Any photos of Dennehy's Cross Pub?

Worztron

Hi.

Does anyone have photos of the outside and inside of the old Dennehys bar that was located at Dennehys Cross? The site is now where Ramen restaurant is located. I think the pub closed around 10 years ago (c. 2005).

Thanks.

I liked that pub. When I worked a summer in Merchants (:mad:) we used go there for drinks every so often.

That is a wonderful website; I've never heard of it before. For anyone interested in the West Cork activities around the War of Independence: I could highly recommend "Towards Ireland Free" by Liam Deasy. It's heavy enough going if you're not interested in the subject matter but the level of detail is superb.

I don't know the year -- it looks to me like it was taken long after 1920. The site is really good, I had never really looked at it properly until I read the posts here!

Yeah, I'd say that photo looks somewhere about the 1960s or 1970s.

Does anyone know when the pub was first opened?

It was a very dark pub but they did a decent sandwich and soup (with freshly whipped cream if you wanted) the few years before they closed, we used to talk down from the Model Farm rd business park.

And the darts/rings board and pool table in the bar section. And as a kid, I recall playing space invaders in the bar section - it was one of those arcade games that doubled up as a table. I think it was 10p a game. There was also the lounge but that was less lively.

Unfortunately I spent my weekends in there as a kid. It was a nice pub though albeit a bit dark.

Whipped cream in soup just sounds wrong. Friend worked there for a while, but only ever went in once or twice. Wasn't a fan. The barbers on the corner is gone, didn't last much longer than the coffee place. That photo shows that the location seems to have always had issues.

Also, where's that image coming from? Can't see any navigation options and it's a weird domain.

Cheers dogsears. I would like to keep the offer open if that's possible. I am not great at meeting new people and would rather leave it for the time being. If you could get photos uploaded here, I'd greatly appreciate it. Along with info on when the place opened and closed, etc.

A lot of pubs gone on that stretch out from the City. The Western Star, Crows Nest and Dennehy's Cross.
