The notion of the pub dates back to the 17th century, when the public house was a gathering place where people met to discuss the issues of the day and to raise a glass at the end of a hard day’s work. The Old Triangle is this place. The Old Triangle was created in 2000 by three Irishmen, and remembers an ancient time when a grouping of three, or triad, was regarded as a symbol of good luck. Drop in tonight for some tunes with Ed Burke. Showtime: 9pm–1am
