- The Irish Pub is a eulogy to the greatest institution in Irish society, the pub or more specifically the traditional Irish publicans who run them. The characters in this exceptionally endearing film all run and own pubs that have been in their families for generations and it is through their warmth, wit and wisdom that we gain an insight into the heart and soul of The Irish Pub.

Reviews:
"It’s like a safety valve for the population of Ireland," Keane says. "We probably have less psychologists than any other country in the world. But there’s probably no country in the world who needs them more." - The Washington Post
"The Irish Pub" plays like a portfolio of lovely postcards, with splendidly photographed pictures of quaint buildings, cobbled streets, breathtaking landscapes, and smiling faces as hollowed and worn as the centuries-old stone floors of the title taverns. - The Boston Globe - บันเทิง
I turned 60 years old this year,I’ve been back in England nearly five years after twenty years in Ireland and I feel alienated in my own country. I’m so homesick and this film has made up my mind,I’m going back home to my lovely friends in Ireland.
Come back, John. There's a cold stool with your name on it.
John come on home🍻 first pint on me.
Are you from County Mayo?

My wife and I visited Ireland in 2015 and miss it terribly. My wife's heritage is from Kildare and Waterford, looked into retiring there as soon as we got back and found out the law for retiring from the US changed in early 2015, too bad for us. We agreed we'd both move there in an instant. We never met such friendly people ever, absolutely beautiful.
Love conversation rather than the sports bars with constant television. Chat and a drink, some stories. Humanity. Irish warmth.
There's nothing better!! The Irish are fantastic for a good chat, and they're brilliant story tellers!! I could listen to them all day!! 🍀
And charm...
yeah I worked in a bar, two rules: no tv and no budweiser...you'd be amazed how nice the place was
A pub feels more cozy
Many of old jabbering men who wouldn’t stop talking I had to rotate there jaws.
Since this documentary has came out, I have become a father to a son. I wanted to name him something with Irish roots, and its because of this I named my son Liam. Thank you for this.
55yrs in Chicago but still miss Ireland where my heart will always be
These are the BEST kind of pubs. Family run and community based. Brings back positive childhood memories, decent establishments like this have been in decline. The wisest men with the most knowledge didn't all sit in universities. Best shared knowledge came from the family run, community based pubs. May your family keep going for generations (love and light throughout covid)
Wonderful, I walked across Ireland in 1998, I will never forget the Irish...
Dano is my favourite character here and he nails it. If it wasn’t for pubs, many pensioners would have nothing. They must be hit terribly hard this year...loneliness is a terrible disease.
Cheer's dano
this resonates. the pensioners are us but when we are older, more or less. how we treat them is how we treat ourselves. the quality of life we avail for the weakest is a mirror of the health of our commons.
Pensioners around the world have suffered tremendously by the isolation of Covid. For many, it is like solitary confinement. I don't know about Ireland, but Japan is one of the very worst. There is no place for seniors to interact with anybody. They have to stay alone in their tiny apartments and watch the same old stuff being repeated over and over and over on television. It is a wonder that most of them haven't just given up.
Nice words Calvin
I wish I could cross the Atlantic and have a delicious pint of Guinness with Dano right now.
The only Irish saying I know... " May you live as long as you want. And never want as long as you live..."
i like that
More philosophical, the saying I know is: "May you live as long as you want to, and want to as long as you live!"
Now I know 2 , as do you
A classic one is "May you aleays have wind in your back" but i like the more modern version more "May the wind at your back not be your own!"
The one you’ll hear most at a pub. Is some tiny old man screaming. “ gaaah I’ll cut ya tongue out”
"You'll be alright coming in but you will have to watch your step going out... Can I have another pint please."Lol. Absolute love the old Irish boys. Awesome 👍

The old Irish boys as you call them, are what make the Irish pubs! They are the true "characters" of Ireland! ☘️
A piece of Irish history and culture most of us will never know.
Feel extremely homesick after watching this. Five years living in Toronto and I can’t put into words what Ireland means to me. It’s made me more grateful and patriotic.
I came home after 4 years in Toronto with similar thoughts. Very quickly, I became homesick for Toronto instead. Bu that was in 2010 when the Celtic tiger had died
@@krichard2346 My brother came over around then too for the same reason. Toronto seemed better back then, better craic and more character.
I only discovered this doc last night and I feel the same as you
Haha I’m also in the GTA
No place like home
Probably going to pack my bags
5 years in China. Feeling the same. Would kill for some prawn cocktail tayto, a nice smithwicks and the craic.
@@jackpeng8289 haha I’m the same, the folks send over Tayto and they’re gone quick. Can’t even get a proper chicken fillet role here
I hope the traditional pubs in Ireland and England make it through this pandemic. Cheers from USA.

One of the best films / documentary i have seen on you tube for a long time , a timeless classic , a big thank you ...these folk are a nation treasure with so much history..
Agree - it does what good docus do - moves your heart, mind and soul, and leaves you with something substantial.
I finally got to Ireland in Autumn 2019 after a lifetime of planning on it. I went by myself, rented a car, and drove around the entire coastline and much of the interior for over a month, which was a perfect amount of time. I was in pubs every day I wasn’t hungover from a couple of runaway nights in pubs from which I needed to recover, a couple of which are in this doc. I just couldn’t believe the people. Being Irish American, and loving to talk and meet people, I was of course welcomed everywhere (“Oh you’re an O’Shea?! You’re the spitting image of my cousin Jimmy O’Shea himself down the road. You should go see him. Let me buy you a pint.” Happened all the time.) I just came into some money and have nothing else going these days, and I’d go back tomorrow if anyone could. But even beyond COVID, the political situation is catastrophic, and I could see that when I was there.
Absolutely correct, globalism has infected Ireland as it has everywhere. Covid is a con ,its communism . A trojan horse.
don't mind them,go back again,we'll be grand.
I'd happily spend the rest of my life in any one of these pubs.
At least for a few hours each day, to meet my neighbors and to support MY local institution.
What a lovely movie. I love seeing old traditions and customs being salvaged for the next generations.
I feel lucky to have a Pub here in the states that is like these Irish pubs. Old building, unchanged, lots of history, good beer, conversation. Has a jukebox but it's rarely played. We go there to talk. They have like 600 different beers too
So soul touching indeed.
I needed a few tissues to get through this one.
Thank you for creating & sharing this wee masterpiece, regarding the beautiful Irish & their pub history.
To the Irish peoples, do keep your old traditions alive & well, for if ever gone, would be forever lost & deeply missed & that, would be so very sad.
Long live the special, beautiful & amazing Irish!!
We’ve seen this beautiful movie we just love it we watch it in the last lock down we’re in lock down again in Wales horrible and sad would love to be in Ireland rather be there beautiful beautiful music love you people.Peace to you all .🍷🎶🎶🐑🐑🐑🐑🎵🎵🎵🦠🦠🦠🦠😙😷

This is what real life used to be like.. Its so sad that its all being stolen from us..
STOLEN.
Stolen? Life is what you make it.
Stolen by whom?
Yup .
This reminds me of the pubs that I drank in some 20+ years ago, sadly most have closed now and the ones that have survived have gone all sports bar and modern. Would love to turn the clock back😪
Beautiful and you see the natural warmth, good nature and intelligence of the people.
More than a few bars in the American Old West began their lives in Ireland and were shipped across ocean and rugged land to their destinations. The bar in one of the favorite saloons of my younger days shipped from Dublin and arrived to the US territory in 1881. Amazing bar. Even drinking plain whiskey, the presence of the bar made it seem prestigious.
Well said . Seems all we can do is Reminence . Brn.63 calif
Brings to mind when on my lunch break from the Secondary school in the town my mother came to town to shop. I used to meet her at a local pub and we would go into the snug apart from the bar. My mother would be brought a glass of port and I would have a cup of hot tea with my sandwich. Such happy memories.
I used to live in Ireland, watching this movie I nearly cried. Such fond memories I have of Ireland and the people. Will always stay in my heart and mind.
Lovely words, come back some day!
@@dannymcmince I will have to
Where you live now?
Ah don’t lie , you cried ❤️
I'm a cabinetmaker and Irish American . I've built too many coffins. God Bless Ireland and God Save America.
lovely yet melancholic at the same time ,i suppose much like the Irish themselves .I hope these beautiful dwellings can survive the current situation for we need these places now more than ever.
I got to experience a life in Ireland for a little bit and those are my sweetest memories, I'll always be grateful for all the kindness and friendship I found there.
“His chauffeur’s outside waitin’ for him.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Love that this is in my blood.
Brought back happy memories of our time living in Boyle, especially Paddy Daly´s, Gerry & Alice Mattimoe and Creightons bar. Not forgetting Hough’s bar in Bannagher, County Offaly. Great bars, great people, great pint!
Only the Irish can make you laugh and cry at same time
So very true!
Yes that’s the culture between the devil and the deep blue sea. 😀
true
Lol. I love those “only the ___ can make you ____.” It’s never really true... just another person thinking they’re clever.
@@JustFiddler but it’s not.
The very best film on TH-cam, thank you
It's just so strange to be so homesick for a place I've never been. Even when I was a kid in kansas seeing pictures or film from Ireland would make me wanna cry. What's wrong with me???
Nothing mate,only been to Ireland once myself and I'm in England.
Cheers. 👍🍺
have been to ireland 2 times now and believe me these little bars are just as in this movie all over ireland and the people are fine welcoming people..people bying food and things on one part and drinking across the other side fantastic....one problem take an umbrella....but it sure is green and beautiful..
Go. You won't be disappointed.
@@thecatalunya1 lovely thing to say about my home 🇨🇮☘️ sad to see our sell out government turning it into a Communist country,,😥😥😥
Because it’s where you are meant to be☘️ Come over and find yourself and get lost in our peace and quiet.
"Don't rush life", to which I add "Have a pint...or ten". Perfect.
What a wonderfully made film! Great story-telling characters, capturing the atmosphere. Long may these pubs survive in this present world.
Great film now. I'm only Irish on paper but call this land my home. I wish I could take over an old pub from an owner with no one else to take it on and keep on the tradition of whatever he's done for all his years. Getting to know the old regulars and listening to their wisdom and stories would be truly amazing I'd imagine.
born in england to irish parents i am so proud
Good man☘️👍
☘️🥃
People like you played a vital role in our independence. Very grateful!
Me too
I was living in Tralee and some pubs were great
I’m living in the Middle East and missing this atmosphere what a great description of authentic pubs like these. Very good characters running them great story’s great people. Would feel like home in any of these pubs with Guinness. Very good documentary I hope the Lock down will not affect these people too much
An Irish woman broke my heart 30 years ago. I never got over her. It took 15 years where I did not think about her every day. Never heard from her again. This film brings her memories back.
I feel for you..I had a girl in England and we broke up in 1990/1 and I've never stopped thinking about her..I've moved on but she always pops up on my mind! I would love to speak to her again..
Often nothing is so tristful as unrequited love.
Very well done folks ... PLEASE DON’T CHANGE IT ... 🥰✨🙏🏻💫
I've seen this on my DVD about 68 and a 1/2 times, so I have. Lovely doco.
Not a drop of Irish blood in me. Yet when I visited Ireland for the first time with my family in 2018, my time in pubs chatting with the locals made me feel the pride the Irish have in being Irish, and the absolute joy which can only come over a pint and a story. Cannot wait to go back to Ireland to have a pint with friends I haven't met yet. This film is an excellent reminder of that feeling.
Turns out that Mohamed Ali had some Irish ancestry too. He visited, even though he couldn't speak anymore, but they received him warmly and an Irish son and of course, as a fighter too. Sometimes it's a beautiful world - these days.
Everyone in Ireland becomes your friend everywhere!
Such an amazing doc. Everything i love about the warmth of Irish people. The beauty & purity of pub culture from days gone by. Wonderful x
My mother was born there in the 1920's, My grand parents were a meeting of the Keane and O'Connor clans. I've never had the opportunity to go over there but I do have more cousins there than in the U.S. This movie really hit home and gave me a sense what she grew up in.
I made my first trip to Ireland 4 years ago and fell in love with the country and the people. The most hospitable folk in the world.
How peaceful. The children look so happy and innocent.
This Documentary/Film.. is amazing... it made me laugh.. and made me teary. Thanks to all involved for making this. I have been in two of these pubs several times and there is something extra special going into a family owned irish pub going back generations... well done to all and Please God.. Our Irish way of life will re-open soon. Go Raibh Mile Maith Agut.
This brought back lovely memories of our holidays in Ireland and discovering pubs like this and the friendly people. Missed it this year but will be back in County Kerry next year hopefully once this virus is under control.
It's already under control, but the govt. doesn't want to admit that because they ENJOY tormenting people.
Going August 2022. Can’t wait.
Wow, wow, and wow!!!!! That's a stunning piece of work and it makes me feel so proud to be Irish
I'm proud of them too, and I'm not even Irish!
@@timbimjim514 Thanks so much, dear Friend!!!
@@RobertoHWalsh God bless your wonderful nation of good souls.
I recall hearing the chants, "Up the Irish", and then the chaos and ruckus as we charged onto the rugby fields
My Grandchildren want me to help them with a time capsule to bury on land we will be leaving next year. I'm going to preserve a copy of this and include it in the capsule. We hail from Kingscourt Co Cavan, and this film is, and will be, a thing of historical beauty... a treasure for sure! Thank you

Visiting Irish pubs is on my bucket list. My wife and I found the owner with his kids in the way at @ 28:00 was adorable.
Those two old Irish ladies melt my heart. Nice to see that there's still old school girls. Irish are a beautiful race .
This film is a real gem, I'm so glad I stumbled upon it.
The architecture and interiors look so nice there.
Just watched this loved the lil aul1
From up the north top class iv worked in the pub trade for 20 years
I walked past shefflins pub WATERFORD wen I was 14 asked any jobs he asked how old are yea I said 16 start Saturday night at 8 !!! I can honestly say I have met the best friends in the world from getting that job iv seen it all herd every story lie tail that you can imagine but after 20 years working
In the bar industry I can tell you all I ended up with was a gambling problem a cocaine addiction and a alcohol tolerance that can't be compared to any living human but on the plus side I have seen it all
I want to tell u few tails
An old man at the counter tells me he had the tv licence man at the door looking for the licence he said iv no tv the guy says u an areal on the roof ....the
aul lad says iv milk in the fridge does that mean iv a cow out in the garden
Another classic...few the traveller lads in the pub did a patio job for a woman so few weeks after they did the job she comes bursting in the door screaming her head off on about the patio only down 6 week an weeds coming up true it head of the traveller family shouts for 200 euros you hardly expected Rose's out of it
Loved it! I have never been to Ireland, but I feel a little bit closer to it after this movie! Some of my ancestors lived there! God bless you all!
My life's wish is to go to Ireland and visit as many of these pubs as possible and meet some of the people who own/run them. I'm sure a few have passed, but some still remain. I've seen this movie about 5-6 times and it always warms me. We don't have that 'chat' culture in the pubs & bars here.
This has been the best film I've watched in a very long time. I was fortunate to visit a number of pubs back in 2011. Limerick, Galway, Dublin. It was absolutely wonderful. People just chat, share life, & welcome you into their world. It's so pure.
Where I grew up (this is back in the 80s), women, girls, along with boys under 10 or so went to the lounge of the local pub. You'd be upstairs with your mother, basically, neighbours etc. Then at some point you'd be downstairs in the bar with your father and going up into the lounge was no longer allowed.
There was a hatch just outside the bar room where women bought drink if needed, though a woman buying her own drink was frowned upon. If a woman entered the bar it was considered a major scandal. It was initially a shock to me when I was able to go to pubs on my own in the city and saw women standing at the bar, drinking pints, with men.
It seems like a million years ago and Ireland has changed a lot since then, and for the better.
Very moved by this film... I love the Irish...must be my Cornish blood.
Been to Ireland a couple of times, stopped in Galway for about a month and visited friends in Bellmullet Co Mayo. The pubs are amazing, interesting places, as well as the beer & people !!!...😎👍👍
Cracking little film, little piece of Irish social history.
Yes indeed!!!
These are type of movies that I love to watch. Relaxing, beautifully produced with awesome people
Amazing. A Finn living in Cork here, God bless you all.
Do you know how hard it is to find this DVD?!? I love and cherish my people. So proud ☘️. I’ll be watching AGAIN tomorrow on St.Pat’s with a Pint of “The Black stuff” and a glass of Jameson. Slainté.
That Guinness "tastes like more" priceless.
thank god .thank youtube for knowing still the true human feelings knowing people living on this planet .thank everyone who involved to do this documentary.
This just warmed the cockles of my heart.
Lovely documentary ❤️🍀❤️
More than my little project to document all the pubs in one county in beauty of Ireland by a transylvanian guy even in 2020.❤️Pubs of Meath❤️
I saw this on Amazon Prime & I glad some one put it on TH-cam.
History, love, commitment, cultural repository, safety-valve. What a beautiful concept. I love the Irish and everything they represent: the community, music, literature, and their pubs.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Spontaneously laughed & smiled throughout at the intriguing participants. I hope the traditional pub culture survives & thrives.
Love this documentary......I miss my pub.
Us too! Thanks for watching.
Irish people: Please, don't change. You are so wonderful. A huge kiss from a Spanish woman who, i n "her heyday", loved to go to Irish pubs...... and continue doing so!.
Beautiful documentary of an era that's about to go wayside. Nice to see that there are still folks holding the grounds. A hundred more years to you all !
This was great, just can't help but feeling that I watched this a few years back... Ah, as is the Irish pub experience...
What can I say about the Irish pub? Heaven on earth! When I was a student in Ireland, from the late 70s to the mid-80s, my favourite pubs were:
Galway
• The Cellar - downstairs was students from RTC Galway, upstairs was the UCG crowd
• The Hole-In-The-Wall - quiet Saturday afternoons
• The Skeff - first round
• The Quays - watched the banned film, Life of Brian
• The Bunch of Grapes - compulsory stop on the crawl
• The Kings Head - Irish music.
In Cork:
• UCC Student Bar - my first experience of watching MTV
• Starries - The Western Star - riotous student pub
• The Long Valley - great for long afternoons, reading a novel
• The Abbey Tavern - quiet and close to the Chinese takeaway I once lived above
• Bodega - full of sailors and hookers. Bodega on Saturday night & Confession the next day
Then, there are a whole lot of other pubs whose name I can’t remember, but their pints were cheap and the craic was mighty.
A superb wee documentary shared.
As I age, I realise that my ancestral homeland, Ireland, is exactly where I want & need to be.
The genuine warmth & very welcoming nature of the Irish people & the beauty of nature abound, is what makes Ireland so very special.
Many of my Irish ancestors hailed from Co Clare, Co Limerick & Northern Ireland & the other side of my family, from Co Roscommon, Co Galway, Connemara & other nearby regions, so I yearn to see these regions again & I look forward to entering a traditional pub, ordering a nice & creamy Guinness, then striking up a chat with the wonderful locals (of which there are still many abound!).
Ironically, I just returned from Ireland & this happened to me time & time again & not just within the pubs. People are most happy to have a wee chat almost anywhere, especially within any type of eating establishment.
I've watched this documentary many times over, as it's that enjoyable, however, it's quire bittersweet, when you see all the historical stories about the pubs & you see the many locals who used to frequent the pubs, but are now sadly forever gone.
It's even more sad, when only 1 or 2 of the older generation are still alive & you see them visiting these lovely pubs, but are often seated alone, without their old friends from the past seated nearby.
The best news however, is that they will "never ever" be lonely even then, as there'll always be a number of new friends to socialise with upon each ensuing pub visit.
Such is the beautiful & special nature of the Irish.
Ireland, the most wonderful Irish people & the precious, traditional Irish pubs still remaining, forever holding a special place within my heart & soul.
LOl, the way to go to a pub these days is by watching a documentary film! Like the old days!
Amazing, bloody amazing. I'm from Scotland, now in New Zealand, n it does break my heart to think of all this dissapearing, the same as in Scotland. But, in the name of "progress", what can/is, to be done?
It'll be like when the trams all got taken away.....progress.....but what happens now? we are looking towards light rail n some countries have trams again....all goes round in a circle
I’m a rootless Irish American with no tangible connection to my ancestral homeland. This film made me tear up unexpectedly with an eery sense of nostalgia for a place and people I’ve never known
Same. My Irish ancestors came over in the late 1700s and early 1800s. It makes me want to go so much.
At least you had potatoes.
Not many actually. My grandfather had to catch possums to survive the Great Depression
@@townbythetown My grandfather used to trudge barefoot in the snow up a hillside to get to school.
There’s a word for the feeling you describe. Anemoia.
It is a very real and very powerful feeling. I have felt in deep in the Everglades in south Florida and any time I hear “Gymnopédies” by Erik Satie, especially if it’s playing off in the distance.
Don’t ever discount that feeling in your gut. Follow that feeling wherever it takes you.
Pure class. The pubs here for working class heroes are straight up scum compared to these pubs. If I could get to Ireland, I put my Sunday best on and come for a couple, three, Guinness and probably get some of the best craic I've ever had . God bless you and yours. TAL.
This made me want to book a flight and go to where my great grand parents lived in County Cork.
My family was from county cork as well. I'm in south Carolina USA. Hoping to visit county cork one day. Be well brother
So was mine. We are currently trying to find out more information from our Aunt. My dad’s mother was from Ireland. We had no idea.
this film is a treasure , the women and the men in this film are so endearing, appealing. I am moved after seing it thank you very much

So laid back and charming. Is it the brew?
It is the character, tradition and love.

I'm a proud Irish man and I've travelled a fair bit, including once to New York and Florida on two occasions. No matter where I go I find that Irish bars are more often far more expensive than other local bars and I have come across Irish bars run by people with no connection to Ireland. My wife and I went into The Dubliner bar in Madrid a few years back and six beers in a bucket of ice was 15 Euros. We left and went to a local Spanish bar in a square just a few hundred yards away, where the same 6 beers in a bucket of ice was a shocking 10 Euros cheaper. We spent the rest of our time sitting out in the sunshine watching the people and drinking our ice cold beer, savouring the fact that we weren't being ripped off because we were silly Irish people who travelled to another country to sit in an Irish bar made to look like the ones we have at home in Ireland.
There's nothing much better than enjoying a pint in a real Irish bar in Ireland owned by real Irish people and not the likes of Wetherspoons but when I travel I avoid the fake rip-off Irish bars...
I visited an 'Irish Pub' in Plauen, Saxony, Germany. The barmaid was clearly a local German, I asked if the owner was Irish - he wasn't. Nothing apart from the sale of Guiness had any association with Ireland. Yet the local patrons are happy enough with this fake, apparently.
I agree that most "Irish Pubs" in America are far too slick and noisy - very few have an authentic Irish feel but now and then.... Check out The Pint Pot, in Eugene, Oregon!
They are not Irish bars. They are Irish themed bars. There is a big difference.
@@frankryan3294 How often have you heard them referred to as 'Irish themed bars'?
@@frankryan3294 they suck the sweat!

Gorgeous score too!
One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in forever. Mostly just feels like you’re hanging out with them.
Ireland without pubs is like bread without butter.
There would be a lot less domestic issues...
Pubs don't make people violent the same way as a knife doesn't kill a person it all depends on who is in control don't blame everyone on some bad eggs
@@anniemay4547 sorry Annie I play the banjo and the mandolin and i drink and love the pud craic don't get paid for my music and never got violent in my life the irish pub culture that gives local kids a chance to play and give them a chance to do better how can that be so bad it not like your signing up with Simon Cowell xx
@@brendankeenan1448 sorry I’m not with you I love the mandolin and all sorts of music
Sorry it wasn’t a slur on Ireland at all I go to pubs occasionally I do drink occasionally maybe I spoke out of turn but it is true that alcohol as with money is the root of all evil.. it wasn’t meant to be taken personally good look with your music..
...I love McSorley's in Manhattan - their motto is "We were here before you were born" The place is a mirror image of these pubs...
August 1990, two weeks toured perimeter of Ireland and hit 64 pubs. B&B every town. Fantastic time Fantastic people and beautiful land ❤️ 🇮🇪
Thank you, this is a jewel of a documentary/movie! It's entertaining and educational to me, a Dutchy. I like meeting Irish people, they're full of beans often, and practical. Except when they've looked to deeply in the glass, as we say in The Netherlands.🤭🇱🇺
