Does anyone know the location of the Irish pubs/halls where John McGreevy, Joe Cooley, Cuz Teahan, etc. used to play? Are they still in existence?

The two venues most frequented by the guys you mentioned - The 6511 Club and Hanley's House of Happiness - are sadly no more, due mostly to "white flight" in the 1970s.
