Director Alex Fegan’s documentary gives a sustained ovation to this most popular institution in Ireland. Roaming across the country Fegan has owners and patrons sing the praises of their pubs, hailing them as places of community and conversation where nobody can walk in without being drawn into discussion about music, sport, politics, history, and life itself. Never maudlin, often echoing the nostalgic tones in which Irish pubs trade, this documentary celebrates the positive aspects of Ireland’s pub life.
