Mad to think that Dublin 15 is go big and which such a huge population and we don't have a decent pub.

Dublin Mum

Yeah Bradys or Myos are probably the only pubs in Dublin 15 that have a decent crowd, and hardly local to the Ongar / Clonsilla area.

With decent pubs like the Grasshopper only a stones throw from Ongar, and the Strawberry Hall offering free pick up and drop off to Ongar/Clonsilla/Clonee, lets hope Kellys take note, or the locals will continue to spend their money elsewhere.

The Twelfth Lock is a lovely pub I have to say, very far to go though but for a bite to eat and a few drinks I don't think it can be beaten.

Where is Strawberry Hall?

Dublin Mum

Agree about the 12th Lock, but just find it gets packed and it's not great if you go with a group. Strawberry Hall is in Chapelizod- see below

Thanks Ronan trust me there is a few twists in this story before the pub even opens .If people think THE PADDOCKS is bad they aint seen nothing yet.:P

Why don't we all give it a few weeks after opening and/or a few personal visits before we allow ourselves to pass judgement? How can anyone forecast what clientele will frequent a pub before it actually opens?? Is there a sign on the door that says only those wearing tracksuits and hoodies or those with a criminal record can drink here??

Anyone would think the cynics here run competing pubs and are now frightened of the competition!

Ongarboy whats wrong with trackies and hoodies, So if you saw me and my capadres at the bar you would leave ? Heres a pic of us outside the paddocks. We be doing no arm

i think ongarboy is completely right!! maybe you should all give the place a chance before you shoot it down!

More accurate description of location is the Strawberry Beds.

You'll be looking forever if you drove to Chapelizod to find it. (I know that's it's postal address though...)

Dublin Mum

Thanks Amdublin, sorry posted reply in a hurry, wasn't thinking, I thought Strawberry Beds was implied in the name but of course it's not. Thanks for clarifying.
