Restaurant review: Scholars Restaurant, Drogheda
It’s an odd experience to revisit what was once a very foreboding if not forbidding building. Back in the day, Scholars Townhouse — constructed in 1867 by renowned Irish architects George Ashlin and Edward Welby Pugin — was the primary residence of Drogheda’s Christian Brothers, who taught at the adjoining primary and secondary schools.
I recall quite literally shaking in our shoes as I awaited, every Friday afternoon, double maths with the Brother known as The Gugg.
