Noctor’s: Sheriff St. Lower: Coming toward the l Noctor’s: Sheriff St. Lower: Coming toward the latter end of 2021, we’d had it fully planned and spec’ed out for a good while. It had been a slack year for the cause with all concerned in the DublinByPub ranks – assorted big life changes and a worldwide pandemic had given time its relished advantage to get between us. So when the opportunity to get the band back together and collectively hit a few city-centre pubs presented itself to us, we knew we had to make it count. It had to be one of our most wanted. It had to be Noctor’s. There was to be a half-day, a preferred route, and a plan b, we may have even discussed wardrobe at one stage. But in the end, pints, just like they always do, would make light work of all these well-honed plans, leaving a half-drunk troupe of us bundling up Sheriff Street under the cloak of darkness, a few weeks out from Christmas. Now let us, at the very outset, state that we have no interest in perpetuating the rough and ready classification that we've often heard attributed to Sheriff St. But with that said, we’re not looking to paint this part of Dublin 1 as some sleepy, oak-lined friendly avenue, either. We are but mere impressionable suburbanites. Suburbanites who exist and communicate, more than many, in that pub-talk realm of lore and hyperbole - and it’s in these spheres, exclusively, where we hear mention of, and talk of Noctor’s. And when this particular public house is up for discussion, the sentiment is never positive. It’s always tales and warnings of how “you’d take your life in your hands going up there” and that “you’d do well to keep away from that mad kip”, and so on, and so forth. So with these warnings and tales of woe, alongside other nuggets like the supposed fact that Jim Sheridan brought rapper, 50 Cent here one time, making our existing curiosity curiouser, it’s not long before we’re stepping through the adjoining financial district and making haste toward Sherriff Street. We may be, outwardly, acting like we’ve not heeded any of those cautions, but a spike of adrenaline, internally, is telling an altogether different tale. [1/3 Contd. in comments]

Grogan's recently uncovered the name of a previous Grogan's recently uncovered the name of a previous owner when carrying out some work on their sign - one James Bowe. Some conversation around the sign on twitter would suggest that this is the same family whose name appears above Bowe's of Fleet Street. Thankfully the ghost sign has been left uncovered long enough that I could get up to South William Street to grab a snap on the phone. And thankful, too, to this incredibly windswept and interesting person (as Billy Connolly would put it) for passing through the frame as I was there. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #architecture #barsofinstagram #cityphotography #discoverdublin #discoverireland #dublin #dublinbypub #dublincity #dublinpub #dublinpubs #dublinstreets #guardiancities #guinness #igersdublin #ihavethisthingwithpints #ireland #irish #irishpub #irishwhiskey #lonelyplanet #lovedublin #loveireland #publichouse #publife #pubsofinstagram #streetscape #travel #visitdublin #visitireland

Kavanagh's: New St. Verbose and all, as we’d li Kavanagh's: New St. Verbose and all, as we’d like to be about every Dublin pub that we visit – sometimes there’s just no escaping the plain and the ordinary from our experiences. And not that we'd like to label Kavanagh’s of New Street as such, it just happens to be such a pub relative to all of our experiences there. Each time we’ve darkened the door of this particular hostelry, we must admit that it on the occasion of having left the big and the green, and admittedly enjoyable, bombast of its nearest competitor across the way, and we’d be naïve to think that this didn’t feed into our view of the place. So do take that as a disclaimer, if needed. A medium-sized and well-maintained pub, it’s a rather bright space during the day and, as Pintman №2 would put it - a grand place to watch a match, though it must be disclosed that this is an attribute he affords to any space that has a visible television and a sky tv subscription. A large bar sits to the left of the space as you walk in, and a stonework arch catches the eye at the back of the room. Leading out to the beer garden and the toilets – it was in the passageway beyond this arch that we found what we considered to be one of the more conversation-worthy features of the pub – a note that read “no drink to be brought out back after 7 pm, as neighbours are complaining”. Something we all agreed definitely threw a sort of passive-aggressive shade toward dwellers domiciled in the pub’s proximity. (1/2… Contd. In Comments)
