The Duke

The Duke has enjoyed a distinguished association with the literary greats of the Irish Nation. John Gogarty and Arthur Griffith breezed into the Duke regularly in the early days of the century when they wanted a quiet reflective jar. In later years, the three great literary musketeers, Brendan Behan, Patrick Kavanagh and Myles Na gCopoleen experienced a transitory love affair with the premises, although hardly ever at the same time as they were rarely enamoured with eachothers company for too long. As a general rule the presence of one was dictated by the absence of the other two. Nowadays the organisers of the Dublin Literary Pub Crawl start their historic tour of Dublin at this establishment. Today the Duke is still renowned for providing the caller with a place of quiet respite to enjoy a peaceful drink or some heartwarming food throughout the day. Grab a seat indoors, or soak up the city centre atmosphere on our heated smoking terrace. .
