    Yes, I thought it was called the Eimear Bar too. Long and dark if I recall correctly.

    Yes, the Eimear was next to the bakery of the same name next door to the Ulster Bank. Definitely no snooker hall in the Eimear Bar days!

    I'm trying to recall what it was before the Eimear but I was about 10 at the time and old age has fogged my memory. It was certainly the Eimear in the early 60s.

    I think it was just called "The Kings snooker hall" :) Played there a few times when i was a young fella.

    The "Eimear" name still lives on in those parts as the row of shop units that lead from the side of the Ulster Bank in Clanbrassil street to the Longwalk are called Eimear Court iirc ?.(Morgan fish,Apache pizza etc..)

    Thought so myself, or Kings as it was called in my school, it was just taken at that age that it was snooker that you meant. Trying to remember exactly when thinking it was maybe 89/90
