Strawberry Hall

Dublin


This beautiful pub, reputedly Dublin's second oldest, is set in the bucolic woodland of the Liffey Valley in the Strawberry Beds, roughly between the villages of Chapelizod and Lucan. It's a trek to get out here (the nearest bus stop is nearly 3km away), but it's absolutely worth it if you do.
