A perfect selection of Irish pubs that whisks readers away into the enchanting spirit of Old Ireland.Whether you want to hide away in the Wicklow Hills, cradling a glass of beer in a wood-paneled snug; gather round a turf fire, serenaded by fiddle players; or sip quietly in the cubby hole of a Victorian bar in the center of Dublin, this book takes you into pubs that epitomize the essential charm of Old Ireland. In this cheerful celebration, more than 250 photographs capture the essence of pubs from every part of Ireland.
