fatty Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 We used to do Blackburn Road from the Chet down to ritzy student night - started on pints and then dropped to half’s. Think there were 17-18 pubs including the back streets. Think there are 5 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athywhite1958 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 In my youth there were 19 pubs 3 social clubs and 1 night club in and around Athy town centre, there are now 20 pubs/wine bars/gin bars (when these 2 new ones open all round the town centre, we lost some over the years but they are being replaced with modern drinking establishments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 First the side street pubs from years back went, now a lot of pubs on the arterial roads into towns and town centre pubs are closing,society has changed with the way people spend their leisure time these days, although it's nice to see places like Horwich and Athy doing well. It seems to be the pubs that are making the most effort that are the ones most likely to survive & thrive these days - decent food,not just a nice interior also a nice outdoor space, varied drinks & food menu etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
