More than 150 years ago, U.K. legislators enacted a law that laid the foundation for what would inadvertently become a staple of Irish pub names.
But while the locations vary greatly, one thing stays consistent — if you walk into one of these establishments it’s likely going to be named Murphy’s, Kelly’s, O'Malley’s, or some other Irish surname. And that’s not an accident or coincidence. Rather it’s due in part to the U.K.’sThis certainly wasn’t the first attempt to manage Ireland’s bars. But it’s important to understand a bit more about the country’s long history with pubs.
Over time, drinking spots that weren’t sponsored by the monarchy started popping up. Then came the attempts to regulate them., legislation was passed that stated you needed to have a license to operate a tavern. However, it wasn’t well enforced.
Of course, many things have changed over the past 150 years. Rules and regulations have since relaxed so that Irish bar owners no longer have to legally put their names on their pubs. Yet the tradition seems to have stuck.
