My Dad's old local when he a: lived in Drumcondra and b: drank - so in excess of 35 years ago at this stage!
This was my preferred of the two pubs near Drumcondra train station for after-work pints, but we ended up splitting with my less-favoured N0080 Quinns unfortunately. I've not been back here for actual pints in quite some time; but there is now a decent off-licence in what used to be the front lounge (I think? Always went out the back to the big screen anyway), which I have used a few times if heading for a train that will leave me home after 10.
is this the same McGraths that sits near one end of O'Connell St.? Opposite side of street of GPO I believe. On my three trips to Ireland from the USA, always stopped in and had the same bartender each time, years apart.
ReplyDeleteThat's been renamed twice in the past two decades - first to Frazers, then Murrays. My writeup for there was extremely short but that's often the case in pubs I've been to a lot - its harder to remember the specifics when its not a special visit! https://everypubindublin.blogspot.com/2020/09/retroreviews-n1556-murrays.html
