The pub went through a name change at one time and I have a pic of it somewhere,it was an attempt at modernisation which was crap.
It's now more or less back to normal and on the places to see list for visitors,but the sign above the door has changed to a white horses head,which is nothing like the original copy of a painting...wonder who knicked that ? Anyway,heres a bit of the lore on how the pub got it's nameand a fine pic showing the pub,the sign and the now obliterated Charlotte Street as was.

The battle of Rathmines created names to several local landmarks. 'The Bleeding Horse' public house, which stands at the corner of modern Upper Camden street, was established in 1649, when, after the Battle of Rathmines, a wounded horse wandered into a tavern. This made such an impression on the owner that he named his premises 'The Bleeding Horse'.

Beautiful photo of the area I lived in for so many years.

Noel, is it possible that you are mistaking Camden Row for Charlotte Street?

You have no peer in your knowledge of Dublin so I assume that you realise that the thoroughfare to the right of the Bleeding Horse in the photo is Camden Row.
The left hand side of the photo shows a glimpse of Charlotte Street.

Sadly, neither Camden Row nor Charlotte Street, survived the speculators.

The name changed to the FALCON,it was crap.Just found it ! My mate lived just 2 doors away from Carberry's the Cobler,who stayed there long after the top of the building was pulled down.

Well I remember bringing my family's shoes around to Carberry's in Camden Row for repair. That's a lovely shot of an area now so sadly gone, DTW. Thank's.

I had completley forgotten the Bleeding Horse was, briefly, the Falcon Inn.

Here is an old postcard showing Charlotte Street.

It's a bit misleading, because it is really only Charlotte Street from the intersection down. The photograph (in the foreground) shows part of Charlemont Street!
