Steeped in history and tradition, Mulligan's of Poolbeg Street is the quintessential Irish pub and a Dublin institution. John F. Kennedy, Seamus Heaney and James Joyce drank in it whilst Brendan Behan was barred from it. This book recounts its long history and brings to life the colourful characters that have graced the bar stools within.
Mulligan's is more than a Dublin pub; it is an Irish cultural phenomenon. It has a unique and colourful history, spanning over two hundred years. Mulligan's has hosted the famous - Judy Garland, Seamus Heaney, Con Houlihan, James Joyce, John F. Kennedy - and, indeed, the infamous - police arrested a kidnapper there.
Quirkiness pervades its atmosphere. The ashes of a US tourist are interred in its clock. Barmen have seen ghosts on the premises. For decades, performers at the Theatre Royal thronged to Mulligan's, mingling with journalists from 'The Irish Press' who smoked, fumed and interviewed celebrities in it.
This fascinating book captures the atmosphere and essence of an Irish institution, loved by both natives and tourists alike.
