1012141 Holiday Inn Express

This hotel, a conversion of the former Eircom HQ, has had a public bar licence for quite some time now - but despite briefly looking at it, I never noticed where the bar was. I suspect I was paying too much attention to the coffee shop on the corner, thinking it might be in there.

It isn't - its in the overall reception area. I noticed it when passing on foot and decided to dive in.

There is a small bar with a small range of taps; and it really isn't set up for outside customers - but they do allow them. You need to be buzzed in to the toilets by the reception desk for instance, due to not having a room key and them not having some dummy jacks-only cards at the bar like other places sometimes do.

Anyway, the mission was to tick the place off, and that's done. I don't need to come back here and see if they do get to destroy the outdoor area of the Living Room.
