    I think from Geaney's/The Groves all the way down to Quinlans/The Constellation the only pub left is the Berehaven. Across Blackpool Bridge only The Bridge Inn remains as far as i know. Hally's is long gone.

    Worked in Thomas Davis Street (Cronins, was a clean out, of druggies and travellers)
    Bounced in Derry long time without much hassle, clubs super pubs, but that little kip in Blackpool bate the lot, fighting each and every weekend,what a ****in dump alongside most of the clients
