We like to think we know a fair amount about Irish pubs. We reckon our bar (named the Best Bar in the World in 2016) holds the largest collection in North America, which is saying something. We also know that the Irish whiskey sector is on fire right now. In fact, Behan’s name (“drank here”, “was barred here”) cropped up in many of the stories of the capital city’s great pubs. Irish hospitality, particularly the welcome you get in an Irish pub, is such an important part of our culture and our heritage.
