It was great to look at this. My grandad would have frequent these shops .however dublin it's a place I don't recognise anymore . born in James Street in 74 rared in Crumlin it's all gone to posh and to rough no real Dubs left because there is no Dublin city left. Its a miss mash of junkies,tourist,stuck up wagons, scumbags and some decent folk who have lost tere way.

My wife and I are heading over for two weeks in October. Our fourth time over. We’ll be 8 of 12 nights in the small villages (Athenry, Athlone, Donegal, Trim). All in search of the perfect non-commercialized pub. This film is magic!
@hector71872 ай бұрын
Wouldn't call them small villages! Athlone has a population of about 20,000..
@barryshannahan59882 ай бұрын
@@hector7187 Correctomundo! Lesson learned. Left this morning after two quite nice weeks over there. And, yes: Athlone surprised us for its size, doubly so for Donegal, though that’s in reference mostly to the sheer size of the county!

I'm from Glasgow and worked on the railway in Dublin 1980. The Guinness was like thick cream!! Now it's just not the same!! You have to have a pint in the brewery suite to taste perfection 😊😊!

No you don't there are plenty of pubs in Dublin serving Guinness just as good as the Gravity Bar.

Good video. Please make another because the way prices are rising a lot of pubs won't be around cause the working people and OAPs can't afford it anymore.

Pints of porter served at room temperature, a very acquired taste indeed. But I remember being in a Dublin pub, it wasa Sunday, I was going to the all Ireland football final. It was about 12:30 , and sitting ina corner was a well dressed wee man , I guess he was mid to late 70s. It was an old pub , nothing chic , but nice. He was sitting very content looking , reading a Sunday paper , pint of Guinness and smoking a pipe. The next day, the Republic would ban smoking in pubs. I often think of that seen , it was picture of contentment, and wondered about how that wee man would cope next Sunday without his pipe. No more old style pub culture 😢

An English friend of mine went to a small pub on the West coast of Ireland . He asked for a half pint. The bar owner looked at him for a moment then said , 'well you can drink the half but you'll have to pay for the whole pint.' true.

I wasn't a great drinker but I was in loads of Dublin pub's back in the day. A game of pool a large bottle of Bulmers and a J especially summer time. Going to the pub is expensive these day's, a arm and a leg. No wonder people stay in and order in. these days I remember it 60 pence a pint. How can they justify the price of alcohol in Dublin, rip of and shameful. What do the punters get for 6,7 euro a pint, nothing. I'm a Dub.
