A traditional pub and restaurant is located only 2 minutes north of Dublin Airport, on the main road to Swords. The Coachman’s Inn is beautifully decorated in bright colours and Howth stone, and offers a wide range of traditional and contemporary dishes to choose from.
Specialities include seafood, steaks and Irish cuisine not to mention the vegetarian dishes which, along with the Childrens Menu, makes sure that all customers are catered for. This cosy 100 seater restaurant provides top value cousine in a very relaxing informal atmosphere.
In the early 1990’s Kerry-born publican Hugh Curran acquired this oasis of liquid culture and, under the auspices of leading architect Frank Ennis, recreated a vibrant pub/restaurant entity totally in the traditional idiom. In many respects that new Coachman’s Inn creation, though contemporary, fresh and professional in ethos and outlook, leaned heavily on the heritage, history and traditionalism of the premises that accommodated overnight wayfarers and merchants of commerce way back in 1776. In the intervening years, just as in generations past, The Coachman’s Inn has pioneered the way forward in dispensing renowned Irish hospitality, quality food and drink.Recognising the economic tsunami that was about to hit modern Ireland leading British pub group, Toby Restaurants, a subsidiary of Bass Plc, bought The Coachman’s Inn in December 1988. Toby Restaurants had very ambitious plans for this venerable old coaching inn but somehow the British licensed trade model of this era did not quite fit the Irish pub scene.
