Aged Visits - revisiting pubs last visited >=18 years ago

As I'm all but out of places to tick off - and entirely out of conventional pubs until some open or reopen - I've decided that I should try figure out which pubs I've not been to for the longest and potentially revisit those, to update what are often extremely outdated "RetroReview" postings here.

I don't have dates and times for visits prior to starting the blog a bit over 9 years ago, and recording my re-visits from late 2019, so there's nearly 15 years and just under 100 pubs that haven't been recorded as visited on here, other than the RetroReview

Rather than post the full list here, and tie myself to actually visiting them all, I'm going to list a few places I know are approaching, at or beyond the 20 year mark since my last visit; and which I'll vaguely try to get to at some point in the next few years or so. I am deliberately leaving out ticketed venues (race tracks, theatres, cinemas)

* Hoxton Hotel (former Central Hotel) - I believe I was last here in 2004. It's reopening soon, which is a good excuse to visit
* The Bridge 1859 - 2005
* Horse Show House - 2005

These three above were all last drunk in before I was 18, so definitely deserve a legal revisit! The rest below are all a bit later; but still last visited so long ago, that someone born on the day would now be old enough to drink:

* Bowes, Fleet Street - circa 2005
* Fagans, Drumcondra - circa 2005/6
* Kennedys, Drumconda - circa 2005/6
* The Old Storehouse - circa 2005, when it was Eamon Dorans
* Quinns, Drumcondra - 2006. Also reopening soon
* IFI, Eustace Street - not sure I've been here since 2006. Yes, this is a cinema, but the restaurant and bar are open to all
* West County Hotel, Chapelizod - circa 2006
* The Old Boro, Swords - not been here since 2006, well before it was Wetherspooned
* The Betsy, Swords - 2006, as the Slaughtered Lamb
* Intercontinental Hotel - 2006, as the Four Seasons
* Talbot Hotel, Stillorgan - 2006, as the Stillorgan Park Hotel
* Mulligans, Abbey Street - 2007, as Madigans
* Madigans, North Earl Street - 2007
* The Grattan, Grattan Crescent - ~2007, as the Village Inn
