11 memories of Antics in Crawdaddy that will bring you right back
1. The little tunnel entrance down the steps to Crawdaddy made you think you were entering a seriously classy establishment
2. And the smoking area in Antics, looking up at Harcourt Street, was where the real craic happened every Wednesday
On the rare occasion that someone didn’t get in, you’d have to chat with them through the bars for a while before they headed on home.
3. Trying to snake in for €3 before midnight was the main Antics goal – even though it was only a couple of euro more after
