257) Coffey's of Emmet Road, Inchicore, D8

(Now sadly permanently shut). First and foremost, Coffey’s was home to a short little man with an astonishingly heavy carpeted wig which demanded and indeed received everyone’s full attention. From the outside the pub looked like a rundown plug hole, but inside was refreshingly large and well kept. It had intricately stained-glass windows and colourful artwork the full length of the walls. It will be sorrowfully missed by local patrons given the economics of their trademark low-cost pints. Now where will carpet-head go? R.I.P.
