Can anyone tell me the name of a hotel in Ennis Ireland that has a pub named "O'Connell Lounge"?

Question

I'm looking for this hotel that I stayed at in Ennis a few years ago. I'm not sure if the name of the pub is actually "O'Connell Lounge, however, there is a sign that says that in my video that I took while there. I can't remember much else about the hotel...I believe it was in town perhaps by a park. There was also a piano in the pub and a lighted "toilet" sign marking the bathrooms.

The Queen's and The Old Ground are in the centre of Ennis

Answer 2

I can't be 100% sure... I just don't remember any with a piano on it (quite unusual feature by the way...)

All hotels in Ennis have a pub next to/as part of it. Key hotels (pub name) include:

In Town Centre:
- Old Ground Hotel (Poet's Corner)
- Temple Gate Hotel (Preachers)
- Queens Hotel (The Front Bar and Cruises nearby)

Town outskirts:
- West County Hotel (Boru's)
- Auburn Lodge Hotel (Tailor Quigley's)
- Woodstock (Spikes Bar)

Some pubs have lounges, some may have names like "O'Connell's Lounge", but can't put my finger on it.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I have looked through the sites for hotels in Ennis and none mention having an "O'Connell Lounge". I have provided the links to six of them. Some show map locations in the town and the pictures might jog your memory.

The first three are on O'Connell Street in Ennis and may have a lounge named O'Connell's. The Templegate hotel is probably the most likely as the original houses was the property of Charles O'Connell, cousin of Daniel O'Connell, one of our great patriots elected to parliament for the County Clare in 1828.

Templegate hotel
The Queens Hotel, Ennis
Old Ground Hotel Ennis
West County Hotel
The Auburn Lodge Hotel
The Woodstock Hotel
