DUBLIN PUB: A SOCIAL/ CULTURAL HISTORY (NEW ISLAND) (HB)

For centuries, the public house has been an important part of the social and cultural history of Dublin. Beginning with the taverns and ale houses of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this book brings the reader on a visual journey that passes through familiar institutions as well as much-lamented public houses that are no longer to be found. World-renowned public houses such as The Long Hall, Grogan’s and The Palace feature, as do the stories of Dublin’s early houses, gay bars and shebeens. Includes previously unpublished photographs as well as oral recollections that bring the history of the Dublin pub to life.
