Another traditional outer city centre pub in an established area - albeit one which equips itself to deal with occasional influxes of hundreds of extra customers due to its proximity to Croke Park. The pub itself is a comfortable enough looking setup.
I got in here during, rather than after, a match (as with N0018 The Big Tree) which meant there was still space inside. An army of bar staff were waiting for the hordes to arrive, meaning very quick service at the time - there was probably a staff member for every customer!
The area to the front of the pub had a mobile bar in place - I think only serving Guinness. This is a common enough tack-on for a pub that has a normal local trade and occasional high volumes, also seen recently in S0179 The Gasworks
