The Long Hall
Dublin, Ireland
One of the most beautiful Victorian establishments in the city, with decor dating back to 1881 on South Great George's Street. The narrow interior, shaped like a long corridor, is adorned with polished mahogany panels, beveled crystal mirrors with gilded frames, and an antique pendulum clock. Bartenders in shirts and ties serve perfectly poured Guinness with a thick head. In this interior, musician Phil Lynott, leader of the rock band Thin Lizzy, filmed the music video for the song Old Town in 1982.
