I came across two reviews of pubs in the city from magazine ‘In Dublin’. Both from 1977. This issue (no. 34, Aug 1977) reviewed:
- Mulligans, Poolbeg Street
- Davy Byrne’s, Duke Street
- Kehoe’s, South Anne Street
- Grogan’s, South William Street
- Dohney and Nesbitt, Baggot Street
- Toner’s, Lower Baggot Street

Nearly forty years later and all those pubs are still there. Most of them probably haven’t changed that much. Except for the price of course.
I also stumbled upon this lovely photo of O’Connell’s on South Richmond Street in Portobello. One of my favourite pubs in the city. At a guess, I’d say it was taken in the 1960s.

Also this snap of Doyles, then called The College Inn with The Fleet attached, on College Green opposite Trinity. It’s a great shot with red car flying past and yer man in the sheepskin jacket waiting to cross.
