The Rise and Fall of the Irish Pub

By Robert E Connolly

This book begins with a history of the Irish pub and its origins. It then describes the development of the Irish Pub beginning in the early 1980s when emigrants began to return to Ireland as its economy improved. They created the impetus for a whole new type of pub experience known as the "Superpub." The book explains how these new pubs developed and were phenomenally successful in the period of the Irish economy known as the Celtic Tiger. With the economic crash of the middle part of the first decade of the twentieth century, compounded by multiple other factors, these superpubs were no longer viable as the customers who made them successful were no longer financially able to support the turnover necessary for their success. This marked the fall of these Irish pubs. While some of these pubs have reinvented themselves, the superpubs remain a distant memory.
