One of our favourite amateur social history projects recently launched a new website accompanied by an Etsy page where they are currently selling some cracking photos of pubs they have compiled over the years.
In a heroic labour of love, the trio behind the accessible pint loving blog, Dublin By Pub have been gradually building an archive of images and text capturing the worthy subject of ‘Dublin Pubs in the modern age’ for posterity.
The blog’s epic quest to visit every pub in the city has resulted in a fascinating selection of articles memorialising the city’s taverns while sharing opinions and reminiscences on the various city establishments they have frequented over the decades.
The design of the new look website takes its inspiration from “some of the typefaces seen on the facades of pubs throughout the city.”
With “no pub too rough or too affluent”, their lens is currently trained on pubs north and south of the city’s canals, but we are quietly confident that future expansion is only a matter of time.
As for the images, each handsome photographic print comes hand-mounted and hand-stamped, and as they so succinctly put it, “should look nice in any room of the house… even the jax!”
