This and the next few pubs were actually visited in September. I'll forget this when doing my month on month comparison at the end of the year, but I can't backdate them or they'll never appear as new updates.
The Old Stand is a heavily rugby themed pub, with photos and newspaper clippings on the wall relating the name to the 1920s East Stand in the original Lansdowne Road stadium. However, the pub's website gives a claim of 300+ years of a pub on the site, and I do have a former name recorded on the map.
This is quite a small pub, with a bar on the Exchequer Street side and a small lounge of sorts behind. A full food service is offered, which is rare in a premises this small. Anyone male of any stature will have to watch their head the entire way down to the gents.
This is a decent traditional city centre pub all told, but the location (and the menu) mean it is probably becoming more of a tourist haunt than anything else.
