Stopped by Johnnie MacCracken's for a late lunch this afternoon. after some sketching and a museum visit with my friend Peter O'Halloran. This pub has an amazing selection of beers on draft and a whiskey list that requires three pages. The food is great, too. If you are near the Square in Marietta, MacCrackens is a must. Since very few people were there, I shot a panorama using my Sony RX100. Used the wide setting and a "tall" pan mode. Brought it to life using PhotoToaster.

Recently I read in a local newspaper that the Waxie Dargle on Granby Row has been sold. The pub has been closed for a number of years and as can been seen from my photographs it does appear somewhat neglected. The pub was listed on Daft.ie at a price of €150,000 which is a very low price. Someone may have got a bargain.
I live in the area and currently it is really run-down at the moment but things are likely to greatly improve when the Luas Tram service becomes operational late next year. There will be two local stops.
The Student Housing Company (TSHC), owned by the global asset management firm Oaktree Capital Management, is currently building a large complex consisting of between 447 student bed spaces close to the Waxie Dargle. The Dorset Street student complex is less than 10 minutes’ walk from the planned new DIT Grangegorman campus which will have 20,000 by September 2017.

Just a little peek into the world of a 60 yr old 'nicotine pervert' who is banned from socializing in Irish pubs simply because... I'm a smoker.
The only consolation that I have is that the arrogant publican of a few years ago is now looking out over his bar at a handful of the 'god fearing' healthy people who take an hour over a pint of porter and who wouldn't spend a penny to see an earthquake.
I now know what Apartheid in South Africa felt like.
Lest the do-gooders forget: The Irish pub was, for centuries, the abode of the drinker and smoker until the 'healthy brigade' came along and wanted to see what was going on behind the 'Green Door'.
Right now, very little.
And, to continue my rant, I had to smile the other day when the 'shower of shits' who are charged with running this broken country were whinging that tourist numbers were drastically down.
Imagine being a smoker going on holiday to a foreign country with a couple of small kids only to discover that you can't smoke in a pub/bar and that you can't have your children in the pub/bar after 9 o'clock in the evening.
Having recently been to civilized Spain, you'd have to be a total galoot to come to Ireland for your annual holiday.
The can in the photo, which is slightly less than a pint, cost me about 1.20euro. A pint of beer in an Irish pub/bar in rural areas will set you back the guts of 4 euro...in Dublin, you can say good bye to 5 euro and, a packet of fags/cigarettes will cost 8.50euro.
Have a fun holiday!
Oh! Did I mention that it rained nearly every day this Summer.
At least you won't have to spend a fortune on sun screen lotion.
The Poet & Patriot is a classic local bar, where the regulars sit around reading the paper. It has the accoutrements of an Irish pub, including serious darts, Guinness and Harp, and pictures of famous Irishmen on the walls. But unlike your typical American "Irish-themed" pub, the Poet & Patriot looks and feels like a blue-collar bar. The tables are covered with Contac paper, Bud drinkers hang out to watch the Niners, and the whole bar is a smoking area. It's also got a Santa Cruz-ness to it, a sort of laid-back, former-hippie attitude. Sierra Nevada and Anchor Steam are served on tap, as are Molson, Sam Adams, Elk Mountain, Murphy's Stout and Carlsburg. The Guinness is available both room temperature and cold.

McDaid's is a classic pub and the old haunt of Brendan Behan. McDaid's is a classic, traditional Dublin pub situated on Harry Street just off Grafton Street and across from the Westbury Hotel.
McDaid's has a distinctive Victorian exterior and when you step inside you find an old style bar with a high ceiling and a smattering of chairs and tables. The dimly lit bar has all the atmosphere of a classic Irish boozer, a secretive shrine to the art of convivial conversation and the latest gossip.
McDaid's serve a fine selection of beers, their Guinness is second to none and their service is of the highest standards. McDaid's has proven to be very popular with tourist, students and discerning locals and is always packed to the rafters at the weekend.
McDaid's has retained its character by not changing its essential design, its still looks pretty much the same as it was fifty years ago. There is no loud music, much bubbling conversation and a very friendly clientele.
McDaid's played a part in Dublin's literary history as the local of playwright and novelist, Brendan Behan. McDaid's became the centre of a new generation of writers in the 1940s and 1950s who met in pubs in reaction to the quaint lives of older Irish writers.
McDaid's was also the one time haunt of Patrick Kavanagh, Flann O'Brien, J.P. Donleavy and Liam O'Flaherty. It is said that Behan based some of his characters in The Hostage and Borstal Boy on publicans he met in McDaid's and Donleavy's main character in The Ginger Man was supposed to be based on McDaid's regular, Ganor Christ.
So whether you want to soak up the atmosphere of old literary Dublin or just have a soothing pint of plain, check out McDaid's on Harry Street.
Taken around 5pm in Hanly's Bar Strokestown. It was a fantastic session.The man above was not only a great player but also a superb singer. It was the first session I had been to with a camera in one hand and no drink in the other. The lighting was a bit of a nightmare with downlighters from the ceiling giving hot-spots all over the place. I used f stops,shutter speeds and ISO's I never though I would ever combine!
When I was processing it I remembered when I was in my late teens (in the 70's) at a session somewhere in the sticks, a shot like this would be almost impossible as you would need a knife to cut through the cigarette smoke (in them day's!!) But if you did succeed it would be full of atmosphere which is something I think this shot lacks,somehow? One things for sure is that going to a session in 2013 is a lot healthier than back in the 70's.
