    1. The Coach Inn previously coach and horses
    2. The Sunnybank Inn then pickled pig now gone and part of raven hall
    3. Dargle Tavern still there
    4. McCormacks then kavanaghs now bridge cafe
    5. Royal Hotel also included starlight
    6. Mellifont then westbourne then Dusty Millers incorporating Clancys now pee wee ton
    7. Glenmalure previously Wards now Vodafone
    8. Olde Bray previously?
    9. Boomerang still there
    10. Shilelagh then Silver Fern then barmondo now stacks
    11. Tartan then brewmaster
    12. 19th Hole??
    13. Duffs - still there
    14. Ardmore - still there
    15. Dug Inn - now Katie Gallaghers and Ocean bar
    16. Mayfair - still there?
    17. Harbour Bar - still there
    18. O’Driscolls - still there - might have been called Jackies?
    19. O’Sheas - now Martello
    20. Wavecrest - dunno where that was?
    21. Doyles - still there
    22. Cois Farrige - building site
    23. Doon-A-Lawn - can't really remember this
    24. Bray Head - still there
    25. The Oldcourt now Chrissy ds
    26. Kennedys then the vevay inn
    ...

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Ah yeah, the ocean cafe bar, dont know much about stacks but that place just has a perennial bad rep, though we used to hit barmondos years ago on friday afternoon, along with most of bray it seemed for the after work deals.

    Dont know if the mayfair / blacks has been mentioned?

    Sorry for being pedantic but the pub name is 'The Hibernia Inn'.

    "Hibernian" was the insurance company.

    Worked in the Hibernia years ago and the owner used to go mad when it was called the Hibernian.

    Also, the 19th hole, I remember that, wasn't it called "Tuck's 19th Hole"?

    That's not Duck's Elbow, you're thinking of Duck's Arse.

    Yep,
    Mario used to own & run it, his surname was bonanna or something,
    That was my first job in the mid 80's,
    He was a mad fella, used to get his gutar out and sing along with the customers..
    He had old bicycles and stuff hanging off the celing.
    My parents remember he was an excellent chef though, I heard he closed down and worked in the Shelbourne or somewhere.

    The Eagle House is now the apartments across the road from where the Cois Farraige used to be. It's called Martello Manor now I think.

    Nah other direction - I'm thinking something like the Doon A Lawn (spelling).
    Still think the Tartan had an interim name before the Brew.

    Yeah it was the Doon...A...Lawn, the customers used to call the owner the Ayatollah
    Because he had only one eye :D

    Was it not called the Boomerang while Henry Moore owned it?

    I thought the Boomerang name was on it for about 50 or 60 years

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Going back to my childhood here but I always thought it was Henry Moore's.

    Then in late 70's/Early 80's was taken over by the son but he sold it and moved to The Dropping Well in Blackrock.

    It was bought by The Lenihan's, who already had a pub on the Main St and named it "The Boomerang'.

    I could be wrong on this.

    Hmmm.... not old enough to remember - would have to check with my Dad and Uncle.
