The news that popular Waterloo Street watering hole the Admiral Bar is to close its doors for good due to "site development" has been a bitter pill to swallow.
For more than 60 years, generations of locals have laughed, socialised and cavorted the night away at the legendary bar and gig venue for all manner of impromptu night outs, birthday parties, stag-dos, engagement parties and work get-togethers. And who could forget all the great bands, comics and other entertainers who have performed there?
With the Admiral's sad closure on March 11 fast approaching, we thought it would be worthwhile to look back on some of the famous faces who have both played at and partied at the venue down the years.
