See Image (October 2009). The premises have now re-opened. They retain the security grille/cage around the front door as a novelty item although there seems to be pressure, from officialdom, to have it removed. During The Troubles/The Armed Struggle inner-city bars were identified with a particular “side” and were frequent (underlined in bold) targets for bombings and shootings carried out by the “other side”. The grille (of which this was a typical example) was an absolute necessity to protect the customers. See also Image
