    Ok What in your opinion is the best authentic pub in North Co. Dublin these days?

    So the kind of pub with a real fire, where the regulars discourage the quality man from Guinness from cleaning the lines and where you don't have to avoid farm machinery hanging from the roof on the way back from the bar. You know the pub that can rustle you up something special like a toasted cheese and ham sandwhich if you require more than a packet of crisps. The toilets might be used only by the criminally insane or those foolish first timers but the kind of place you still like to sit back and enjoy a pint or g&t in.

    My vote would be for Nealon's in Skerries.

    However, on the food score - you won't (shouldn't) get a sandwich unless the bar has a fully licenced food prep facilities & they aren't to common these days.

    have to agree The Merry Cricketer is a proper Irish local it still has the country feel open fire the lot and good food but Cormack's in Balscadden is another good spot but no food
