What was the dodgiest pub you have been to?

Any of the pubs on the strip in Puerta Banus. Drug riddled dives. I was there with friends about 20 yrs ago when one of them bumped into a guy and spilled some of his drink. The guy pulled out a knife in the bar and told us he would stab every one of us. A regular in the bar, think it was Sinatras, told us the guy was a well known English drug dealer.

J’Daves in Lake City

If The Harbour Bar of old in Galway hasn't been mentioned.....there ya go.

My Dad was a childhood friend of Terry Killeen / Killion The owner of The Castle… he eventually sold up because of the hassle involved running it. Made a pretty penny I believe but the effort involved and apparently he was targeted by gangsters looking for protection and in the end he just got out… man had a wife and 3 young kids.

Was in the tower's,an experience

Ambrose Moloneys, a good spot for traveller funerals as well.

I was in the blacker once about 15 years ago….renamed Liz Delaney’s by then. Still referred to as the blacker though. Lad I worked with had his 40th there.

It was his local and we were told by him that if anything untoward should happen just say “ look I’m here with JF’s gang at the 40th.” Don’t think he was a ‘head’ or connected just he was a regular regular so us blow ins were left alone. Pub was quite run of the mill , drink was dirt cheap, the beer tasted rank, remembering going on the bottle’s because I couldn’t stomach the warm piss being served as draught…..upstairs, lots of hard looking cases, obviously coke had just became a big thing, proper auld auldfellas in the jacks taking it…

will some of the D4/Ringsend pubs be rough around the Engerland match next month ?

Planning on revisiting The Yacht Tavern in Ringsend. Its not a rough pub but id imagine if you go in acting the bollocks youd find out quickly
