The Cork & Bottle pub, now reopened as The White Horse in South End Green, marks a significant return after nearly five years of closure. New owners Enda Murray and Declan O'Brien emphasize preserving the historical essence of the pub by reinstating its original name. Manager Michaela Hickey highlights the importance of maintaining the venue's rich heritage, pointing to its status as a neighborhood gem. Preparations are underway to enhance services, including a new kitchen and garden for patrons to enjoy a diverse menu.
"With a pub that has so much history for a local area it's important to keep that history intact. We're not the original White Horse but we do want to pay a tribute to that."
"It's such a beautiful venue with all the windows, the heritage ceiling, the fireplace, it's a gorgeous little site."
"We did think about putting a new name up there but we think the White Horse is an institution in the area; it's what it originally was and dates back so far."
"If ever they were to walk away, we'd want to see the name stay."
