Only closed for a year and a half and has fallen in to quite some disrepair in that time period. Hopefully it reopens as what it was
In Donabate, a closed pub may soon be revived. Cairn Homes bought Smyth’s Bridge House, along with the housing development Corballis East, and has applied for permission to fix it up.

As use of function rooms and nightclubs in pubs ebbs away, are guest bedrooms taking over? Probably not, but there's a few being added: everypubindublin.blogspot.com/2025/12/inni...

Díon is now open, so I think there's possibly only two more pre-Christmas pub openings likely - Token on Wed and probably Dollys in Terenure, though I might have missed something. 2025 list of what opened and may be coming is here, 2026 one to come: everypubindublin.blogspot.com/p/pub-openin...

Looks like the bar in Bolands Mills - Daphni - may be open, or else their photos have a lot of random extras in them. On the night I finally tick off the new Wright's, ensuring I remain incomplete for normal pubs/bars in Dublin!

My local-away-from-home, as such, is no more. Only to return somewhere else in future, I hope; and more specifically hopefully Paddy et al have interim options ASAP.
A big thanks to Paddy and everyone who put up with my nonsense from the other side of the bar. Hoping hard for chapter 4 🥺

There's a Dublin pub claiming it's going to start charging 50c/transaction fee for using card payments. Card surcharges have been illegal for *seven years* already; and 50c on a ~€7 transaction is obscene anyway. If you don't want to take card payments, just don't.

The impending death of MTV music channels has to be seen through a lens of a loss of why some watched music video stations. 20 years ago when I worked for one, countless guys a night spent £1 on texting in to see half a second of tit and a second of arse in a Rank1 video.

My pub map is missing most of Dublin's famed nightclubs of the 60s to 90s. That's because they, and about 1000 premises selling alcohol now, are not actually licenced as pubs: everypubindublin.blogspot.com/2025/10/not-...
