"It's that time of year again. Christmas is closing in, and office parties are spilling onto the streets. So naturally, we're getting in on the fun ourselves. And where better to begin than in the nation's favourite third space: The Pub."
"So, what iconic public houses will we visit? What stories do they hold? And just how closely intertwined are public houses and our national identity? And what does the future look like for Irelands third space? Today on the Indo Daily, Fionnan Sheahan is joined by historian Donal Fallon, author of The Dublin Pub: A Social and Cultural History, for our inaugural festive pub crawl through the past, present, and future of the great Irish public house."
Christmas approaches and office parties spill onto the streets, prompting a festive focus on Ireland’s pubs as the nation’s favourite third space. The plan traces an inaugural pub crawl that visits iconic public houses to uncover their histories, stories, and cultural significance. The exploration examines how public houses have shaped and reflected national identity, how they function as communal gathering places, and what social and economic forces may influence their future. The narrative moves through past, present, and future perspectives to consider continuity, change, and the enduring role of the Irish public house in community life.
