From directories and Gazette listings it looks like the Royal Victory was actually in George's Place (on the corner with Hope Street) which later became George's Road (mid-1860's - number 84, later 94). It was subsequently (between 1934 and 1938)  relocated to the other side of George's Road  and finally renamed the Moynihan Arms.

Yes Adam's Place is still there, with the 1937 Royal Victory/Moynihan Arms on the corner https://goo.gl/zcp6d7

The original Royal Victory would have been on the corner of Georges Road and Geary Street (formerly Hope Street).

Thomas Wilson had taken over the licence by 1851
