Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWR2 - A vivid red neon sign displaying the phrase Twenty First Century's Yesterday mounted on an exposed brick wall inside Bruxelles, a long-established bar on Harry Street in Dublin city centre. The sign glows under warm artificial lighting, creating a distinctive evening atmosphere typical of Dublin's nightlife and pub culture.
The image is taken indoors, with no natural daylight visible, suggesting night-time or late-evening trading hours. The saturated red neon contrasts strongly with the dark brick background, giving the scene a retro, slightly underground aesthetic associated with music, arts and alternative culture in the city.
Bruxelles is widely recognised as a cultural meeting place in Dublin, frequented by musicians, artists and writers over many decades. Interior details such as this neon sign contribute to the venue's character and are often used editorially to illustrate stories about Dublin nightlife, urban culture, hospitality, music scenes and creative spaces in Ireland's capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ39Y - This image shows the outdoor seating area of McHugh's Bar in Queen's Square, Belfast city centre. Established in 1711, McHugh's is widely regarded as the oldest pub in Belfast and remains a popular meeting place for locals, office workers, and visitors. The pub's distinctive green-painted frontage is decorated with hanging flower baskets, reinforcing its traditional Irish pub character.
The photograph was taken in bright summer conditions, with strong sunlight and leafy shadows falling across the pavement. Patrons are seated at outdoor tables beneath branded Magners umbrellas, while others stand and chat nearby, creating a relaxed and sociable atmosphere typical of warm-weather drinking in the city centre.
The surrounding streetscape combines historic buildings with modern urban life, reflecting Belfast's layered architectural and cultural history. McHugh's long-established presence at Queen's Square places it close to major landmarks such as the Albert Memorial Clock and the waterfront area, making it a familiar and well-photographed feature of the city.
The image captures everyday pub culture in Belfast, blending historic continuity with contemporary social life, and highlighting the enduring role of traditional bars as informal public spaces within Northern Ireland's capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3B7 - This image shows a chalkboard A-frame sign placed on a pedestrian pavement outside a bar, using humour and irony to attract attention. The sign initially advertises Free cocktails and topless bartenders in bold handwritten lettering, before undercutting the claim with the phrase false advertising at the bottom. The joke relies on deliberate misdirection, a familiar style of British pub and bar humour designed to stop passers-by and provoke a smile.
The sign is painted in contrasting white chalk on a dark background and framed by a turquoise-painted wooden A-board, giving it a casual, informal appearance typical of independent bars and pubs. The surrounding pavement and shopfronts suggest a busy urban street, likely in a town or city centre with foot traffic and nightlife activity.
Such novelty signage is commonly used as a low-cost marketing tactic within the hospitality sector, blending comedy, irony, and street-level advertising to engage potential customers. The image captures a light-hearted moment of everyday urban culture, reflecting how humour is often used in public spaces to cut through advertising fatigue and create a sense of personality for bars and pubs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXBD - Right at the foot of Waterloo Street stands Michael Tracy's Bar, formerly known as The Electric Bar.
Dating back to 1874, it took its more Promethean title from the first electricity-operating generating station which was set across the street in the Diamond.
Later it became the property of Michael Tracy and his more prosaic letters replaced the dramatic Electric legend.
This pub has always been the favourite of Merchant Navy men and it is mentioned in the famous best-selling novel The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Montserrat, which was made into a very successful film starring Jack Hawkins, because during the Second World War, it was a popular haunt for seamen of all nationalities.
There are a number of interesting large framed photos of old Derry around the walls of the bar, and an unusual attraction in this friendly city is that the publican is a woman and an attractive one at that!

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69C9K - Sitting sweetly on the bank of the River Medlock, just up the road from Oxford Road, the Lass O' Gowrie is an ancient and venerable Irish (but originally Scottish) pub and Manchester landmark, appearing on maps as early as 1844, back when it stood next to the Garratt Cotton Mill. Back then it was surrounded by hardcore slums which are now modern housing for a modern Manchester.
Complete with original tilework and fittings, the Lass sees a cheerful and diverse crowd on Fridays and Saturdays. It's very popular for post-work drinks or as a staging post on your way to Canal Street or the Northern Quarter.
One of the Lass O' Gowrie's unique features is its balcony-based smoking area, built out over the river below (and well-secured with high walls, so don't worry about stumbling). There's something very special about this particular slice of the city, with the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel off to the north, the opposite balcony of Joshua Brooks just to your east, and the pleasant sounds of the River Medlock filling the evening.
What's on the tap? Well, first and foremost the answer is Guinness, and that's what we recommend to be in keeping with the theme. But you should also check out the various craft beers on the list, like Tollgate Brewery's Belmorado pale ale. Guest beers circulate through the tap month by month, so there's always something new to try. The Lass O' Gowrie can also offer a selection of jolly bar snacks for all you pork scratching aficionados out there.
Listing NGR: SJ8431397523 - As it's surrounded by exciting developments like Circle Square, the Lass O' Gowrie caters to a diverse crowd of students, professionals, and tourists, so whoever you are, you're bound to find a warm welcome in the pub's surprisingly large interior.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JTN - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ˜dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).
William Cranston was a member of the License Trade delegation who traveled to lobby the British Parliament in Westminster, London, in 1863 to have this practice forbidden

James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.

During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ˜dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8BNN6 - Oliver Joseph St. John Gogarty (17 August 1878 “ 22 September 1957) was an Irish poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and well-known conversationalist. He served as the inspiration for Buck Mulligan in James Joyce's novel Ulysses.
Gogarty was born 17 August 1878 in Rutland Square, Dublin, the eldest child of Henry Gogarty, a well-to-do Dublin physician, and Margaret Gogarty (née Oliver), the daughter of a Galway mill owner. Three siblings (Henry, Mary, and Richard) were born later. Gogarty's father, himself the son of a medical doctor, had been educated at Trinity College and owned two fashionable homes in Dublin, which set the Gogartys apart from other Irish Catholic families at that time and allowed them access to the same social circles as the Protestant Ascendancy
As one of Dublin's medicos, Gogarty was known to be fond of public pranks and midnight carousing in the Kips, Dublin's red-light district. He had a talent for humorous and bawdy verse, which quickly made the rounds through the city, and sometimes composed mnemonic lyrics to aid his medical studies. He also enjoyed a highly successful cycling career before being banned from the tracks in 1901 for bad language, and between 1898 and 1901 he rescued at least four people from drowning. He became interested in Irish nationalism after meeting Arthur Griffith in 1899, and contributed propaganda pieces to The United Irishman over subsequent years
As a Sinn Féiner during the Irish War of Independence, Gogarty participated in a variety of anti-Black and Tan schemes, allowing his home to be used as a safe house and transporting disguised IRA volunteers in his car. Following the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Gogarty sided with the pro-Treaty government (headed by his close friend Arthur Griffith) and was made a Free State Senator. When Griffith fell ill during the summer of 1922, Gogarty frequently attended his bedside. His death on 12 August 1922 had a profound effect on Gogarty

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PM625P - Belfast city centre, Northern Ireland, this editorial photograph shows the historic flat-iron Bittles Bar at 70 Upper Church Lane, close to Victoria Square. The narrow red-brick building forms a dramatic wedge-shaped corner, with curved brickwork, arched windows, decorative banding, hanging baskets, pavement tables, beer barrels and Bittles Bar signage at street level. The image was taken in bright daylight with blue sky and broken cloud, giving clear detail of the Victorian architecture and pub frontage. Bittles Bar is widely noted as one of Belfast's most distinctive pubs because of its flat-iron shape, created by the tight urban plot and meeting of surrounding streets. Discover Northern Ireland describes it as a traditional Victorian bar, founded in 1868 and originally called The Shakespeare, reflecting a theatrical clientele. The building and pub are useful subjects for editorial coverage of Belfast hospitality, historic pubs, city-centre drinking culture, Irish whiskey, Guinness tourism, heritage streetscapes and old commercial buildings in the modern visitor economy. The bar is known for a characterful triangular lounge and an interior decorated with portraits of Irish literary, sporting and political figures, adding cultural interest beyond the exterior. Its location near Victoria Square places it on a natural walking route for visitors exploring central Belfast, Cathedral Quarter, shopping streets, pubs and historic city architecture. For picture buyers, the readable frontage, red brick, flower baskets, barrels, wedge form and bright weather make the image suitable for travel features, pub guides, architectural stories, heritage tourism, beer and whiskey articles, Belfast city-break coverage and general editorial use about Northern Ireland's urban character. The photograph also works as a visual example of how a small historic pub can become a landmark through distinctive shape, local reputation and strong street presence.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDEYMC - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 8211476514 - 'View this whole set of cities here. If you do Twitter add me here.
Temple Bar (in Irish: Barra an Teampaill) is an area on the south bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin, Ireland. Unlike the areas surrounding it, Temple Bar has preserved its medieval street pattern, with many narrow cobbled streets. It is promoted as 'Dublin's cultural quarter' and has a lively night life that is popular with tourists. Temple Bar is in the postcode Dublin 2 (D2), and has an estimated population of 3,000.
The area is bounded by the Liffey to the north, Dame Street to the south, Westmoreland Street to the east and Fishamble Street to the west. It probably got its name from the Temple family, who lived in the area in the 17th century
Sir William Temple, provost of Trinity College Dublin in 1609, had his house and gardens here. However it got its name, the earliest historical reference to the name Temple Bar is on a 1673 map.
Fishamble Street in Temple Bar was the location of the first performance of Handel's Messiah on 13 April 1742. An annual performance of the Messiah is held on the same date at the same location. The republican revolutionary group, the Society of the United Irishmen, was formed at a meeting in a tavern in Eustace Street in 1791.
During the 19th century, the area slowly declined in popularity, and in the 20th century, it suffered from urban decay, with many derelict buildings. Its unfashionability probably saved it from Dublin's property developers, who destroyed much of the city's historic architecture during the 1960s.
In the 1980s, the state-owned transport company C\u00f3ras Iompair \u00c9ireann proposed to buy-up and demolish property in the area and build a bus terminus in its place. While this was in the planning stages, the purchased buildings were let out at low rents, which attracted small shops, artists and galleries to the area.
Protests by An Taisce, residents and traders led to the cancellation of the bus station project, and the Taoiseach Charles Haughey was responsible for securing funding, and, in 1991, the government set up a not-for-profit company called Temple Bar Properties to oversee the regeneration of the area as Dublin's cultural quarter.
In 1999, 'Stag Parties' and 'Hen Nights' were supposedly banned (or discouraged) from Temple Bar, mainly due to drunken loutish behaviour, although this seems to have lapsed. However, noise and anti-social behaviour usually fuelled. by excessive alcohol consumption remain a problem at night

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7M9E - Guinness is an Irish dry stout produced by Diageo that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725“1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin. Guinness is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. It is brewed in almost 50 countries and is available in over 120. Annual sales total 850 million litres (1.5 billion Imperial or 1.8 billion US pints).
A feature of the product is the burnt flavour that is derived from roasted unmalted barley, although this is a relatively modern development, not becoming part of the grist until the mid-20th century. For many years a portion of aged brew was blended with freshly brewed beer to give a sharp lactic flavour. Although the Guinness palate still features a characteristic tang, the company has refused to confirm whether this type of blending still occurs. The draught beer's thick, creamy head comes from mixing the beer with nitrogen and carbon dioxide when poured. It is popular with the Irish both in Ireland and abroad, and, in spite of a decline in consumption since 2001, is still the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. makes almost €2 billion annually.
The company moved its headquarters to London at the beginning of the Anglo-Irish Trade War in 1932. In 1997, it merged with Grand Metropolitan to form the multinational alcoholic drinks producer Diageo.
