Ireland is famous for its wide array of accomplished writers. This pub crawl takes you around Dublin to pubs frequented by these great men while your crawl leaders perform scenes from famous works. One stop includes Davy Byrne's, which is featured in James Joyce's Ulysses as the pub where the main character, Leopold Bloom, stops in for lunch. Other notable writers discussed on the tour include Samuel Beckett, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and Brendan Behan. The actors leading the tour stop to explain each destination and even perform a few scenes from the playwrights. This is an entertaining tour that combines two of the best features in Dublin: literary history and Irish pubs. The tour meets at the Duke Pub (just off Grafton Street) every evening in the summer at 7:30 and during winter at the same time Thursday-Sunday.
