Inscription:

This pub has been granted the
James Joyce Pub Award
for being an authentic Irish pub

'A good puzzle would be to cross Ireland
without passing a pub.' Ulysses

James Joyce identified and described the
characteristic ambience of Dublin pub life
so successfully that the characters in Ulysses
may be fictional, but they are based on a
multitude of living beings, characters who
Joyce found in pubs just like this one.
This establishment remains an outstanding
example of the tradition which
Joyce immortalised in his works and is a
truly authentic public house which
throughout the years has retained
it's down to earth genuineness of
atmosphere, friendliness and
presence of good company.

James Joyce [signature]

Apparently there is a whole series of these. It sounds like a great excuse to do some traveling and visit a few pubs.
