There has been a pub in this location since the days of Oliver Cromwell. The Bleeding Horse has a history that goes back centuries, first opening its doors to Dublin punters way back in 1649. With the help of a few pints, however, the exposed timbers, high ceilings and the minstrel gallery can conjure up the image of a medieval banqueting hall. The pub is popular with nearby office workers and a good crowd usually congregates to take advantage of the late night bar every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
