Dublin has had a long association with its pubs. The city grew
rapidly in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, becoming a
major port for trade around the world, and the city boasted a
wealth of taverns, inns, alehouses and public houses. An important
part of the city's prosperity was also the Guinness brewery,
founded in Dublin in 1759 and becoming a major employer. Many
drinking establishments have survived from these days and have
stories to tell, often involving historical figures or even
fictional characters. In Dublin Pubs, author Pat Dargan takes the
reader on a fascinating journey through some of Dublin's most
interesting, oldest or most famous watering holes. Many of the pubs
have retained features and traditions of previous ages, and some
are regarded as architectural gems. Pat reveals the variety of
Dublin's pubs today and tells of the many characters that have
frequented or run the public houses over the years, for which
Dublin is justly renowned.

New Orleans is an American city unlike any other, and its rich
diversity is reflected in the world-class bar scene. In Drink Dat
New Orleans, Elizabeth Pearce takes us on a tour of the city's many
unforgettable drinking spots, including a candle-lit tavern favored
by pirates in the early eighteenth century and a watering hole so
beloved by locals that several urns containing the ashes of former
patrons rest in peace behind its bar. A Louisiana native and
co-founder of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, Pearce brings
her lifelong love of food, beverage, and local lore to this
ultimate drinker's guide. From the nonstop parties on Bourbon
Street to the classy cool of the Garden District, Drink Dat is the

With a focus on vernacular roadside architecture built between 1920

era and its roadside buildings, restaurants, gas stations, motels,
and places of amusement, most of which are now long since gone.
