Nearby pubs
The Goose Tavern

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 Big Tree
A massive pub that comes alive on match days when Croke Park is rocking. The Big Tree has been a Drumcondra landmark for years, with multiple screens for sport and a lively crowd that keeps the atmosphere buzzing well into the evening.
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.
