258) Tom Tavey's of Emmet Road, Inchicore, D8

Cheap and cheerful and somewhat smokey. Karaoke is popular. The Guinness stout wasn’t great, but because it was easy on the pocket, we stayed for another. The DJ was warming the crowd with a few Roy Orbison songs when Andrew Stephens (wishing to hear a particular Orbison classic) approached the DJ and asked: “will you give me Anything You Want?” The DJ jokingly pretended to misinterpret the song title as a kinky come-on and publicly announced: “This young man's just after propositioning me! It's the most original come-on I've heard all evening!”, leading to general hilarity all round.

Now permanently shut.

Update as of 2023: Now reopened under the name The Devil’s Cut.
