Mulligan's of Poolbeg Street
First Licensed in 1782, Mulligan's is one of the oldest pubs in Dublin and and has a long and colourful history.
The lettering over the door 'John Mulligan' is said to be the original.
Mulligans has a reputation for serving the best pint of Guinness anywhere and many famous people have sampled it over the years.
John F. Kennedy was a regular in 1945 when he worked as a journalist for the Hearst corporation and many international theatre and film actors visited.
For many years Mulligans has attracted customers from all walks of life. Newspaper workers from nearby were daily visitors as were dockers, unemployed, students and professors who mixed in the unique old world atmosphere.
A group called "The Society For the Preservation of The Dublin Accent" used to hold meetings there.
There are three bars and a large upstairs lounge. The decor and furniture is largely Victorian and Mulligans is one of the few pubs which retains that authentic Dublin atmosphere.
