JP Mooneys? I thought they went bust in the 70s? Or is this name confusingly similar to JG Mooney?
Well, its the latter, and to be honest old pub nerds or those over about 50 are likely to have heard of them. And its not the only confusing thing here, as I was convinced this hotel bar wouldn't reopen - the new operators The Key Collection have a few hotels with no public bar; and it was closed for quite some time.
Once the Blarney Inn tourist-tack-pit and Club Nassau over-30s-fleshpit, they have done quite a decent job upgrading the pub here to a quite standard city centre premises. Its identikit to plenty of other pubs, but its a major improvement over what went before. There's a fairly decent drinks selection both on draught and spirits; its not too noisy and it wasn't too crowded. Its just a little away from the main busy sections - but not that far away - and a good alternative if those are busy.
