Quite Pubs

Bredabe

Can anyone recommend a roomy quiteish pub in D3/9/11, for a casual daytime business meeting after new year?

*this might be happening on a saturday, so not a sports/dance place.

Quite right.

Business meeting in a pub?

Unless the business is pub related, why not go to a hotel bar or a cafe like most people looking to do business!?

Unless the plan is to get pissed..

The players lounge in Fairview is as quiet as you can get.

It would, it was my first thought, BUT as it closed/burned, not a runner for our timeframe.

The Lounge in The Two House in Baldoyle would be my recommendation for something like that, they do a killer lunch menu and the best chowder of anywhere.

I've never heard of this name before. Is it the old Grangers pub?

I would highly recommend the front bar in the Skylon Hotel, Drumcondra. Big roomy impressive place, plenty of opportunity for a private meeting, really good food.

Yes that's the location, and the similarities end there.

I’d second Clontarf Castle... I go there regularly enough for food and it’s never ‘over’ packed. Great staff, nice relaxing atmosphere, food and service are top notch and it’s a really nice and comfortable not to mention unique surrounding.

Of course, The Castle. My daughter was a chef there so I've been in a lot, very nice for a business meeting.

The Beachcomber in Killester - just pick one of the booths that don't have a view of a TV screen.

Other parties suggestion, Im not going to force them into a situation they are not comfortable. especially when I know there are pubs that would be quite in the early afternoon.

This crossed my mind as well, is it quite tho. I remember it as a busy sports bar type place.

Does anyone have any experience of the croke park hotel, is it quite or have quite spots? I assume it has *ahem, parking*?
Is Gaffney's in Fairview, still quite at the front?

Sometimes Gaffneys too quiet iirc ... as in everyone will know your business. You might want a little hustle and bustle.
Sheds at Vernon Avenue also might be too quiet that time of day.

The lounge in kavanaghs Marino house would be a good choice
