[quote:2ifcvdcg] Woot, finally able to have a pint, in a pub, without going into town![/quote:2ifcvdcg]
Harry Byrne's isn't that much farther down the Howth rd and has 5 Irish craft beers on tap (another on the way too), worth considering if Raheny is handy for you.
As I'm Clontarf based I'll certainly venture up to check out the Cock and Bull (if they keep the chain name).
