Tamar St, near bridge
1829-1862
The best I can tell it was on the east side of Tamar Street, on or beside the Esplanade (now Boland St), which is shown below. The hotel on the corner is Tynan’s Hotel, constructed 1888.

On Wednesday last our worthy Magistrates, Messrs. Kenworthy, Gordon, and Simpson, went round to inspect the various public houses, and also those houses for which applications had been made to be allowed to retail spirituous liquors. At Alexander Stewart’s they found only one bed, that in which he and his wife sleep, the house is an old one, with two small front rooms, and one back room, there was not one single chair, and scarcely a table in this house, yet it was relicensed but he bows very obsequiously.
