Not at all Htaem.Did you not know there is a bus stop evey hundred yards in the big smoke?

Indeed there is but Donnybrook to Croker is still a bit away, especially if you're on a bus, you've been drink and you're bursting for a wee-wee. But hey, I've never been to that pub so I can't knock it.

I was only in The Celt once Cued, hopefully I'll get back there again. A good spot and a lot bigger than I thought. Sure we all have our own definition of a good pub. I used to drink in Brogans beside the Olympia, savage porter, great bar staff and usually some sport on the telly and some gallery too.,

I am old enough to remember it as McGoverns. It was a kip then. I never went in to it as Quinns. Clearys Pub across from Connolly Station just a few doors away from The North Star is The Mecca. A great pub with top class bar staff.

Good man Greengrass. A man after my own heart. The movie Michael Collins was filmed in that pub.

clearys is boring and fairly west-brit

Flack its probably the best west-brit pub in Dublin with all the Michael Collins pictures.

Cuderocket the pints are very cheap compare to other Dublin pubs, the pints of the black stuff are heaven and its a real locals pub. Some great pics of the Big Fella. Top pub.

Not surprised to see that. It is the one blot on an otherwise glorious mile long pub crawl stretching from Carthys to Joxer Daly's. This is what happens when publicans take, take and take more but won't reinvest. Hope they didn't do pub grub!

cuederocket, I like Clearys' too. Good atmosphere and a newish extension at the back with plenty of room.

thanks ollie, it means a lot to me to feel appreciated.
The celt, now, thats more like it (not the new part but) anyway the centre hasnt been the same since they shut the bar on moore street that didnt even have a name.
lads would be coming in all the time floggin the stuff they just robbed (rashers for 25p!) and if they didnt have what you wanted, they could "source it" and be back in twenty

I live in, and was born, bred and reared in the North Inner City thankfully so they're some of my local haunts!

A couple of nice boozers out your way in fairness. Kenny's or the Straw Hall quality establishments!

Flack,the pub on Moore St was Trader Johns.I had one memorable 7am session there with a few players off a famous midlands GAA club,that i happened to pick up in my cab the previous night.These boyos were blowing off steam and could drink the Shannon dry.I was like a pub tour guide.The good old days aghhh.
