Clanbrassil Street (/klænˈbræsɪl/; Irish: Sráid Chlann Bhreasail) is a street in Dublin south of the city centre. It runs from Robert Emmet Bridge on the Grand Canal to New Street. It is served by several bus routes.[1] It is divided into Clanbrassil Street Upper (south end) and Clanbrassil Street Lower (north end).
It is named after The 2nd Earl of Clanbrassil,[2] an Ulster-Scots nobleman. Clanbrassil (from Irish Clann Bhreasail, meaning 'clan of Breasal') was the name of a Gaelic territory in what is now northern County Armagh.[3]

Up until very recently, Lenny Garry was the quiz master in a quaint old pub called Kate McCauley's (formerly Kate's, and now known as Peadar Brown's),an inferior rival to the much more bourgeois Farrell's , which is only 10 metres away from the former 'Kates' pub. Some people have speculated that the migration of the hundreds of revellers who have switched allegiance since the debacle of 2016 is purely down to Lenny's quiz (or absence thereof). One way or the other, Dublin 8 is always a great night out and always full of mad yokes, more than willing to give you a great night and ensure you get home safely with a few chips on board.
