Thank God for Prohibition!It turned the bog standard cocktail into something pretty special. Well how else were they going to disguise the taste of

PREMIUM SPIRITS (add €2.00)

was brash, bold, loud and dirty. While their blood brothers in

New York profited from prohibition and thirsty yanks, our men back

home were making their own unwritten laws right here on the streets of Dublin. It was beers for

the working men, toss schools for the corner boys and pints of

cheap Red Biddy for the rest.

Half the city was clothed with the cast offs of the other half. Eight to a bed, overcoats for blankets, no wonder life was lived in the streets. The marauding Animal Gangs took the names of their home turf: Ash Street, Stafford Street, Gardiner Street, all brawling just for the hell of it… and for some kind of escape from the grinding poverty in those festering tenements.

The only cop who could handle them was Jim ‘Lugs’ Brannigan. Lugs was blessed with an impressive pair of cauliflower ears and a tidy left hook from his amateur boxing days. He put manners on even the toughest brawlers. From the scuffles at Harold’s Cross Greyhound track to the Battle of Baldoyle, Lugs really was the stuff of urban legends.

These guys lived and died by that mafia rule

‘omertha’ – keeping it schtum no matter what.

The street corners heaved with every specimen of humanity. The landlords looking for next week’s rent, the shell-shocked soldiers trapped in some kind of living hell, screaming as imaginary bombs whizzed above their heads. The organ grinders and penny hustlers – you could even hire a child to beg for you!

Johnny Forty Coats, Hairy Lemon, Mary Wallpaper, Jembo No Toes, all part of Inner City urban folklore. Then there was Bang Bang who kept his own version of law and order on the streets. Riding the trollies from Parnell Street to the Quays he’d jump on board, shooting passers by with a church key. ‘Bang, Bang! You’re shot. If yeh don’t die, I’m not playin’.’

All classes of customers were catered for - gentlemen, lords, soldiers from the Royal Barracks. Rumour even has it that King Edward VII lost his innocence in this heartland of whores and despotic madams. They used to roar out the windows at the street kids below, lowering cans filled with money down on strings to get cigarettes, matches or gargle from the pub.

And what about the Grand Dames of the infamous Monto Red Light District? Becky Cooper, Polly Butler and May Oblong had things pretty much sewn up there. Tyrone Street, Foley Street, Beaver Street and Faithful Place were home to nearly 1,600 ‘poor unfortunate girls’.

Here’s a wee song that Jembo No Toes used to sing:

“I don’t want to go to the trenches no more,Where the alley man’s guns shatter and roar.Omy ome, Take me home over the sea,Back to the Liberties.”

the man with all the cures, dispensed lotions and tonics from his tenement chemist’s shop on Francis Street, in the heart of the Liberties.

Hippo Wine and Squills for coughs, Mushatt’s Foot Paste; people came from all over the city for his legendary hangover cure – Black Draft.

So let’s raise a glass to the people who made Dublin what it is. The profiteers, the Robin Hoods, the chancers, the hard grafters, the beasts, the savages and the saviours.

Let’s celebrate the magnificent stories and the grim reality and add our own little bit of history to the mix, right here in Fade Street Social.

CIDER

Cheaper than a meal, beer was the working man’s breakfast,

lunch and dinner – no wonder they used to call it ‘liquid food’.

It was bit like an old Ford motor, you could have any colour as long as it was black! Shebeens were rife in the tenements too.

Every third or fourth house had a bit of turf placed in the window – a nod and a wink to a thirsty man. At Fade Street Social there’s more than a pint of plain choose from. Pull up a stool and we’ll pour you a cold one.
