Portland, Oregon is a long way from New York City boys, from Boston and PA...but still we love our Irish bars...and we revere our proud, independent, authentic AF bar proprietors.

Katie Bullard and Carl Simpson started the legendary Dublin Pub in 1983, first in SE Portland where it attained peak notoriety and helped make Portland craft brewing history, before moving to its current location in 1989 on the site of another infamous bar -- The Faucet -- in the Raleigh Hills/Deep SW Portland/unincorporated Washington County area of the metro (6821 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy).

In an industry notably devoid of strong, almost tall-tale women owners and proprietors, Katie (aka "Mama Dub") was an aberration as the heart and soul of the DubPub for the better part of 40 years until her death in October of 2024.

Nate and Alfredo visited 10 days before St. Patrick's day to chop it up with current owner (and original Katie Bullard hire) JT Mackey to learn how this beloved bar bridges its generational clientele gap and otherwise soak in the middle aged craic of the place. Slainte!
