Synopsis
Dublin is a fabulous city filled with history and fine architecture. Every pub in Dublin has a unique story to tell having been the cornerstone of Irish culture over many centuries. This book celebrates at length the very finest of these with historical tales of social development, construction and rebellion. Inevitably, over the years, they have also welcomed many famous patrons from the literary, political and music worlds who have provided their own wonderful contributions to these stories. Patrons have also included vagabonds, poets, heroes and presidents.
Ian Hirst has chosen 30 pubs which each deserve their own unique place in this book, providing an enthralling read with many interesting facts. This will interest both local residents and tourists alike and should encourage many visits to this most fascinating and welcoming of cities.
