I have not been inside this pub for about thirty years and to the best of my knowledge it has changed ownership at least once since then. The current owners purchased and refurbished it in 2018 and before that it had not been trading for at least 3 years.
The Kings Inn Pub in Dublin, Ireland, is a traditional Irish pub with a rich history dating back to the 18th century. While the exact date of its establishment is uncertain, it is believed to have been operating since at least the 1860s, with some sources suggesting it may have been even earlier.
The pub is located on Henrietta Street, just a short distance from the iconic King’s Inns complex, which is one of Ireland’s most important legal institutions.

Last week I published photographs of Paint-A-Box street art that featured this park bench but when I went to the park to photograph the actual bench there was a person sitting on the bench, I returned later and the same person was sitting still sitting on the bench … I said hello to check that they were OK. Only, once before have I seen anyone sit on the bench.
I am still testing my new Sony FX30 Camera and today I decided to test using my iPhone to provide GPS information to the camera – I forget to bring the iPhone I should mention that it took me about six hours the get the iPhone and the camera to communicate.
Lightroom and Capture One cannot process the RAW files from my Sony FX30 camera but I have discovered that Luminar Neo can import the files.
STREET ART ON HENRIETTA STREET – KINGS INN RATHER THAN KINGS INNS
Kings In the pub The is located on the corner of Henrietta Street and Bolton Street.
I am always sceptical when I see claims such as “established 1842” however Henrietta Street was developed by Luke Gardiner during the 1720.
I decided if I could verify the claim [www.libraryireland.com/Dublin-Street-Directory-1862/135.php] and discovered that in 1862 Margaret O’Callaghan owned the Queen’s Inns Tavern. This is interesting because King’s Inns would have changed its name depending on whether there was a King or Queen in London so if Ireland was still part of the UK it would be Queen’s Inns.
Note: The Honorable Society of King’s Inns is the “Inn of Court” for the Irish bar: the Benchers of King’s Inns award the degree of barrister-at-law necessary to be called to the bar by the Chief Justice of Ireland. As well as training future and qualified barristers, the School extends its reach to a diverse community of people from non–legal backgrounds offering a range of accessible part-time courses in specialist areas of the law. King’s Inns is also a centre of excellence in promoting the use of the Irish language in the law.
A FADED GUINNESS SIGN OUTSIDE THE KINGS INN PUB ON BOLTON STREET
Guinness was founded in 1759 but didn’t publish its first ad until 1794.
Guinness stout is made from water, barley, roast malt extract, hops, and brewer’s yeast. A portion of the barley is roasted to give Guinness its dark colour and characteristic taste. It is pasteurised and filtered.
Until the late 1950s Guinness was still racked into wooden casks. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Guinness ceased brewing cask-conditioned beers and developed a keg brewing system with aluminium kegs replacing the wooden casks; these were nicknamed “iron lungs”. Until 2016 the production of Guinness, as with many beers, involved the use of isinglass made from fish. Isinglass was used as a fining agent for settling out suspended matter in the vat. The isinglass was retained in the floor of the vat but it was possible that minute quantities might be carried over into the beer. Diageo announced in February 2018 that the use of isinglass in draught Guinness was to be discontinued and an alternative clarification agent would be used instead. This has made draught Guinness acceptable to vegans and vegetarians.
