Buds in the snug: Niall Horan takes Lewis Capaldi for pints in his favorite Dublin pub

Mullingar musician Horan booked the discreet snug in the corner of the traditional Dublin pub and he had fellow singer Lewis Capaldi tagging along to sample a few pints of Kehoe's finest tipples.

Extra.ie exclusively revealed that Horan called the bar in advance to ensure his favoured snug was available for a few post-gig tipples.

"Niall booked the snug so it was all hands on deck to get it spruced up for his arrival," said a well-placed source.

"He told the staff that Capaldi would be tagging along for a few beverages as well."

Keeping Horan’s favourite spot free was a tough gig for staff at Kehoe's as the popular Dublin haunt was packed to the rafters on Saturday night.

"Keoghs was jammers. There were the usual Saturday night punters. Then the Yanks arrived en masse after the match as they wanted to make sure they got a taste of an ‘Oirish’ Dublin pub. So keeping the snug free was a task in itself," said the source.

And Horan has a habit of bringing his London social circle to his favoured Dublin boozer.

In fact, Extra.ie previously revealed that the superstar singer brought his long-term girlfriend Amelia Woolley to Keoghs over the  Christmas season in 2022. The couple had been dating for just a year and were in the lay stages of their romance.

At that time we also detailed how Niall and Amelia were tucked away in the snug-looking "all loved up,".

"They were really, really discreet. Niall was wearing a flat cap so you wouldn’t have known it was him."

And, to be honest, it’s the type of place that even if anyone had recognised him nobody would have bothered them.

They had a few drinks, looked very cosy together and were just laughing and chatting. They looked like any other couple in love and enjoying some Christmas drinks.

"The couple stayed in the snug of the pub until around 10.15pm before leaving just as quietly as they arrived."

Former "X Factor" star Niall – now resides predominantly in London - was back on home turf for his sold-out solo gigs at The Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
