Pubs

Many and varied are the pubs of Dublin, but they all fall into a number of quite distinct categories in terms of atmosphere, clientele, and the quality of drink served. We present here six imaginary but archetypal Dublin pubs-- meta-pubs, if you will, for that crowd of semiotics geeks in the corner-- that capture the essence of the Dublin drinking experience.

• Dogsick and Bollock's
• Sweaty O'Dipsticks
• The Hairy Fiddle
• The Last Chance Saloon
• Heifers
• The Badger's Arse
