Recently "soft" reopened, this early house has undergone a huge renovation. There doesn't seem to be a surface that hasn't been sanded, painted or reupholstered in the place and the building looks great from outside. The renovation is documented extensively on the pub's Facebook page.
I work nearby and hadn't heard that it had opened yet, but Publin put up a post about the extensive basements/tunnels underneath the building discovered during the works, so I popped in.
It is however now rather expensive for this part of the city - a pint of Galway Hooker was €6 which is steep anywhere, let alone the north inner city.
This area of the city has lost lots of licenced premises in the past decade - the Sackville Lounge, Sean O'Caseys, Radio City and Floridita come to mind as all close by; so its great to see a premises reopen so soon after closing. There is also extensive work underway on the currently closed N0055 Mother Kelly's a short distance down the road - a rebrand to 74 Talbot appears to be intended based on signage.
