About Us

last of the real authentic
liberties pubs

The Lark Inn is one of the few remaining authentic family run pubs still operating in the Liberties after all these years. Our customers base is supported by generations of Liberties customers. The pub trade has changed drasiticially in recent years with business’s closing their doors for good. Some new owners have modernised and developed new concepts for the new residents moving into the Liberties area but many have failed. The Lark Inn is a locals pub filled with great charaters, comedy wit,  history, culture and a customer base that prides itself of keepings their roots firmly in the Liberties area. We pride ourselves keeping those traditions alive. Welcome to The Lark Inn.
