I know it's next door. but this is a famous Irish butchery family (FX Buckley) who source the meat from their own farm and turn it into delicious steaks. The lunch menu is pretty good value for the quality of the food.

3 choices of sandwiches and only one choice of soup...but its all excellent food at good prices. A real Dublin institution and a complete antidote to the charmless chain coffee-shops.

An ancient Irish pub that dates from 1595. Not very easy to get to from the city centre, but if you find yourself out the north side of Dublin county then its a great place to stop for a pint or even a few.
