The Destruction of Dublin Pubs

Some of the pubs that were completely destroyed or severely damaged as a result of fire from both sides of the Rising included

Eden Quay                   Mooney’s

                                    Joseph McGreevy’s

                                    E Moore

Malboro Street             J Farrell's

Ushers Quay                H Kavanagh

Lwr Bridgefoot Street  Brazen Head

“Smart and others used home-made grenades to set the public house on fire, in the hope that this would end this activity, which it apparently did. The pub was burnt out, with the Dublin Fire Brigade arriving too late to do anything about it.”

Sackville Place             Denis Egan’s

Abbey Street                The Oval

This Abbey street pub was all but destroyed by the end of Easter Week. The pub had been purchased in 1902 by John Egan and after a major refurbishment reopened in 1903. It was very popular with both the local journalists and with rebels in the lead up to the Rising. The pub remained closed for six years before opening much as it is today to the public
