The current owner Aidan seems a decent skin.

I've not seen or heard of any trouble here anyway. I've been in it a few times now.

Well I enjoy the odd rebel tune I won't lie and besides Darkey Kelly's In the City Centre I wouldn't know of many others that would be play the same type of Tunes. Also Just wanted to check out the crowd only a relatively new pub too and the pints look good Online .

Try get in there with Chris from Erin go Bragh is singing, he's excellent.

Cheers for the Advice HB and SGB  went last night Chris from Erin Go Bragh was playing  Quality and the pint was Cream .  Great nice little pub was abit dubious tbh I went to See Erin Go Bragh before once in the Tolka Park bar the event wasn't put on by the Club itself it was put on by one of those 1916 Societies flute bands unfortunate to say we could have easily got battered that night for no reason. Nothing to do with Erin Go Bragh now but that's why I was hesitant to visit but I was wrong Great night . 

The Wright Venue in Swords has closed.
