One of the strangest looking pubs in Dublin, with an interior that sort-of tries to get there too - although a turret outside may make you think the interior would be faux gothic, you instead get murals. And a payphone, which I forgot to check for a dialtone - there can't be many of these left functional in Dublin's pubs!
Outside, the payphone theme continues as the pub supplies the power and CCTV coverage to a replica phonebox containing a community defibrilator (which has recently been appealing for funds)
A nice community local, this was the quietest of the pubs I've visited in this part of the city - but I was there earlier in the evening, and on a weekday; so I don't think this is the norm.
There is a function room upstairs which hosts a variety of regular events; something becoming quite uncommon in pubs across the city - kitchens, restaurants, music bars, guest rooms and other consumers of space within pubs have taken over a lot of the function rooms that existed.
