S3840 Graingers / The Fountain

Eternally for sale (at least as long as I've tracked pub sales), this is now the most dated of the Meath Street pubs; despite having been the most modern quite recently. Refits and/or complete changes of target audience have changed the market on the street quite significantly

My grandmother had an opposition to ever using the word "cheap" except when criticising something of poor quality; so reflecting that I shall refer to the pints here as "affordable". They are amongst the most affordable pints in Dublin; and don't come with quite the same problems as some similarly priced venues - indeed checking my review of two years ago of 1009700 The Snug, its still slightly cheaper  more affordable (€8 rather than €8.10) here without any sign of the problematic crowd The Snug gets

The estate agent ad gives you a good impression of what the pub looks like; and indeed some of the atmosphere - the TV playing RTE Gold is visible in one of them just as it was when I visited.

Its possible that someone may buy this place and do a deep refit or change the theme of the pub entirely; but for now its a fairly standard pub for its location in terms of clientele and atmosphere. You know what you're going to get, and you won't pay very much for it.
