I wonder was there ever much confusion caused here during the years that S3871 Nolita was called The Dragon? People wondering why their taxi ride was taking them in to suburbia or why the bar appeared to have rather more bears and rather less house music than expected for instance.
A restaurant reviewer - which Google is completely failing in finding for me; so it was probably in the Sunday Business Post - has written about confusion between 1014544 The Ivy and N0147 Ivy House before, so I'm sure it must have happened... anyway, back to the still named Dragon.
There's two pubs in the old Tallaght village that predate it becoming the vast outer suburb it is now - the previously mentioned S1589 Molloys. Molloys has expanded to a superpub but The Dragon is still (comparatively) small and seems to have kept more of the community spirit of a village pub. Their Facebook page focuses less on promoting the pub and more on featuring life events of regulars and other community info - including a recent link to a blog entry on a long-gone (1913) pub in Tallaght I had not been aware of.
Molloys was actually marginally cheaper for a pint, which I found a bit odd as usually pubs like this are cheaper - but its still nothing compared to city centre prices.
