The Former Phoenix Bar

The former Phoenix Bar is rising from the ashes as a bar/restaurant and will revert it its former name the Broughton Bar so I was told by the butcher in Crombie's across the road this morning.

Nonsense. I drank in the Phoenix for years and never saw any of that shite.

Exactly. Was a dive but a good set of locals!

 

Folk make assumptions from one song, one customer, one story etc.

 

Broughton St losing Mathers and The Phoenix to "bars" is a shame. The streets appeal has always been its mix of proper boozers and trendy stuff imo.

My dad seems to recall it being a watering hole for CSF in the late 80's?

I was told the James Connolly society or whatever they are called met there regularly. 

 

Good lads. Friendly bunch as well.
