S1472 Pifko

One of Dublin's two Czech bars, this is a large enough pub with an attached off-licence. It was at one time entirely an off-licence (A Booze2Go, of which I will write about at some stage) but there has been a pub on the site for a very long time. The building currently there is quite new, but the empty site with licence attached was advertised for sale in 1992 after demolition, road widening and site consolidation. There are images of the old pub available in various online archives.

Like many city centre bars, there is an extensive food menu. Unlike many city centre bars, it is quite odd to the Irish pub grub purchasers palate - cabbage soup, lots of pork dishes and so on. Kitchen was closed when I was there, so no chance to try and a DiFontaines slice had to suffice later instead.
