The Bull and Castle

Sult has been held in The Bull and Castle (formerly known as the Castle Inn) since it first began in October 1999.

Both poets and priests have resided at The Bull and Castle over the centuries. In the 1600s it was home to the Usher family, one of whom became the Archbishop of Armagh. In 1750, the grandfather of the Irish poet James Mangan ran a porterhouse at the Castle Inn, making it probably ''one of the first Dublin pubs to serve Guinness''.

In more recent times, the Bull and Castle has continued this poetic tradition. Renowned as a ballad venue in the 1960s, it saw such great Irish folk legends as Paddy Reilly, The Emmet Spiceland, The Young Folk as well as The Dubliners play within its four walls.

With a heritage that is unique and a history that is long, it is perhaps only fitting that The Bull and Castle is now part of another great tradition - FXB's Seafood and Steakhouse Restaurants. Bringing a reputation for food and service of an exceptionally high standard, the FXB food experience can now be enjoyed in this medieval-style heritage pub.

Enjoy the friendly atmosphere, live ballad sessions and award-winning steak and seafood while sampling a pint of the black stuff, all in the heart of the Old City of Dublin

The Bull and Castle - ''Bia den scoth i gcroílár na cathrach''.
