Mulligan's on Poolbeg Street

History

Mulligan's was founded in 1782 and the exterior of the pub retains its original vintage lettering on the windows and over the door.^{[citation needed]}

The pub was associated with the Theatre Royal across the street during the nineteenth century, and its walls are decorated with posters and photographs of that period. In addition to autographed photographs of Kennedy^[who?] and Judy Garland, the walls have showbills going back to the early nineteenth century.

The pub appeared in James Joyce's short story, Counterparts.^[1] Mulligan's also houses a plaque commemorating "The Society For the Preservation of The Dublin Accent" that held their meetings in the pub. Journalists and staff from the Irish Press newspaper offices next door drank there during the twentieth century until the collapse of the paper in 1995.
