The World

The World’s Laura Lynch takes us to a pub in Dublin, Ireland, that’s gone back to basics. Gone are the pool tables, televisions, and speakers turned up too loud. Patrons instead can enjoy their favorite brew with some old-fashioned entertainment — local musicians playing traditional music.
