Pub #200 for me, so I decided to go for somewhere a bit different. Requiring a driver - as the bus service is Monday to Friday only - this is well up in to the Dublin Mountains and not like your average Dublin boozer at all.
There's probably the only lounge with no bar - but an ever lit turf fire. There's a window where you can get served from outside and a a semi-covered courtyard with water bowls for dogs. There's even more, but fully uncovered, outdoor seating is in the carpark across the road, giving fantastic views over Dublin on a decent day.
In many ways it feels much more like a country pub than one in Dublin, but a few minutes down the hill and you're in the Sandyford Industrial Estate. The pub was very busy, presumably due to the good weather, with very little parking available except for motorbikes.
Roughly 1/5th of the way to the finish line now, or 1/4 when long closed premises are counted.
