History

There has been a public house on this site since the 1700s. From 1875 it was owned by the Hogan Brothers, until M.J. O’Neill bought and renamed the premises in 1927.[4]

The corner structure is a four-storey, vaguely of the Arts and Crafts Movement, red-brick and early twentieth century, with Tudor-style projecting bay windows. There is a decorated iron three-dials clock on the Suffolk Street frontage. The building at 2 Suffolks Street is the original public house which dates from 1880-1900. The buildings on Church Lane were originally constructed as retail with offices above in 1909 and designed by George P. Sheridan.[5][6]

Among the students from Trinity College Dublin who frequently met in the cocktail bar in the 1960s were Brendan Kennelly, Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Derek Mahon and Michael Longley.[7]
