and the outlawed Provisional Cabinet of the State, of which Michael Collins was finance minister. At closing time, on one occasion, a strict and officious barman was clearing the premises, shouting,

Davy Bryne retired from business in 1939, and in 1942 the pub was acquired by the Doran Family of Marlborough Street, who still own and run the Pub to this day, and although the clientele consists of more business types these days the decor remains original with many interesting paintings and murals of Joycean Dublin and a pub-food menu that is second to none.
