In the UK, railway station pubs usually slot in to two categories - boring or beautiful. In Dublin we get original yet still quite boring, we get bonkers, forced twee and sort-of beautiful in this case. Externally, there is little or nothing appealing to the pub in Connolly; but inside Madigans you get to see quite a bit of the 1840s railway architechture; some of it lit quite nicely from memory.
Memory here isn't the best though, as while I was here relatively recently; like all visits to in-station pubs it was very quick - 29 minutes for a train due to just missing one. By the time of the evening my trains go to hourly, the pub is closed so its Graingers across the road for any 59 minute waits.
