Reviewed pub lore
Local notes
Architecture
Although there has been a public house on this site since 1822, the appearance of the current building is entirely due to the extensive rebuilding carried out about 1888 by John and Patrick Kennedy, shortly after their purchase of the building. Holding one of Dublin's oldest licences, The Duke has social landmark importance.
