Listing historyCultural mentions

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref N1879 as a Publican's Ordinary Railway Refreshment Rooms Licence for THE BLOODY STREAM at RAILWAY REFRESHMENT ROOM, HOWTH RAILWAY/DART STATION, 78 HOWTH ROAD in CO. DUBLIN with HOWTH RAILWAY REFRESHMENT ROOMS LIMITED as licensee.[1]

In a 2015 Irish Times Barfly column, Gary Quinn wrote that Michael JF Wright owned The Bloody Stream and had taken a derelict building in 1995 and turned it into the bar.[2]

An Irish Times walk article described The Bloody Stream as the old railway station, now a pub, and linked the name to a 12th-century Norman defeat of the Vikings of Howth.[3]
