What this pub offers
Nearby pubs
Quinn's (Drumcondra)
A Drumcondra institution beloved by Croke Park match-goers who have been piling in here before and after GAA matches for decades. Quinn's has been undergoing renovation and its return is eagerly awaited by the local community.
The Beaumont House
A sizeable Northside pub that does double duty as a neighbourhood local and a proper gastro spot. The Beaumont House serves reliable pub grub alongside well-pulled pints, and the beer garden catches some surprising afternoon sun.
The Goose Tavern
A proper Northside local tucked up near Whitehall with a reputation for pouring one of the best pints of Guinness in Dublin. The Goose Tavern is the kind of place where you walk in a stranger and leave having made friends with half the bar.
The Kilmardinny Inn
Right at the heart of the Santry community, the Kilmardinny is a fine traditional bar with several lounges and a well-kept outdoor area. It is the kind of local where regulars know each other by name and newcomers are made feel welcome from the first pint.
