This article says there are 751 pubs in Dublin. That's from 2015. I wonder how many now, and how many will see the end of 2021.

From being the dance capital of Europe 1n the early 90s, clubbing is all but extinct.

2019;

Sustained number of licensed premises – Pub registrations remained stable between 2017 and 2018; about 1,500 pubs have closed across Ireland since 2005, representing a drop of over 17%. Currently there are just over 7,000 pubs in Ireland.
Positive industry sentiment – Market confidence continues to drive refurbishment and extension projects in pubs and restaurants across the country.
Headwinds – Staffing, insurance costs as well as increased competition are considered the sector’s biggest challenges. Increase focus on food means pubs are competing more and more with hotels and restaurants for their customers.
Transaction Activity – A number of high profile pubs have hit the market this year in Dublin and regionally including: Copper Face Jacks, Dublin guiding €40m; The Admirals, Louth guiding €475k; Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Dublin guiding €3.75m; The Magic Carpet, Co. Dublin guiding €12m; Lenehan’s, Kilkenny; The Jar, Dublin. Bruxelles in Dublin transacted at the end of Q1 for a reported €10m & Davy Byrnes for an estimated €4.5m.
Brexit – The LVA recently reported that 55% of the Dublin pubs surveyed were concerned about Brexit. Bars and Restaurants were hit by declining levels of British visitors in 2018, but Americans have helped to offset this. The trend is expected to continue in 2019.

The fountain in james st was another kip

Broggies .I remember when Broggy wanted to run for the Presidency went to Court to try get a nomination .Then The Brown Derby ,Went there one night with my then Bird and her mate and fella .4 piece Band and Jumping Johnny Peters on stage we were the only people there .That was the Night the big Snow started .

Cabaret Pubs everywhere ,Go out in Ballyfermot .Dickie Rock on in the Hunting Lodge ,Eileen Reid around the Corner in Jackie Regans ,Joe Dolan probably on in the Lower County .Two of the Furies playing Ballads downstairs in Chasers .So pints in Ballyer then last bus into Town to go to the TV Club or National Ballroom or chance the Ierne and bump into your oulfella .6 of you share a taxi home tell the driver not to put the meter on as he was probably a Cosy if he was working Saturday Night s.

Chasers never had a downstairs, but before chasers downstairs waw Hardys..
Inanyways The Hunting lodge was another great pub for live gigs i seen johnny logan there after his eurovision win.
Spider Simpson was a regular there and for all the young horny fucks Toni the exotic dancer was a regular on a Sunday morning
