That was probably quite the place to meet the lassies back in the days when if you could not dance, you didn't get any. Incredibly, it still functions as a dance venue today, according to t'internet. Next event April 4th...any Roveristas in County Leitrim, get down there and strut your stuff. The Rover in the car park is bound to impress the ladies.

I did look it up using street view... Not changed that much. Very moody shot of the P6.
I've definitely driven past it a few times, but never stopped. I wonder what life would have given me if I had stopped. Mind I wouldn't call myself a dancer; except when autotesting to music
