Appraisal
Located on Main Street, on the bank of the River Shannon, this billiard hall with its stripped 1950s architectural style, plays an important social role for the residents of Banagher. A notable feature of this building is the projecting stepped concrete mouldings flanking the façade which enlivens the building.
