A relatively quiet bank holiday weekend had me visit two of Dublins more frequently renamed pubs - with quite a lot of headscratching trying to remember what they'd been called before
N1939 Adelphi (in the Abbey Hotel, Middle Abbey Street) has previously been branded as the hotel bar, The Jolly Monk and as Bar 52. Now a mostly craft beer focused pub, it has received a lot of attention recently for its Donal Trump urinal. This is already looking a little worse for wear from the flush mechanism washing it down but I'd guess it might survive the election cycle. Pub was extremely quiet but it was mid afternoon on a Monday, so not really indicative. Would willingly return to try it when its busier.
S3103 The Beer Market on High Street opened last year as Galway Bays newest bar. It was previously Ryans, The Pale, Little Green and Molloys at various times and might have the record for the most different names a single pub has had in a short period of time.
Bar is the usual GBB setup - 20 taps, vast amount of bottles, decent food. It was uncomfortably warm considering the weather, however. For a Monday it was pretty busy so hopefully it lasts longer than the multiple previous occupants have.
