Restaurant review: Here's why The Oliver Plunkett has some of the best 'pub grub'

The Oliver Plunkett. Picture: Billy macGill.

In the 80s, the same premises was home to Zoe’s, a nightclub and live venue. Music policy was reasonably decent, including some cracking live bands but you gauged a body’s state of inebriation by whether or not they consumed the chicken supper, included in the price of admission. And, no matter how drunk you were, you only ever tried it once in a single lifetime.
