Hairy Lemon

Another super traditional pub with a famous Dublin history. Stunning decor. Well worth a visit.

Description of the place

The Hairy Lemon was named after one of Dublin's most colorful characters in the 1940s. His nickname came from his unusual appearance: he had a face shaped like a lemon, skin a yellowish hue similar to that fruit, and a stubble of beard reminiscent of gooseberry fuzz. "Hairy" used to roam the city streets capturing stray dogs for the police. The pub retains this curious and eclectic spirit in its decor, and has been the setting for films such as The Commitments (1991).
