The Long Hall

51 SOUTH GREAT GEORGE'S STREET, Dublin

Heritage Listed Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary)
The pub itself

In Irish 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.

Heritage-listed building

c.1760–1900 Rated Regional

This building was remodelled with ornate Victorian stucco embellishments and a timber interior of early twentieth-century date. The timber shopfront, with fluted pilasters and hand-painted fascia, adds artistic detailing, making this a strong architectural focal point in the streetscape. Good quality Edwardian public house interior and fittings. One of the oldest surviving buildings on this section of the street, it is possible that it dates to the period around 1784 when the street was widened…
