This is terrible news. It’s not as easy as you might think to find a really traditional pub session in central Dublin, but we took the tram out and enjoyed a great evening in possibly the most crowded room I’ve ever been in. As we came away, though, I remember thinking that it was becoming hemmed in by soulless modern blocks, and wondered what the future might hold.
If you get the chance to go, it’s well worth the journey (any journey!).
