The Irish Pub is packed with charm. Whether it be scenic pictures of the Irish countryside, quirky publicans or comforting songs, it is difficult to not be captured by this documentary. The spotlight is upon several pubs throughout Ireland that share a common thread of tradition when pubs were kept in the family for generations. Stories are shared from centuries past which offer to the viewer a direct link to a time and place that would otherwise remain undiscovered.

Each pub has a unique story of circumstance, owner and patron. There is a lot of weight to the history of each pub and the film does fine work of communicating this. Most of the entertainment comes from the patrons who are equally as funny as they are endearing. The accents, clothing and pub decor all come together to present a fascinating picture. Subtitles may be required for certain parts!
