While others around re paint and re plaster, byrnes shows it still is the master,
With pints so devine and creamy, a trip here is always made dreamy,
With a smoking area like no other to behold, The lep it looks dreary and old,
alas my friends we have come to the end, Byrnes galloping green make sure you transcend.
Lovely atmosphere in this bar and lounge where young and old mix.the guinness is lovely as are the staff,and my lad friends fancy the courteous females who offer table service to everyone. a welcoming and relaxing place for a quiet pint
I visited the PUB my first time in 1965... The Byrne family owned the pub and Ray Byrne was my friend in the St. Conleth`s College around the sixties ... I came back to Gallopin Green in 1994 and visited Ray`s Pub with all my family from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where a great community of irish settled in the past.
After 30 years I could find again my friends from Stillorgan Bowling and have a great time drinking Guinness with Ray, John, Gerry and all the Murphy's family... Dublin is beautiful !!!!
Not the most impressive looking pub from the outside and tends to by passed by by the people crawling past on the Dual carriageway. But these factors belie what is a deceptively friendly little pub on the inside. Traditional in decor and furnishings (and clientelle) it is and ideal little stop-off on your way home through that south bound traffic of an evening. This pub is also an ideal starting point if your heading to Leopardstown races for the day being only a half a mile from the course an easy walk if the weathers being kind.
Exit with a pub lighter in hand, otherwise there will be no return.....
