1021114 Premier Inn, Newmarket Square

Premier Inn spent a long time with a single hotel in Ireland; but have expanded to a significant chain in Dublin in the space of a few years - with five open and one under construction as of the time of writing this post.

Two of them incorporate former licenced premises in to their sites, so maybe they could call them by the previous name rather than giving them potentially inaccurate locations? This one being "The Liberties" and the Georges Street one being "Temple Bar".

Well, the pub that sat under this hotel was the Red Lion; and the hotel that once stood where the Georges Street one was was, erm, the Red Lion.

Scratch that idea...

Anyway, the actual bar here is tiny, even for an Irish Premier Inn; but is open to the public. I'm not sure why you'd want to come in; but you can. Toilets need a door card to be negotiated from reception, so there's further issues with just popping in for a pint.
