Come join us for an evening celebrating The History of The Yacht Tavern with historian Eddie Bohan bringing us through the years from 1813 to the present day in pictures and words !
In 2011, Eddie founded the 1916 Easter Rising Coach Tour, to give audio-visual guided tours of the battle sites of the rebellion around the city.After partnering with the National Heritage Week to commemorate the Rising’s centenary, his career as a pubs historian snowballed.
In 2019, he wrote a book on The Stag’s Head to celebrate the Victorian-era pub’s 250th anniversary and in 2021, he explored the role of the public house in the Irish fight for independence in another book, Thirst for Freedom.
After running walking tours of the pubs of Ringsend we thought we would invite Eddie in to shine a light on the history of The Yacht.
Later on we will have some live Dublin music and song from The Ringsend Pullovers!
If you are unable to join us live we will have a recording of the event up afterwards.
With thanks to The Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
