Mulligan's

Mulligan's pub on Poolbeg Street, Dublin

Mulligan's is a pub in Dublin, Ireland which opened in 1854.[1]

History

The first Mulligan's was established in Thomas Street, Dublin in 1782. The Mulligans moved their business to several different premises until finally leasing the present building in Poolbeg Street in 1854. Mick Smyth bought the pub from John Mulligan in 1932 and ownership later passed to his nephews, Con and Tommy Cusack.[1]

The former Theatre Royal in Hawkins Street was near Mulligan's and the pub walls are decorated with associated posters, photographs, and showbills dating back to the early nineteenth century, as well as an autographed photograph of Judy Garland, who performed in the theatre.

The pub is mentioned briefly in James Joyce's short story, Counterparts.[2] Journalists and staff from the former Irish Press newspaper next door drank there during the twentieth century, until the collapse of the paper in 1995.[1] Many Dublin musicians also drank there as several of their management offices were in the nearby Corn Exchange Building.
