Listing historyNotable eventsArchitecture
Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref S0091 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for THE LONG HALL at 51 South Great George's Street in Dublin city, with LONGHALL LOUNGE BARS LIMITED as licensee.[1]
NIAH records The Long Hall at 51 South Great George's Street as a regional-rated former house with architectural, artistic, and social interest.[2]
NIAH dates the building to 1760-1900 and records its original use as a house and survey use as a public house.[2]
The NIAH description identifies an attached two-bay four-storey former house built c.1780 and remodelled c.1880 for use as a public house.[2]
NIAH records a tiled shopfront, fluted pilasters, hand-painted fascia, and timber raised-and-fielded panelled door.[2]
NIAH says the building was remodelled with ornate Victorian stucco embellishments and a timber interior of early twentieth-century date.[2]
NIAH describes the timber shopfront as a strong architectural focal point in the streetscape and identifies good-quality Edwardian public-house interior and fittings.[2]
The Irish Times reported in 1999 that a Dunnes Stores redevelopment on South Great George's Street would cover up to one-third of the west-side frontage.[3]
The same Irish Times report said only the Long Hall bar would be spared within that affected frontage.[3]
Reviewed pub lore
Local notes
Military history
Much of the abortive Fenian Rising of 1867 was planned in this bar. It was here that John Devoy hatched the escape plan that sprung Fenian Chief James Stephens from Richmond Jail in November 1865.
Architecture
A complete and substantially-untouched survival of high-Victorian pub design. Gold-leaf enhancements, hand-carved wood, beveled and ornate glass — all the elements of late-19th-century Dublin pubcraft, kept in working order. Very little has changed in over 130 years.
Reputation
Considered one of the iconic survivals of 'Affluent Victoriana' in Dublin pub design. Tourists come for the room; Dubliners come because nothing's changed.
House rules
Be sound. Welcome newcomers. Keep it about the pub.
