History
The Queen’s public house is probably the oldest and most impressive house in Castle Street, and though it may have once incorporated earlier structures, its three-storey elevation, squat windows and thick walls suggest a mid-eighteenth century date.
By 1863 it was called ‘The Queen’s Royal Hotel’ and the adjoining premises was known as ‘The Albert Hotel’. This is bound to have had some connection with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert who were married in 1840 and visited Ireland, embarking from Kingstown (Dun Laoghaire) in 1849.
