The Drum and Monkey, Archway

Not many can say that they spent some of their honeymoon in the Drum and Monkey. Forty years ago, when Maurice and Bridie ran it. Good atmosphere then, even at a time when paddies were keeping a little on the quiet side because of the troubles.
Called in ten years ago, no customers and a too loud jukebox. Sad!
Do the 'Buffs' still meet upstairs?
With a bit of luck I will visit the old ghosts in the near future and drink a toast to the Kelly family who did us proud.
