N0233 The Bald Eagle / Cross Guns

A large, primarily craft beer bar in Phibsboro - this was my original intended target for dinner but was so busy I went to the N2405 The Whitworth instead and called back in a good while later when it had calmed down.

The outside of the premises presents it as two bars - the Bald Eagle and Cross Guns - but they are entirely the one pub inside. There is one main bar, and they use the same doors, toilets and smoking area.

The current setup, and name, is very recent; but the pub itself is quite old - the low and locally sequential licence number show it predates the regional licence numbering system. Most recently it was "Smiths of Phibsboro", a TP Smith Group pub but it has also been Bushes and O'Mahoneys (and possibly other names)
