The writing’s been on the wall for a couple of months now, with the Pembroke closing early on Mondays. This week we were told that from now on closing time there would be nine pm Monday through Wednesday. We decamped to Larry Murphy’s (on the corner of Baggot Street and Fitzwilliam Street and will be meeting there for the foreseeable future. The tables are slightly larger, the pints are slightly cheaper and the barmen are slightly perplexed – we hope to see you there soon.

Larry Murphys, 43 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2.
Mondays and Wednesdays, 8:30 – 11:00
