KENNEDY’S
30-32 Westland Row, D2
t. + 353 (0)1 679 9077, www.kennedyspub.ie,
Founded in 1850 as a small grocer’s shop, Mrs Kennedy quickly realised that
installing a tap selling pints o’ porter could earn an extra couple of well-needed
schillings come rent-day. While the choice has somewhat improved to include
some world renowned IPA’s, stouts and ales; the old-worldly charm still remains.
Their famous ex-employee, Oscar Wilde, graces the walls where he once stacked
shelves. Located beside the three O’Callaghan hotels, there is always a serious
buzz at lunchtimes and after-work but
you can always find somewhere to plonk
yourself down and sip on a nice cold pint
or one of their renowned Irish Coffees. Be
warned, with food served until 10pm each
night, it is hard to resist a bowl of their
fabulous chicken wings or enormous fish
& chips once you see them served at the
table beside you.
Open: Mon-Thurs 10am-11.30pm, Fri- Sat 10am-late, Sun 12pm-11pm.

During the 1919-21 War of Independence rebel
volunteers under Michael Collins sought refuge
inthispublichouse.‘The Maid of Erin’, as it was then
called, was used by sympathetic clergy so that the
rebels might receive the sacraments and make their
confession in secret rooms. The small size of the
room and its proximity to the Pro-Cathedral led to
it becoming known locally as ‘The Confession Box’.
One of the smallest bars in Dublin, The Confession
Box is situated in the heart of Dublin in the shadow
of the Pro-Cathedral and near the Spire and Luas.
The authentic cosy Dublin pub is frequented by
local Dublin regulars and many repeat visitors from
afar. Feel at home as you relax or join in the banter
