Mulligan's

[5][6] The pub is mentioned briefly in James Joyce's short story, Counterparts,[7] and was used as a filming location on a number of occasions.

[1] A number of Dublin musicians also drank there, as several music industry management offices were in the nearby Corn Exchange Building.

[citation needed] In his 1969 book Irish Pubs of Character, Roy Bulson describes the establishment thus: "The license is one of the oldest in Dublin, dating from 1782.

The late President of the U.S., John F Kennedy, called in for a drink and since then many other famous people have enjoyed a pint which is one of the best in Dublin.

"[11] An American tourist named Billy Brooks Carr, for whom Mulligan's was one of his "favourite places to visit in Ireland", reputedly requested that his ashes be kept in the pub's grandfather clock.
