Mulligan's, Traditional pub in Poolbeg Street, Dublin, Ireland.
Description
Mulligan's is a pub on Poolbeg Street in Dublin with three distinct bars that maintain features from the eighteen hundreds. The rooms contain wooden furnishings and walls decorated with theatre items and historical photographs.
History
The pub started in 1782 and was first located on Thomas Street before moving to its current Poolbeg Street address in 1854 under the Mulligan family's management. This move established its place as a gathering spot in Dublin's center.
Culture
The establishment connects to Irish literary tradition through James Joyce, who wrote about it in his short story 'Counterparts' and was a regular visitor. Patrons today still experience the setting that shaped Joyce's writing.
Practical
The pub sits just a short walk from O'Connell Street and is easy to find. Opening times change depending on the day, so it helps to check ahead before planning your visit.
