What this pub offers
Nearby pubs
The Angler's Rest
With a history stretching back to Cromwellian times, the Angler's Rest was a favourite watering hole of patriot Michael Collins and generations of anglers fishing the Liffey. The riverside location on the Strawberry Beds is simply gorgeous and the food is excellent.
The Halfway House
Located close to the Phoenix Park and Ashtown train station, the Halfway House features open fireplaces, private cosy snugs and a magnificent stained glass skylight. It is a genuine old Dublin pub with real character that has been beautifully maintained.
The 12th Lock
Guaranteed to be buzzing on Croke Park match days, the 12th Lock has a large lounge area and a typical old-school Dublin pub atmosphere. It serves the people of Castleknock and the wider D15 area with dependable pints and a friendly crowd.
The Carpenter
A popular local gastropub in Carpenterstown with a strong community following. The Carpenter delivers on food, drink and atmosphere in equal measure, and the beer garden is a much-appreciated amenity in a part of Dublin not overly blessed with pub options.
