Every public licenced premises in Dublin, 2010-now; plus hundreds of older pubs that have ceased to exist
Corrections and additions willingly accepted!
Thanks for that - definitely a few I've never seen before and its immediately thrown up something new to me - never knew the Beggars Bush that's there now is a totally different building to the little derelict one in the photo, their website gives a load of info on it - https://beggarsbush.com/history/ - just assumed that was the original building!
I assume you already know about http://davidjazay.com/ - some of those photos can be tough to find and aren't on the website.

Turtle Bunbury would probably have some tangential interest in what you are doing
In terms of finding details of people and pub owners, the CRO (Companies Registration Office) is a good resource. You can usually get details going back 50 years for who was operating from what premises. It is usually free to look at some of the basic details but costs more to look into more financial information.
Does anybody remember the name of a bar in Moore Street, across the road from Trader John's ? The pub is no longer there, and the last time I visited the pub, it was in a state of disrepair and closed down, some years ago. I keep thinking the pub may have eventually become a hotel, though I cannot be certain.
There were a few others on Moore Street, but most were on the same side as Trader Johns. There was one infamously poor condition one the other side, but up a good bit that didn't really have an official name in its latter years. It was replaced by the overall structure containing Jurys, the new Moore Street Mall and so on - it was known as the Looney Bin! http://www.dublincity.ie/sites/default/files/galleries/087_Moore_Street.jpg is a photo of it
Hi - I'm not doing clubs as a: they officially require membership to drink there and b: there are just so many of them in the county - every GAA clubhouse bar and so on. There is also no single list. I do intend to visit the Club, but I need to seriously polish my cùpla focal first
i thought this place might be different as they do not require u to have a membership, but this is prob an unofficial policy and technically u prob should have one or be in the company of a member.. Either way, access seems very straighforward just like walking in to a normal pub and like yourself my Irish was very rusty, but they are just happy for you to make any sort of effort. Also, 5 euro for a Guinness was very good for that part of town
Eagle House, Dundrum reopening in October as PyeDundrum Red Parrot partially reopened and now called Juno Wellington on Baggot Street now called Bar Eile
also, I guess you have used it but this website gives useful information on when pubs may have closed in the last 20 or so years. Or at least, which were still open: http://72.172.131.1/thepubs/pubsdirectory.html
I'm definitely aware of it, and keep meaning to do a capture before it eventually goes offline (having long since lost its domain). The Publin of its day
One that amazed me is The Embankment in Tallaght. Was sure that was closed since the early 90s or before but was still open in the mid 2000s per that website. A few more that caught my eye as well. Also a bit more information @ https://dubpubdb.wordpress.com/a-to-z-list/
Prompted by a sudden flashback from my early student days: the Rathmines Capital Hotel bar, now Aldi, formerly Savannah, was "Swamp Critters Creek" when it first opened. The application for a Public Dancing Licence was published in The Irish Times on 29th May 1996, page 13.
The below is a good resource for obscure old images of pubs if your'e looking for links to photos

This is a fantastic source of information and I love going through it. Are there many websites from pubs closed 15 or more years ago?
