The Dublin outpost of a Cork bar chain that also runs Rising Sons Brewery, this pub is presented as if it is a converted pharmacy, filled with old medicine bottles and camera equipment.
It isn't - but the name is taken from one of their Cork pubs which was, and the various bits and pieces are apparently from there. As the Cork branch is still fully decorated I'm not sure how it managed to give up this much material, but those who care to look at them will see that many of the bottles are from Irish pharmaceutical companies of the past; so the chances that they're an eBay load from elsewhere is quite slim!
There are 7 Rising Sons taps - 6 standard and a rotational - as well as a selection of the regular macros, with cocktails and food finishing off what's available
The front bar/lounge - it has a bar, but for seating not service I think - is particularly nice to sit in, with sun coming in through the wall of bottles and some comfortable antique chairs. This is somewhere I would have preferred to stay a bit longer in, but I had somewhere to be - which ended up being delayed sufficiently to get another pint somewhere else, as it happens.
