Any ould Dublin heads about...?

…because a friend from the Fair City has E-Mailed me to inquire about the name of an famous old Dublin restaurant ran for years by “Mrs. Dom.”
I think it was the one near Zhivagos on Baggot Street but the name of the place is beyond the recollection of my ould Dublin brain…forget Google…this one goes back to the seventies.

Do you expect anyone who “experienced” the seventies to actually remember them? :wink:

There IS that.

I’m okay with the back half.

I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn’t it.

I remember the 70’s just fine thanks, but not in Dublin. I was only in that city for a very brief day and a half, circa 1980, because our week long stay there was cut short by a U.S. air traffic controller strike.
Mainly, I remember being in a Dublin department store. I was 19, my sister 21, and a young man–a fellow American–pegged us as Yanks right away, before we’d even spoken.

Yez weren’t buyin’ little leprechan dolls for the folks back home by any chance…?

Good thought Dub, but that wasn’t it. Maybe we looked dumb.

The phrase “looking dumb” is not one which readily springs to mind when thinking of the fabled Emmline.

Always a giveaway… :wink:

This looks like the 70s, and is most certainly an Irish restaurant, to be sure, top o’ the morning to ya.

Maybe a “Kiss me, I’m Irish” tee shirt.

Emer,over on the Pipers forum,has answered the original question.

Problem solved.

Naw. Let’s just say the Beach Boys would’ve understood.

Perhaps you would excuse an off-topic question here, dubhlinn.

If I want to shorten your name, which would be correct : dub or dubh ? I thought I had seen some Irish words beginning with “h” followed by a consonant, so I was thinking maybe the syllables were dub-hlinn. But then I have noticed some people writing “dubh”. Help!

19

Or, it could be Du-bhlinn. Or D-ubhlinn. Or Dubhl-inn (sounds like a cheap spot for foursomes.)
I’ll go with just Dub.

Or you could assume the “b” is silent and just call him Duh. :wink:
