A WARM WELCOME TO THE TOLKA HOUSE GASTROPUB.
Established 1756
Tolka house, formerly The Bulls Head has been the main source of hospitality in the Glasnevin area since 1756. This fountain of allurement, once a hostlery, acquired it’s first licence in 1848, at the end of the Great Famine, under the ownership of Thomas White. An act of parliament in 1878 saw the National Botanic Gardens come under the patronage of the state who opened it to the public. This was good news for Mary White’s Tavern. The name Tolka House was first seen above the door in 1883 under the new ownership of H. Briscoe. By 1901 Tolka House was under the care of the Ryan brothers. The electric tram then brought much business to Tolka House and the Botanic Gardens with it’s regular service from Nelson’s Pillar. The traditional ethos has been retained in Tolka House as you now find yourself surrounded by raised levels and cosy corners.
“On your way out listen to the gentle mumuring of the Tolka flowing sweetly beside the premises. Inside, the waters of the Tolka House continue to flow just as sweetly.”
Tolka House located on the banks of the Tolka River in Glasnevin. Serving up fine, Gastro-inspired lunches and dinners 7 days a week. Full bar and Beer Garden.
Great food, Great service, Great atmosphere.
