DG0493 The Coast Inn

Those that pay any attention to the licence numbers may notice a different start sequence here - in the days before a national serial number sequence, they reflected the court area that issued them, and Skerries is covered by Drogheda. Hence DG, rather than the N or S that covered most of the rest of Dublin.

My trip to Skerries wasn't very well planned and could have risked being quite truncated if Googles information about where was open was accurate - as apparently not one of the pubs in the town centre itself was set to open before 3pm; with The Coast Inn being that one at 3. However, it was open when I arrived at 1pm - Google not being that useful will come up again!

One of the more recent openings in Skerries, The Coast dates to ~2018; with the premises previously having been Raffs On The Corner until 2017, although I believe The Coast Inn may have been the original name of the pub to begin with.

Its a sizeable pub with multiple spaces, offers food in the evenings only and appears to have a focus on live music. Every pub I was in Skerries was quite different from each other, which this being the most like your standard suburbia/commuter belt larger pub - but clearly those have their place and purpose, or else they wouldn't exist let alone be so common as to have obvious similarities!
