N0170 Raheny Inn

This is a quite traditional suburban pub that has an emphasis on live music - and at least when I visited, on live sports. As far as I can remember there were five different sporting channels on the TVs in the bar, primarily racing but also snooker and football.

These type of pubs are often quite community focused, and when doing a basic search to find any historical info that might be online, I found a reference to their substantial donation to a charity assisting with the ridiculous costs of religious ceremonies in nearby Edenmore. Otherwise basically all I found was every single working live band along the East coast mentioning that they had or will be playing there!

It seems that this pub was built during the general expansion of Raheny in the 50s and its not massively changed, except in interior decor, since. Its also mentioned in Ronan Keating's autobiography it seems - the random stuff Google turns up sometimes.
