Its been a while since a pub in Dublin has been reviewed. I was in Dublin last weekend and stayed in Swords. It was my second time staying in this area and i have to say that i like it. We headed for dinner in the Tree Top restaurant over the pub. Applewood main street is where you will find this venue. It was my second time having dinner here and it was excellent once again. It is a fantastic setting and the food is very nice. Following dinner we headed down stairs to the pub for a drink. There is a bar and lounge available. I have been in both and overall it is a big pub. There was live music and a one man band entertained his audience very well. We were sitting in the smaller area of the pub which i think is the bar. It is very modern and a grand spot to sit and enjoy a drink. I ordered a pint of Guinness which was delivered efficiently and with a smile! It was a very good pint and my fellow stout drinker agreed.
The pub was busy where the music was on but quieter where we were sitting. The toilets were in very good condition when i saw them. It is a pub that i will hopefully visit again if i am in the swords area.
Toilet rating: 8/10
Pint rating: 8/10
Overall rating:8/10
Final comment: Last year when i was in this pub at about 23:30 on a Saturday night a guy came in selling the Sunday World. We all got our copies long before they officially hit the shops, a bit of a novelty!
