Clondalkin Village features four pubs that are exceptionally close to each other; and this is the one closest to the bus stop which I was alighting from, so it was the first of four for me on this trip.
A vast pub with a very modern fitout, the bulk of the pub was absolutely rammed due to the Ireland rugby match that was about to start - however, for whatever reason, despite having TVs the area inside the door was all free; so I was able to get a seat pretty easily.
It isn't much of a spoiler to say all four pubs in the village (and the fifth outside a bit) were on the busy end of things on this trip, but I'd say that - this seating area aside - the Black Lion was second busiest, and coming second, when even fifth is still doing trade that plenty of places would kill for, suggests significant popularity here.
The usual suburban put setup of sports, food and evening music are all heavily signalled on their social media and on signs inside the pub.
