This is a rather odd pub, in a good way. Originally a markets early house (it still holds that licence, I believe) which now mostly serves and feeds the legal trade during the day, with trad sessions at night. Generally traditional Dublin pub setup, including a snug.
Food offered seems to be toasties, and only toasties - a fine Dublin tradition and rarely done to the level here. Every table was equipped with mustard and brown sauce - not the condiments you'll see in a gastropub but perfect for what was offered.
The pub has one, small, CRT TV mounted on the wall which was off when I visited. The radio was on, quietly, but otherwise the only noise was the discussions of the other drinkers.
There was a large group meeting to play a paper-based RPG of some description - I assume Dungeons and Dragons - which is an interesting if likely unplanned sideline for a premises. As something that requires relative quiet it can't be done in a busy pub or a music bar and it did bring in a decent number of people for a weekday evening
