Abstract
This study highlights the cultural changes that have occurred in the Irish pub culture from the perspective of the people who work in the industry while also looking at the causes of these changes. The primary reason for carrying out this research was to investigate the changes in the Irish pub culture and to understand the current pub culture that the publicans believe exists in Ireland today. As time has gone by, Ireland’s pub culture has changed as new generations emerged and began consuming alcohol in different ways and places. Pub culture was examined through the lens of the industry workers who have seen the changes occur during their time in the industry over several years.
By conducting three in-depth interviews with the industry workers, discovering new insights into why the pub culture has changed became clear. Qualitative research methods were deployed in order to gather the most accurate data. With this, three main themes were brought forward in the interviews, helping answer the research questions and objectives of this study.
