Kavanagh's
No. 1 Aughrim St., Dublin 7, by George L. O'Connor in 1901. One of the locals I'd never been in before. You can't miss it's unique turreted brick facade on the corner. Seemingly it's been refurbished quite recently, and in fairness to them the place still retains some of it's original charm, this room particularly. There aren't that many corner pubs like this about, with perimeter windows allowing loads of light in. Makes a nice change from supping in quasi-light. There's a relaxed atmosphere to the place, old codgers chatting in hushed tones, curses about the weather, younger lads bemoaning the latest soccer result or fallen horse. No pub grub, but I can testify to the quality of the pint. One of those "salt-a-de-earth" type spots...a local bar for local people. Being local, I know I'll be heading back at some stage to add a bit of country to this true blue boozer.
