The Snapper (1993)

The boozer of choice for Sharon and her Dad Dessie Curley – the Cedar Lounge is where it’s at in The Snapper

The Snapper is one of the most beloved movies in the Irish cinema canon. In the film, we see the Curley clan regularly go for pints in their local boozer. The pub in question was none other than The Cedar Lounge, a Raheny institution that’s still going strong today. Pop in for one and tell them Sharon sent you.
Scenes from the celebrated 1993 film The Snapper (directed by Stephen Frears and starring Colm Meaney and Tina Kellegher and Ruth McCabe and the late Pat Laffan and based on the novel by Roddy Doyle which is the middle volume in his epochal The Barrytown Trilogy – but you knew all that already) were filmed in this pub.
