Historic Pubs of Dublin

Dublin's pubs are its defining experience as the most celebrated drinking city in the world. Apart from being watering-holes, many were also once grocers, bonders, trading and meeting places. Others are the very stage on which the dramas of Irish history have been played out. The story of Dublin's pubs forms a social history of the city itself with a cast of hundreds. Not just the famous, either--Daniel O'Connell, Charles Parnell, Michael Collins, James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, Brendan Behan--but unsung heroes of Dublin drinking culture, too: legendary brewers, barmen, publicans and drinkers. 

Aubrey Malone takes us on an easy-to-follow tour of the 60 finest historic pubs the city has to offer. With sections on the city centre, St. Stephen's Green, Temple Bar, North and Southside Dublin and further afield, it is a practical guide for the visitor and Dubliner alike. There are maps and specially-commissioned photography from Dublin-based photographer Trevor Hart to bring the pubs gloriously to life.
