History of the Dublin Pub
Proprietors Jim and Colette Mongey arrived together from Ireland on the HMS Britannic on April 11, 1959. Jim left his hometown of Navan, County Meath and Colette is from Dublin, the beautiful capital city for which the Pub is named. Opened in 1973 in what had been the one-room Community Cocktail Lounge, the Dublin Pub is nestled at the top of Pine Street, just off busy South Street.
Its murals of downtown Dublin, original street lamppost antiques, artwork and full menu of great food and drink, recreate the wonderful warmth of a traditional Irish Pub. Known for its authenticity and as a gathering place for friends and family, the Pub has established itself as a Morristown landmark.
