From the record · Verified background
Independent reporting and heritage records on this pub, drawn from a curated list of Irish news outlets, Revenue Commissioners, NIAH, and the Dictionary of Irish Architects. Every claim links to its primary source.
Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref S0253 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for THE GOAT at GOATSTOWN HOUSE AND PREMISES ATTACHED, DUNDRUM in DUBLIN CITY with CHARJON INVESTMENTS LIMITED as licensee.[1]
In 2001, the Irish Times reported that the Goat Inn in Goatstown was the subject of a planning application for a new "neighbourhood centre", and said proprietor Charlie Chawke stated the pub would remain as part of the development.[2]
In a 2021 profile, the Irish Times said Chawke's application to develop land beside his Goat pub had drawn controversy, and noted he had lost most of his right leg after being shot in a robbery outside the Goat Bar & Grill in 2003.[3]

Architecture
Like many of the other buildings on the north side of Dame Street, this building maintains its graduated fenestration pattern, which creates a pleasingly balanced façade that is enhanced by good-quality nineteenth-century window surrounds.
