Recently reopened, this was the East Side Tavern and Eamonn Dorans Tavern On The Green in recent memory. A partial refit - mainly new furniture from what I can see - has been done to bring it back in to use.
When I last drank in this area of the city, I felt it odd how quiet and dead this corner of Stephens Green was - it was approaching Christmas but with this closed, Houricans boarded up and nothing on in the Sugar Club that night, the small crowd from Hartigans wasn't enough to make it lively. Now with Madigans open and Houricans released from its tomb (albeit still closed), it's a bit better. I'm hoping that the works to Houricans suggest it might be next.
A fairly small pub, they manage to do a full food menu here, and there's a large enough range of drink options. I expect this incarnation to last a bit longer than the last two - Madigan Group have decades of experience and while they do close or sell on pubs, they don't often do it in a hurry.
