    From memory of the late 80's on visits to Waterford The Peppermint Grove was in the Bridge Hotel with the entrance on Bridge Street and Xanadu's was also in the Bridge but it's entrance was in O'Connell Street. Someone should be able to confirm it.

    This sounds right - the name Olympus was on the wall above the cocktail bar when it was Xanadu anyway
