Funfair Amusements Arklow

Anyone ever been in this place on main street?

What is it?

Doesn't seem like the most inviting place. Doors are always closed over!

I was in it once about 10 years ago as a young teenager. It's an arcade about half gambling machines and half gaming machines if I can remember correctly.

I was always told it had a bad clientele but looking back now I wonder if that was just my parents just trying to keep me away from the place.

Funfair is the one across from the park. Its like Dr. Quirkeys inside it, slots and poker machines, might have a pool table.

Went in there one night after a few drinks. Seems like a depressing smelly place. moreso than other gambling places.
