    How about the Manhattan cafe?

    It's been around as a nite-time greasy spoon since the early 60's.

    Yes, though under different management who did the unthinkable and ripped out what was the endearing thing about Sherie's, it's fake-o American diner style, complete with counter.

    Wonder if anyone has any memories of eating at the Skylon Hotel in Glasnevin in the seventies? I know it opened in 1970, and I know there was a restaurant there.

    I'm writing a book at the moment - and it would be very useful to know the name of the restaurant, really any detail that you can recall

    Many thanks

    G.

    If you're willing to count a chipper with tables you can sit at, Fusciardi's off Lower Liffey Street claims to have been open since 1937.

    I was gonna say there must be some ancient enough chippers around, Beshoff claim to be on the go since 1913 but I suppose have had loads of premises changes?

    The Lord Edward is a pub (ground floor) and restaurant (same ownership, different staff) on the 2nd floor. As for age - its been a fish speciality restaurant (in the 5 star price league) since the late 60s. Great pub, good restaurant.
