For Finn! And possibly Andraste too.



"Mulligans of Poolbeg St is one of Dublin's most famous drinking establishments.

Mulligans is a traditional pub that remains at the heart of the Dublin's vibrant pub culture. A meeting point for all kinds of Irish life, the bar has hosted punters from the world of acting, literature, horseracing, journalism and Gaelic sports for over a century. Mulligans encapsulates all the best aspects of the authentic Dublin drinking experience.

The Mulligans started their long association with Dublin publore in 1782 in Thomas Street moving to Poolbeg Street in the mid-19th century. James Joyce immortalised the pub in his book of short stories The Dubliners with the characters, O'Halloran, Leonard and Farrington. Mulligans became one of Dublin's most popular drinking haunts and never considering 'modernising', retaining the bar's Victorian décor and furnishings.

Mulligans has two different entrances that lead you to a traditional style pub with a wooden bar, tables and chairs and a low ceiling that gives the bar a cool, shaded and relaxing feeling. As you follow down the right side of the bar, you will come to a large lounge filled with a younger crowding imbibing and chatting.

Their pint of Guinness is legendary in Dublin and there is very little in the way of food which reminds you why your there, to drink and engage in pure conversation. Experience all the different currents of Dublin life in the revered drinking haunt that is Mulligans."

In other words it is a bit of a dump but the pints are pure ambrosia. If ye are ever on the ould sod...

    You recommended Mulligan's to me when I was visiting Dublin a few months ago, FMC, but I'm sorry to say I never made it there, having gotten a bit tipsy at another establishment (or five). All the more reason to go back again. There's also that hat the fiance left in Doolin. We had better hurry.

  3. Annie! How are ya? I can't believe you didn't manage to get in for a pint there. But too tipsy is a good enough reason for me. Yes you'd better get your skates on because...oh what am I saying, Mulligans will still be there.

  5. You may be interested to know that Guinness is trying out a new Guinness called…………Red Guinness!
    It is made the exact same way from the exact same ingredients, but, they don’t roast the malt for as long so it’s more red than black.
    I don’t know why either.

  6. Argh - wish I'd done a bit more homework before I visited last March. Totally missed that one, but won't the next time. Thank you, FMC.

    Keep the sacrifices they've made in mind, and take the time to embrace the understanding of how much these people must love you to have traveled so far for your wedding. Instead of sending your scanned invitation, it would be great if you create your own wedding website and invite your friends and relatives. Out of town guests will feel especially welcome if you give them special attention at the reception.

    The owner decided after the event to donate half of the proceeds back to the students.

    This was zero cost because the students went to local stores
    and asked for either donations and gift cards to
    purchase these items. The game would begin with them watching the collapse of society and the outbreak of
