Quote Historic Dublin pub now a Starbucks. What links Captain William Bligh of Mutiny on the Bounty fame, Brendan Behan, Green Day and early morning techno gigs? One address – 1 George’s Quay, Dublin....... On the southside of the city between the new Rosie Hackett Bridge and Butt Bridge, this well-known and loved early-house pub closed in July of this year and re-opened a month later as a Starbucks. The pub was situated on the corner of George’s Quay and Corn Exchange Place (formerly White’s Lane). Its address was 1 George’s Quay but the location was often mixed up for Burgh Quay. As The White Horse, it was a popular haunt from the 1950s to the 1970s for the city’s journalist and literary set due mainly to its close proximity to the Irish Press building. In the 1980s and 1990s, its upstairs ‘Attic’ venue played an important role in Dublin’s rock and alternative music scenes. A relatively unknown Californian punk band called Green Day played there to less than 40 people in December 1991 at a gig organised by the pioneering Hope Collective. On a “wintry Sunday afternoon” in December 1991, an up-and-coming American punk band Green Day played in The Attic to about 40 people. Support came from Dog Day. Cover charge was £2 and the organisers lost £50 on the night. Green Day, The Attic, December 1991. Credit – Hot Press Niall recalls in Please Feed Me: A Punk Vegan Cookbook (2004) that singer Billie Joe Armstrong and the rest of the band didn’t hang around in Dublin that evening: Dublin wasn’t really the party city and Green Day left for Belfast straight after the gig, but not before getting some directions and food. They had enjoyed themselves so much in Belfast the previous night that they wanted to get back as quickly as possible. One lucky gig goer was Pete Murphy who recalled in a 2015 article in State Magazine: I was in town doing some last minute Christmas shopping. I knew Niall was organising an afternoon gig for this band on Lookout Records, called Green Day. I knew their first couple of records, and I’d always support the Hope gigs when I could, so I took some time out to pop in and catch the show. Armed as ever with my trusty walkman recorder I headed in and, along with, I guess, 25 other people, caught a great gig. I still have that tape somewhere. https://comeheretome.com/2016/08/10/historic-dublin-pub-the-white-horse-now-a-starbucks-coffee-shop/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly thinking about this now. How can he say that and then not have them do something? lol, three whole days off is probably driving him nuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's Tre in the tank top but I believe that it is Jason next to him and possibly Billie behind Jason though I'm not certain about that. I'm going off what Jason and Billie were wearing that day.
