S0241 Graces

A large and traditional pub in the original village of Rathmines, Graces hit the headlines last year in a defamation case over a disputed authenticity banknote but was more generally known for its live music.

Oddly quiet - in the sonic sense, there were plenty of customers - the pub is slightly like stepping in to the past. Nowhere near as much as, say, S0024 Hartigans but there's a certain feel of it being 1993 still. One part of this is that they had the once common poster of 60 or so Dublin pub fronts on the wall, which I need to get a better copy of to do a piece on at some point.

The outside of the pub could do with a full re-paint, as could their wooden sandwich boards which were in the lobby - although one of them still has mention of the New Years Eve entertainment so may not be in heavy use!
