Never heard of Homestead until I searched it on google there now! �� is McGrath’s not in drumcondra just down from Quinns?
I would guess you’re not from this side of Dublin, let alone Dublin, as your knowledge of the area is fairly sketchy.
The Halfway House is located in Ashtown, on the Navan Road. Cabra ends at the Garda Station and Nephin Road, 2 KLM’s east.
Comiskeys, Baggot Road, The Hole in the Wall, Blackhorse Ave, nor The Breffni, Ashtown Grove would ever consider themselves in Cabra, nor would the locals of those areas for that matter.
As Dublin is a relatively big place by Irish standards you’ll find that there are quite a number of pubs with the same name throughout the city and suburbs.
The McGraths, I refer is located on Fassaugh Ave, Cabra, it’s very much a locals Local. There are several other drinking emporiums in Cabra as well which I have not, nor won’t mention.
The suburban pub scene in Dublin is fairly limited and it’s hay day was back in the 80’s and 90’s. Any of the pubs you have mentioned or I’ve mentioned would have be rammed for matches any night of the week, back then. Most people go for something to eat rather than drink in their Local Pub nowadays.
Quite simply the Dublin suburban Pubs have priced themselves out of the market. With most people now happy to go to the Off Licence or Supermarket and bring a few beers home and watch it on their own Telly.0 -

I’m not. I’m a Nordie ! Croke park used to be the height of my Dublin knowledge before I moved down here.
That’s very interesting Pat. Personally hate drinking in the house myself, never ever do it. Nothing better than getting into the pub for a good pint on draught. You’re right though, the odd time I’d go into Walsh’s in stoneybatter, or the Gravediggers (although it’s very touristy) the local pub scene is quite quiet. Halfway house seems busy from a few midweek nights I’ve been in.
I had a few relatives lived and worked down here in the Celtic tiger and they said the pubs were hopping most nights of the week even out clonee /Meath direction.
Didn’t realise branding ashtown locals as Cabra was an offence!! Not fond of hole in the wall or comiskeys from a few visits.0 -
