Seabank House, located less than 2km from Croke Park, is a local favourite for Dublin matches, and it is understood that the pub had enjoyed a major sales boost over the weekend due to the game.
Two men wearing balaclavas – one armed with a handgun and the other with a large knife – raided the bar shortly before 1am on Monday.
