It isn't often that I arrive at a pub and find that it has changed name without me knowing - indeed I don't think it's ever happened before. Pubs have shut down completely on me a number of times, so it's not like I pick up everything of course - I have even got a bus specifically to try tick somewhere off to find it dark and empty; having shut actual years beforehand (N0138 The Hollybrook, formerly Gilbert & Wright Clontarf).
In this case, even Google was unaware that The Concorde was not The Concorde anymore; having changed at some point since it was offered for sale in 2021. That article mentions the pub being kept in excellent condition, so my initial assumption that it had been renovated after sale may be inaccurate - it is in very good condition throughout.
You'll notice I've said "was". In the time between my visit and the writeup being published, the pub has reverted to The Concorde. It's just as well my correction on Google Maps wasn't accepted!
It's a large enough pub and it's sort of hard to say whether the area I was in was a bar area or a games room; featuring a pool table, and also some of my most disliked things in a pub - gaming machines. However, unlike some other pubs, they weren't right inside the door or blaring noise; so I'm more tolerant of them here.
Edenmore formerly had a second pub, N0741 Edenmore House, but this closed in the mid 2010s. The licence was moved to 1012867 Temple Bar Inn, one of the last licence transfers I ever saw reported in detail in a newspaper - court reporting of less salacious cases being an early victim of cuts in journalism!
