This very traditional Liberties bar of wide repute is claimed to date to the early 17th century or earlier - and with the Viking finds on the site of the hotel that is being built next door, you could imagine there may have been a tavern near here for a millennium. The building itself, or at least its external walls, is likely late 18th or early 19th century however.

This isn't a very large pub, and competition for the snug is immense. I got a seat at the bar when I visited, and decided to go for a Guinness - not my regular pint, but sometimes the surroundings guide me towards it - N0078 Kavanaghs/Gravediggers being somewhere else it happened.

This was the first pub where I dabbled in Instagram; forgetting to even say where the photo was taken or do any hashtags. That might be why I've still got single figure followers; but also makes it even stranger that I forgot to do the writeups for this trip for many months.
