I used to work in an electric retail shop on geroges street in the 90s loved going to the long hall with good friends after work for creamy pints of Guinness, great times and memories. My favourite pub in Dublin is the long hall it's like stepping back in time when you enter.

The Long Hall still keeps it's old spirit even today. Still frequented mainly by Irish people. Hidden gem of the city centre.

Notice how the streets had smoother paving in those days. That's because we've had to go through 25 years of telecoms companies digging up the streets and not repairing them afterwards.

No they didn't. I used to cycle to school through the centre of Dublin, from Rathmines, to Great Denmark Street, and there were cobblestones on a lot of streets, old unused tramtracks and in wet weather, potholes Cavan would have been proud of. Smooth my aµ$€! The Corpo were not very quick to make repairs and when they did, they didn't mark the trenches they opened very well and the resurfacing was mediocre at best. You are viewing Dublin of the sixties through rose tinted glasses. If you cycled up Gardiner Street Seán McDermott Street or Summerhill, you could smell the poverty, unwashed bodies, boiled cabbage and potatoes. There was litter everywhere. It wasn't called Dear Old Dirty Dublin for nothing.

This has the feeling of an Adam Curtis documentary

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.

Aah yes, back in a time when the only wine we had in the country was Blue Nun and black tower, and no real coffee at all. I remember taking a sip of the Blue Nun my ma used to buy at Christmas and thinking, "how do French people drink wine? Jesus its piss".

Brilliant!

I love this and my dad had a pub on Sir John Rogersons Quay. However when I hear the claptrap about "good old days" it makes me puke. Born on the docks, the violence both domestic and on the streets was shocking also the slums were unbelievable. I am very proud of where I lived and even now the docks is a magnet every time I come home. But this crap about " Dublin in the rare old times " is pure bollocks! Daddy's pub was called Kellks.

Ghosts from the past

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 😢

Those days things were so proper. We must usher back conservatism and sensibility.

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.
