- This boozer is one of the few remaining 'early house' pubs located in the Dublin fruit market area. Traditionally these 'early house' pubs opened much earlier then most pubs, these special licences granted in order to provide service to the workers and farmers who frequented the markets. Owing to its close proximity to the Four Courts, it was also frequented by barristers and solicitors for a pre- and often during work tipple. Many a brief has been studied and fine legal arguments have taken place over a glass of port. But times move on, and this original purpose is now largely obsolete, and the legal eagles rarely visit anymore, but the early opening (7.30am) continues.
This pub was formerly one of the best in the area, but sadly it can no longer stake a claim to that title. Most of the old characters are no more and a new breed inherit this pub. The Celtic Tiger has probably killed off the early drinking culture in Dublin, and now generally it's only a certain category of person who goes for a few jars in the early morning. A loose door policy hasn't helped this pub either. Although, not as popular as it once was, the odd time you might see a gang from the Trinity Ball or a Debs continuing their celebrations.
My advice is to go and have a look for yourself, take a day off work with a few friends and start the boozing from opening time in this pub. It is certainly an experience.
