The council decided the scheme “would not seriously injure the amenities of the area or property in the vicinity”. Pembroke Rd Association had expressed concerns over the initial proposals, saying that “a local pub can be a wonderful social amenity in a mixed residential area, as Smyth’s has been over the years, but a ‘super’ pub in the same type of area is a problem”.
“Smyth’s pub may not have retained as much of its Victorian interior as Toners and Doheny & Nesbitt’s on Baggot Street or Keogh’s on South Anne Street, but it is of real value as a remnant of ‘old Dublin’,” he said.
