The last of the 'traditional' pubs in Blackrock village that I had yet to visit, this pub once had a name that sounds like the Whatsapp message you may get before an indecent proposal - the "U Inn". That was around 90 years ago; though.
As mentioned in the previous (non-retro) writeup, Blackrock is a bit rugby mad. Kelly & Coopers interior designer may have latched on to this, with the window to the toilets being shaped like rugby balls, the light fixtures in the side of the staircase in the main bar being shaped like rugby balls, and some other rugby references around the place.
And yet, the pub-wide sound system was playing the sound of the FA Cup Final instead.
From memory, there was a reasonable tap selection here - there's quite a few places in Blackrock with a reasonable selection, although not everywhere as we'll see soon...
