McGowan's of Harold's Cross — Restaurant in Dublin

Having arranged my aunts funeral in aug I had lots to do so I asked a family member to organise the food for me. It was a few years since I had been in the pub but I remembered it being fine. On the day of the funeral we were shown to the back of the pub where a young girl proceeded to ask if we wanted tea and coffee.
