"Patrick McKillen Jnr has done a fab fit-out at this one-time favourite, serving sublime fish classics and steaks galore Long before the word gastropub was coined by The Eagle in Clerkenwell in London back in 1991, Ashton's on Dublin's Clonskeagh Road had a reputation for food that was 'a cut above' for the average Irish pub."
"Established way back in 1874 by Thomas Ashton, it's had many owners and manifestations down the years, but it's always been a popular spot for drinks, lunch meet-ups, rugby matches and the like. It helped, I guess, that it's in an affluent area with a catchment covering from Donnybrook to Dartry, Ranelagh to Rathgar, not to mention Milltown - which also boasts the poshest golf club in the land."
Ashton's on Clonskeagh Road features a high-quality fit-out by Patrick McKillen Jnr and serves sublime fish classics alongside a wide selection of steaks. The establishment dates to 1874, founded by Thomas Ashton, and has undergone numerous ownership and format changes over the years. The venue remains a popular local destination for drinks, lunches and watching rugby. The pub's trade benefits from an affluent surrounding catchment that stretches from Donnybrook to Dartry, and from Ranelagh to Rathgar, with nearby Milltown noted for hosting a particularly posh golf club.
