Pubs.
Old, beautiful, mesmeric.
Life-affirming.
Many waste their days fretting about some imaginary evil of indulgence.
As an older man, a viewpoint.
We all die.
Only some live.
This is living.
Yoga for the soul.

Three months from today will be JP Donleavy’s centenary. @GrogansPub seemed as good a place as any - and better than most - to plan for a day of shenanigans. Anyone else interested in a skite on 23rd April? @MolesworthGall @fallon_donal @chaptersbooks @TCDEnglish @KennysBookshop

A glorious and teeming cold house for dry January's humourless self-flagellation.
Even on an early New Year, Tuesday, a house that celebrates a lust for life.
Porter and books and good company and laughter.
Forever a theatre of joy.

Con Houlihan was a hero who became a friend.
Born 100 years ago today.
Some words from the heart.

On the day that Con Houlihan would have turned 100, @RoyCurtis68 pays a magnificent tribute to the legendary sports writer in a way that only the icon himself could have matched! | ✍️

Wonderful to see Paddy Finnegan once more. More than a poet (who even penned an ode on being banned from McDaid’s) he became one of Grafton Street’s eternal characters. Painting by Brian MacMahon and image by Eoin Kennedy of @GrogansPub. Sadly, it’s sold.

My friend Joey Magic is one of the people immortalised in the stained glass window in Grogan’s. The history of these artworks is my favourite chapter in The Dublin Pub. Anyway tonight, while celebrating the Irish Book Awards shortlisting, he finally stood beside it for a photo!

Thanks so much to Grogans, projecting this beautiful image of Paddy O'Brien from the book onto their wall. I loved Tommy Smith so much and I still miss him. It meant more than words can express to see it up there.

What a brilliant ode to our remarkable city. It’s not perfect, but by Jaysus, there’s still lots to love about her.

We’ve some great new pieces of art on our walls at the moment, but for some reason this one seems to particularly resonate with us… 😃

🌞”Some of the most coveted outdoor seats in town”.
🌞”Unbeatable people-watching and an almost festival vibe on a sunny day”
We’ll take that!
Thanks to the folks at @Independent_ie for the lovely words about our outdoor seating areas on South William St & Castle Market 👌🏻🍺🌞
