There are some sites from the Rising that were not pubs at the time but are today and you can stroll in, have something to eat, perhaps a beer and soak up the atmosphere and imagine what it was like as a battlefield in the middle of the Rising.
The Grand Central in O'Connell Street was in 1916 Reis's Chambers and was home to the rebels very own radio station.

The Schoolhouse on Northumberland Road was held be the rebels during the Battle of Mount Street and looks today exactly as it did in 1916.
