    yeah it needed a lick of paint, its a grand spot. apartments would have been financial suicide as the dollymount house went that route and is still lying idle. still, all the lovely new kitchen equipment from the dollymount house went into the cricket club. it used to be hell working in there now its a pleasure

    Its not a great time of the year for a pub on the sea front to be closed for redevelopment.

    Only closed the last week or so.
    You might be mixing it up with The Dollymount house DW.

    It's been partially closed since the end of April (the part that's closest to the side lane), I'm not sure when it closed fully.

    Hopefully it'll be open again soon as I like their carvery.

    I wonder is that Leo...he used to own Pebble Beach in clontarf then bought the dollymount,did it up and turned it into an overpriced goldmine.

    Have to agree, but most pub grub is just glupy muck anyway.

    Just some pubs charge less for the sh*t.
