The Revolutionaries' favorite pubs?

ZagreusSpears

I would like to know which pub the '16 revolutionaries used to hang.

The only one I know was Michael Collins used to go to JM Cleary's near Conolly station.
I also know some were totally sober.
Some more worthy mentioning?

Moving to Dublin City as you'd probably get a better idea from the locals.

A lot of the plotting was done in Wynn's Hotel. Like a lot of people who actually were involved in 1916, they don't advertise it too blatantly.

Pearse signed the order to surrender in Conways on Parnell St. Not sure if any of them drank there. It's closed now.

Rumour has it, a bit of the proclamation that Pearse read out outside the GPO on Easter Monday was omitted.

A very rare copy of the actual text, that was found a few years ago, included the last paragraph:

We place the cause of the Irish Republic under the protection of the Most High God, Whose blessing we invoke upon our arms, and we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonour it by cowardice, inhumanity, or rapine. In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline, and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called. See you all in Coppers!

On a side note, all the volunteers that ordered to occupy pubs were on strict orders not to touch a drop. And by all accounts they didn't.
