    It's definitely closing, being redeveloped. Nice pub though. Great little beer garden.

    I seriously doubt that place will ever close for good.

    A nightclub has been there since at least the early 70's

    Its been 26 years as club 92.

    Being knocked down AFAIK. Don't think even Club 92 could survive that.

    Checked the planning, they appear to be planning to move a nightclub (presumably not going to use the Club 92 name) to the spare one they have sitting empty next door - got permission to alter the layout in 2017.

    Never darkened its doors, but when I've gone by it always seems to do a reasonable business. However that maybe because of the crowd of people standing in the door smoking and the inside itself being empty.

    Silver Swan, Burgh Quay. First pub in Dublin with lounge and no bar. Irish Press Dubliners Diary quoted at time that it was carpeted from footpath.

    The Shamrock seemed ok when I was there for a meeting. Some pubs around Finglas East/Glasnevin are ok too?

    Autobahn is Glasnevin and decent, The Willows is Finglas East and a lovely pub with nice carvery on Sunday. Haven't drank in Finglas Village itself.

    Yes, The Bottom of the Hill pub is decent now that it burned down.

    Despite being from the area never went into it but it always seemed to get a crowd. You'd go by on a Tuesday lunchtime and it's look busy.

    Had door men at all all times and one stage. You know it classy when you see that

    Closed for a refit, at least some of the staff are working in Dillons (reopened, was Walshes) on Parkgate Street while it happens.

    Neither are rough shops but not particularly good pubs, Autobahn full of guards and gob****es

    Willows gone downhill over the last few years I've heard

    previously The Junction and Barney Murphys back when I was at DIT. Neither were particularly great but it was the nearest pub to the college (apart from the seriously dodgy Aungier House)

    It was the Cornerstone back in my early Wexford St days, when the Jar was Solas and Solas was the Modern Green and Against the Grain was Carnival and Carnival was Da2.

    Nevermind Opium being the Village and the Village being Mono... (I was a little bit too young for the Mean Fiddler)

    Think that Spar is a Starbucks now. Pretty much every building in the picture has been knocked down or redeveloped since!

    43 Aungier Street has reopened as a pub after years of being boarded up.

    Situated on the corner opposite Bishop Street / DIT, it is now the Lucky Duck.

    Not sure if Rathfarnham is included, but the Tuning Fork was an institution.

    A proper rural pub with no frills and a good pint.


    Now an undertakers

    That is a shame, is nothing sacred?

    No doubt they will be burying former customers, or laying them out where they previously imbibed.

    Are you confusing the Lucky Duck pub with the enormous building site further up on Aungier Street?
