ON DORSET STREET

THE BIG TREE PUB [ DORSET STREET ]

I always thought that 543 was the street number and it was only after I uploaded this photograph did I realise that that the claim is that this pub was established in the year 543 - maybe the '1' is missing but even 1543 is an unlikely date.

This is popular with people on their way to a match at Croke Park but of course many forget to go to the match.
In Ireland people rate a pub as being excellent if it is packed therefore this must be excellent pub. My problem is that I have no bar presence so I never get served if the place is packed.
