Very much looking forward to seeing the Bob Dylan film this weekend, and reminiscing on the time when Dave Fanning confirmed, over on the other app, a rumour we'd heard that himself and Bobby once darkened the door of The Lord Ed!

Sent this by one of the lads yesterday.
Ghost Sign of former pub - The Henry Grattan (Lower Baggot St) which was uncovered briefly during works, ongoing at the premises.
Never had the pleasure of visiting it when it was a pub, myself.
It was most recently a Spar 😕

Chaplin's on Hawkin's St.
Was here last summer and the entire customer base (10 people max) asked the barman to put on the sound for the Euros Quarter Final that was on the telly. He poinblank refused every single request, keeping the best of Johnny Cash on repeat instead.

My photo app tells me it's four years to the day since I photographed the longest pub in Europe* - The Hole in The Wall. Grand snap it turned out, too.

It's coming that time of year again, and I've been revisiting this 2022 page on our website where we ranked five Christmas-appropriate boozers.
I must do a 2024 variant if I get the time (I probably won't get the time).

Top 5 Christmas Pubs 2022 - Dublin By Pub
Christmas – it comes earlier and earlier each year. And arriving earlier alongside it is that time-honoured tradition that me and mine call CCP season. CCPs, not to be confused with The Chinese Communist Party are Cosy Christmas Pints. Though sharing many similarities to normal pints, Cosy Christmas Pints have several unique defining characteristics which

I see that the pub in Harold's Cross that got rid of booze and replaced it with board games is bringing back booze.

Photo of The Bleeding Horse I took recently and hadn't intended to publish. Actually like the street photography vibes the lad in the foreground brings to it.
Gave me cause to go back and read what we'd written about the place on our website. Check it out here:

CosyChristmasPints season is almost upon us, and as usual - our inboxes are awash with pub recommendation requests. This list we compiled during the year, was only supposed to be a bit of craic. But is coming in very handy for responding to such queries!

Bitta videoing going on in Harry Byrnes in Clontarf. I hear it's a Guinness ad. Last ad filmed in there was for Island's Edge, so hopefully that's not a sign of anything 🙈

Have noticed a steady trickle of followers on here over the last few weeks... The great migration from the other kip must be underway.
We'd better get to posting so. Here's a snap of Briody's on Marlborough Street on Black & White film from a few months back.

New post on the blog this morning. Recounting one of my more inebriated odysseys around Dublin which centred around a visit to the Lagoona Bar in the IFSC. The pub recently, and quietly, permanently closed.

Drinking pints with Shane MacGowan and waking up with the worst hangover of my twenties.
Okay, what’s the most ON-BRAND celebrity interaction you’ve ever had?
I once found Christopher Hitchens wandering around drunk and disoriented at ten in the morning, and showed him where his speaking engagement was.
