Since he rarely drinks am not overly worried about that.
Have you ever been out in Emyvale? is it really such a boring place to live that three pubs can coexist next door to each in what is essentially a small village?
Try Nobber (no reference there to MagicMe), 2 pubs, one of them does funeral services. Once we were in there after work for a game of snooker/pool and were told we couldn't as there was a body laid out for viewing. Didn't play there again, oddly.
Strangely the same as the pub I play Darts out of Spud, doubles up as a Funeral Directors. Often see the owner off to get the newspaper in the morning in the hearse.

When the Mons Supporters Club did the 12 pubs of Christmas I nearly got kicked out of a pub that was also a funeral directors coz one of the lads handed me what I thought was a black coat and I was about to put it on when the barman came running out and snatched it off me. It was one of those covers they put on coffins when they are taking them out of the house. Ooops.
If I lived in Emyvale I would want more than 3 pubs. Would need the taps in the house to pour beer instead of water.
About 20 years ago, Shamrock Rovers played a friendly to mark the opening of Lough Harps pitch in Ballinlough (Roscommon). After the game, I heard one of the Rovers fans marvel about the village: '800 people... and 22 pubs!'
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Is that true! What town has the record anyway?
Not sure.. but I think there's lots of places that claim it. I know Cobh has a crazy number of pubs for its size and I'm pretty sure some people there claim the honour.

Killala, down for a match weekend (Easter as it happens) and somebody said - there's more pubs than cars here. And I remember the locals all showing photos of them in Year of the French which was shot not too long before in the area. Long time ago!
Ballinlough did have a crazy number of pubs. Ballaghaderreen, about 20 minutes away (pop. c.1600 at the time) had over 40 pubs. A good few are virtually defunct now, and keep going just to maintain the licence, with grocery/hardware/farm supplies etc the main focus.
Oliver St John Gogarty once wrote about Ballaghaderreen (iirc in 'Tumbling in the Hay') that every house had a pub, except for the convent and the police - and you could never be sure of the police. I'd take the word of any man who won an olympic games medal for poetry very seriously!

Aha!
Makes a lot of sense...
We used to stop there coming home from games against Harps/derry. until we stopped during duck killing season (or whatever it was called). The worst smell I've ever encountered. Even in a smoky pub you couldn't get away from it.

Bought a bottle of that 'Football Special' stuff today that ye Donegal/Nordies rave about...such a let down.

It was a once in a blue moon treat for me when I was growing up. I think the rarity of it greatly enhanced its appeal. Nowadays it's quite common to find in shops here, and it's a bit meh IMO. That banana flavoured version is feckin' horrid though!

It's not the same as it used to be. When you used to get it in glass bottles it was the most amazing drink on the planet. It's just not the same as it used to be. Don't know whether they changed ingredients or what has happened, but since they changed the labels and put it into them silly looking plastic bottles it's just not been the same. When I was younger I used to get one once a month or so as a treat and just made my childhood.
Essentially Dunny, it's a soft drink, made with Donegal spring water and a whole shed load of different fruits and vegetables or something like that. As the story goes, it was made in Ramelton in Donegal by lads who wanted an alternative to alcoholic beverages when 'filling the cup' after winning a tournament.

Maybe because ye didn't have it too often it felt like it was something special/nicer? I remember I used to be mad for Dr. Pepper when I was younger cos could only get it when I'd be in England, not the same now they sell it here.

His father Jim and his uncles chanced on the unique combination of ingredients over 50 years ago and luckily his uncle Eamon -- who had trained in a soft drinks company in Belfast -- recorded the quantities so it could be recreated.
"My father was a founder member of the Swilly Rovers Football Club in Ramelton and they were trying to come up with a soft drink that could be put into the cup after a win, instead of whiskey.
"The fruit syrup flavours that are used are all fairly common and shouldn't belong together but they do," he said.
