点评:Lovely pub in lovely location
Stayed in Portsalon all through 70s and 80s. Coming from trouble torn Belfast it was a haven of peace and tranquility .
Imagine our disappointment when on Saturday night the music in the pub became a total celebration of the IRA terrorist campaign. The whole bar celebration terrible atrocities.
Can I say I am no prude. I play in bands in pubs all over Northern Ireland and I am aware there are a lot of pubs and clubs in the North where this sort of sectarian music is played , both loyalist and republican. However , these pubs do not sell themselves as family , holiday bars. I would expect a wee bar in a beautiful seaside resort to ensure that it was welcoming to all. One of my friends suffered terrible loss in La Mon house bombing ( get some of the youngsters chanting “up the RA “ to look that up ). He was devastated to hear what was going on that night.
Sorry I had to write this but surely in 2023 this should be a thing of the past.
Yours etc
A real Irish man
翻译:可爱的酒吧,位置优越
整个 70 年代和 80 年代都住在 Portsalon。贝尔法斯特摆脱了麻烦的困扰,成为和平与安宁的避风港。
想象一下,当周六晚上酒吧里的音乐完全庆祝爱尔兰共和军恐怖活动时,我们会感到多么失望。整个酒吧庆祝可怕的暴行。
我能说我不正经吗?我在北爱尔兰各地的酒吧里都有乐队演奏,我知道北部有很多酒吧和俱乐部都演奏这种宗派音乐,既有忠诚派音乐,也有共和派音乐。然而,这些酒吧并不以家庭、假日酒吧的身份推销自己。我希望在美丽的海滨度假胜地有一个小酒吧,以确保它欢迎所有人。我的一个朋友在拉蒙房屋爆炸中遭受了惨重损失(让一些年轻人高喊“上 RA”来查一下)。听到那天晚上发生的事情,他感到非常震惊。
抱歉,我不得不写这篇文章,但毫无疑问,到 2023 年,这应该成为过去。
你的等等
一个真正的爱尔兰人
