Great stuff from The Brian Boru over in Phibsboro, love it. Thanks to James.R for bringing it to my attention via Facebook.
The Brian Boru in Phibsboro is actually a great spot, my pub of choice before the saints ever take on Bohs up the road in Dalymount. This one is from April. “Buffit. Or Buffet as they say over on the southside”
Excuse me if I sound cynical… but it’s amazing how the family suddenly decided to put some effort into promoting the place and giving it a lick of paint after their greedy plans to demolish a 200-year-old landmark to line their pockets by building six storeys of matchbox appartments in its place fell apart with the start of the recession… the place had (purposely) gone to the dogs before the crash… Love the pub though.
Oh, and I think you’ll find Heds is in the leafy suburb of Glasnevin, not Phibsborough. 😉
Met the man himself from the video, post-Phibsbronx Joyce walk – sound as a pound.

Just noticed the comment around the apartment building, it really is a bit of a strange pub and can’t make up my mind on it. Slightly over priced, but it does bring a bit of culture to the area with regular plays and readings etc. Schizophrenically middle class out the back, but at least the auld boys still hold the front.
