One of the 1940s pubs built to serve the then rapidly growing Cabra area, McGraths is now one of only two left going - and my next visit was to the other.
The pub has a large frontage with a slightly foreboding entrance; albeit with windows unlike its former near neighbour the Cabra House/Oasis - stained glass windows that promise pints not to found inside such as Harp and Bass at that; and indeed is quite large - very deep - inside.
It was busy enough when I visited, but there were still tables available, and fairly cheap pints to enjoy at them.
The pub has the feel of being a proper Dublin local, but didn't feel vaguely unsafe, as was the reputation of the two closed pubs (Oasis and Matts).
