Many a beer I had in Eamonn Doran's (and The Rock Garden as it was known before Doran took it over) in Temple Bar (which used to be a great place for bars before your cúnty stag and hen parties turned the whole area into a twatfestHerd wrote:I knew some good Cops in NYC most Irish Americans , but yea u get that shit, remember 1, st paddies my dad was over and we were in my regular haunt ,he wore his London Irish jumper and some fool had a pop at him ( It has the london flag X st George and a sword in it ) before the Owner Mr Eamon Doran himself threw the man out and got talking to me dad . Turns out my dad and him had a few people in common at London Irish ,and that was it. best friends and beers all round .Unfortunately Eamon died way too early in 98 ? And his bars have gone 1 by 1 as his sons coke habit grew ! They still had one in Temple Bar but I heard that went tits up too !Allgunsblazin wrote:Hah, New Yorkers are shit too, spoke to one 20th generation Irish cop in a bar with a few colleagues and could only bring up the IRA as conversation back in September 2001, what that had to do with Bin Laden was beyond me!Herd wrote:hate boston hate bostonians ,mind you as an english yankee fan they dont much like me either.
I miss Eamons smiling face , I miss his bars, as I miss New York !

For a few years Doran's was a great spot.
