N0270 The Village Inn O'Connors

Ballyboughal would start to tend towards a town - or a suburb of Swords - rather than a village these days, but its one pub retains The Village Inn name.

And it could have been transplanted from a community with a tenth of the population, at least aesthetically

North County Dublin is still Dublin, so with the help of a non-drinking (for the day) driver, I'm getting the pubs here ticked off. O'Connors Village Inn is a nice mix of country pub with a more modern drinks menu, and a decent welcome #pub #pubs #dublin #dublinpubs #ballyboughal

Like the previous pub, there was nobody in the lounge but a fairly full bar when we arrived, but just horse racing on the TVs and the same generic betting slips.

There's a slightly more modern range of drinks than you might expect here, including a gin menu on every table

There's very little chance you'll ever end up here unless you live in Ballyboughal, but it's a nice boozer none the less.
