Publin was given a write up on the BBC travel website as part of a feature by Sean O’Neill on Dublin pubs in the run up to St. Patrick’s Day.
For great value
This winter, John Geraghty founded Publin, a site that lists more than 200 of Dublin’s cheapest pubs. Previously Geraghty ran pub-walking tours aimed at backpackers. Despite O’Reilly’s unexpected location under the Tara Street tram station, Geraghty’s favourite pub is a pleasant, open space tucked under 170-year-old arched ceilings, with a non-traditional, neo-gothic decor. “It’s not in the guidebooks, and you’re a whole lot more likely to get talking to Irish people than elsewhere,” Geraghty said. Students, bankers and local office workers gather at the pub, making it a prime place to rub shoulders with locals.
That now means Publin has been featured in The Irish Times, The Daily Star, Hot Press, and the BBC. Hopefully more people will spread the word about Dublin’s cheapest drinks and best pubs!
