Established in 1798 and purchased by Wicklow-native Davy Byrne in 1889, Davy Byrnes on 21 Duke Street is a legendary Dublin institution. It is best known for being the setting of Leopold Bloom’s famous Gorgonzola sandwich and burgundy lunch in James Joyce's “Ulysses”.
In 1942, the pub was sold to the Doran family, who still run it. The 1940s refurbishment gave the pub its distinct Parisian Art Deco style, featuring frescoes by Cecil French Salkeld.
