Rough Pubs

How has nobody mentioned Finches

The bottom of the hill in Finglas is rough and can compete with rough pubs anywhere. Walked in their with a Dublin friend and he said jokingly, but loudly, 'keep the accent down'. The pub seemed to turn and look at me. We left.

We'd a couple of pints in The Bottom Of The Hill in Finglas after we came down from the fans game in Belfast. Bouncer on the door and it was only 6 in the evening .

Guinness was lovely

Bouncer on the door and it was only 6 in the evening . Guinness was lovely That's not early for there. Normally a bouncer on the door from when it opens. Only pub in Finglas village that's like that Clientele were rough enough looking but there was 4 of us anyway. One of them asked me in the jacks what the story with the bags we had. Told him we beat Northern Ireland fans team up in Belfast so he seemed to be happy enough with us. He was definitely a shinner

Can't say I'm too surprised given certain links that pub supposedly has

The old white horse in drimnagh - about two years before it closed and changed hands the place was a madhouse . If ya had two ears in there you were considered a fairy , and more than likely ""corrected"". Till robbed off the counter daily and the thieves hot footed across the bridge and in to the square . Lads used to order a round and just stare at the barman till he walked away without being payed . Unfortunate cos prior to that the bar was a good working class watering hole .

Oh I know. That's what I mean't. Any time I was in rough parts of Dublin, I never got hassle.Everybody gets tarred with the same brush if they're from a socially deprived area
