remember for the life of me) which was the scene of much drunken shenanigans.

The one over on the right (if standing facing up Rathgar Road)? It was just up from Slatterys (loved that pub) which was on the corner?

If so, I am now destined to spend all afternoon trying to find out the name as I can't remember it either...

This one I mean:

That's the one but it was called something else when I used to go there.

Slattery's is a great little place too.

Good times.

That's right, that was it!
I rarely went there - maybe a handful of times and whilst 'Grace's' sounded familiar, I too could have sworn it was called something different...

Rathmines/Rathgar had some good drinking spots. Best of the bunch though had to be Streets and as mentioned above I loved (still do when I'm home) Slatterys but as a female you always felt a bit like a hooker who has hiked her skirt up to her boobs and had no knickers on when you'd walk in there.. just for the initial 2 or so minutes...

Death by Toast!

Can't say I'm too sad either. Last time I walked past there on the way home some lad was attempting to pick up a construction barrier and throw it at someone. Was pretty funny.
