The Story

Our back bar, labelled as “The Shed” was constructed in 1864. Its original purpose was as a horse stables but in 1900 it progressed to being the first ever trade union hall in Ireland. This is where Jim Larkin, the famous worker’s union leader and social activist (whose statue you can see on O’Connell street) held his union meetings and orations, and is also where the first ever union strike in Ireland was organised in 1913.
