THE MILL HOUSE PUB ON LOWER KILMACUD ROAD
Located on Lower Kilmacud Road, the Mill House has been a fixture in Stillorgan since its establishment in 1967 by Patrick Joseph Freeney. Operating initially as Freeney's Mill House, it quickly became a popular local pub. A glimpse of its early days can be found in a black and white photograph from 1972, captured for RTÉ Television's 'Enterprise' programme. The image shows the pub's exterior, likely taken for a segment on beer prices, offering a fascinating snapshot of its past.
After serving the community for nearly two decades, the pub was sold as a going concern to John Lyons in the late 1980s, marking a new chapter in its history. Since 1989, the Mill House has been under the ownership and management of Panther Catering Ltd, led by Dennis Carey and Frank Ryan. This long-standing ownership has provided stability and allowed the pub to maintain its presence as a well-known establishment in the area.
Over the years, the Mill House has seen its share of local events, including a dramatic incident on Sunday, 23rd January 2011, when a fire broke out in a neighbouring vacant unit. The pub, along with other nearby businesses, had to be evacuated as firefighters tackled the blaze. Thankfully, the Mill House emerged unscathed, and the incident served as a reminder of the close-knit community spirit in the area.
Today, the Mill House continues to be a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a traditional pub atmosphere, a friendly welcome, and a place to enjoy good company and good cheer. The 1972 photograph serves as a reminder of its enduring legacy in Stillorgan.
