Listing historyNotable events

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref 1006303 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for OPIUM at 26 WEXFORD STREET, 13 AND 14 LIBERTY LANE & 37 & 38 CAMDEN ROW in DUBLIN CITY with TREBLESIDE DESIGNATED ACTIVITY COMPANY as licensee.[1] The Irish Times reviewed Opium at 26 Wexford Street in 2014 and described it as a Thai/South-East Asian venue.[2] The Irish Times reported in 2018 that Trebleside Designated Activity Company, owner of Opium Bar, settled a High Court action over an alleged EUR1 million agreement to buy neighbouring property at 38 and 38a Camden Row.[3] Another Irish Times report said Dublin City Council had taken legal proceedings against Opium amid complaints following a multimillion-euro makeover.[4]

What the Boards.ie trail is useful for

These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 116 readable matches for Opium, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.

Best Boards.ie memory leads

Opium has 116 readable Boards.ie memory signals around old memories, stories and gossip, regulars and characters, local colour and rituals and customs. The strongest current lead points into "Saudi Arabia - public flogging for insulting Islam"; PubHub should keep it labelled as forum memory, then use corrections and source review to turn the best fragments into fuller local stories. The character lane is especially useful here, with 12 regulars-or-room-texture signals.
