  • Drake inn

    Hi all as you know the above pub has been closed a lon time now. Horrible seeing it idle & falling apart. I received a flyer from Noel Rock FG TD for the area in my door the other day. It confirmed that the Drake is now under new ownership and renovations are to start very soon. DCC have promised it will be this month the work will commence. Noel rock said in his letter he would keep up the pressure to ensure the promise of renovations is kept.
    UP THE DUBS!!!

                      No....it was Nans when I went to see him over in a place in Cabra...time but last home Bo.....great act.....the punters chose the songs from a list I assume and the band just found the key and played away while the punter sang....unusual.

                              I remember we had a KatieMorag meet in the bottom of the hill pub 5 years ago & nansson played in it. Think u were there with Ph & cogs lol. That was a great evening. Been In the shamrock a couple of times with the kids. Their chips are fab.
