Description

Loafers Bar on Douglas Street was opened in 1983 by Derrick Gerety and operated until 2015, making it one of the longest running gay bars in Ireland. This picture shows Derrick working behind the bar in Loafers in the 1980s.
Loafers became an important social meeting space for the LGBT community as well as for people involved in ‘alternative’ groups and lifestyles in the city and for those involved in the Quay Co-op.
