The Irish Pub-A Film by Alex Fegan

Three years ago, a movie called The Irish Pub was released. This film is a documentary showcasing the pubs all over Ireland. It is an honest look while keeping it simple and relatable at the same time. This is an eye-opener for someone who loves Irish music and studies Gaeilge. Getting an in-depth look at the culture I am trying to absorb as a hobby and part of my curiosity is essential.
Here, you can see how small pubs play an important role in handing down the tradition that goes back hundreds of years. With the proliferation of technology such as flat screen TVs and loudspeakers, slipping inside a quiet pub to share a craic with the locals is a welcome respite. I’m curious if modern pubs or cafes know that people go to these places for a quiet moment or to talk to one another. But somehow, these new everyday places are loud and devoid of cultural tradition. The world can learn from The Irish Pub.
I really enjoyed this film, which is the same length as a regular movie. The film is directed by Alex Fegan. It is also available via Plex.
