The hotel pub was at the centre of events during the Easter Rising of 1916. It was briefly seized in the name of the Irish Republic by a detachment led by one of the barmen, but then taken the British armed forces once the Irish fighters escaped through the cellars. Although there were no casualties, the building sustained considerable machine gun damage.
