View of McDaids pub on Harry Street, located off Grafton Street near Dublin City center.
The building dates from 1779 & once served as the city morgue. Later it was
converted for use as a chapel for the Moravian Brethren. The Gothic styles are reflected in the arched windows & pub interior. A meeting place & traditional watering-hole for Ireland's literary figures, famous Irish writers including Brendan Behan, Liam O'Flaherty & Patrick Kavenagh
were regulars here, It's also the setting for the James Joyce story - Grace.
