McDaids

7 Harry Street, Dublin 2 Bars & Clubs View full details & map
McDaidsThis premise has been on Harry Street of over 300 years and having many functions over the years. It was once the City Morgue (ceiling is three coffins high) then a church of the Moravian Brethren (originally east European Christian religion).
More recently it’s been public houses with a particular literally feel. Patrick Kavanagh, Austin Clark and Flann O’Brien all crossed the threshold over the years but its most famous son was Brendan Behan who held court here for over twenty years.
Many pictures of the author adorn the walls and rightly so when he advertised the bar so eloquently saying once “Yeats can have his f—ing castle and Joyce his tower…I’m happy in McDaids”. All that high praise didn’t stop Behan being barred after he ejected his typewriter from the premises choosing the large front window as to point of exit.
Good pints and some patrons are the reincarnation of Behan holding court.
