SPLUTTER!
Gasp.
Rarr.
Last night.
The Liquor Rooms, Wellington Quay, Dublin
Eamonn Farrell writes:
After a Bloomsday of big breakfasts, celebrity readings, gentle strolls through Dublin City, sidewalk lunches in Sandycove and Burgundy wines and Gorgonzola cheese, punters got down to the real business of the day, as night descended with a visit to the Poetry Brothel in ‘Nighttown\.
The Bloomsday After-Party transformed the Liquor Rooms into a late night, early morning, Nighttown Brothel scene, with ladies of the night, writers, poets, artists, radicals and performers, all kept in disorder by master of ceremonies, John Farrell [pic 6].
According to Mr. Farrell, the Brothel experience restores a sense of intimacy and fun in poetry and is quickly becoming a worldwide phenomenon with satellite poetry brothels in Paris, Barcelona, New Orleans and Portland.
This was the first time in Dublin and hoping to become a regular feature of Bloomsday, the event was themed on Bloom and Stephen’s sojourn into Dublin’s once notorious red light district…

Needs moar iniquity….
God I hate hipsters.
…that’s because you’re a bore…
They make themselves easy to hate, tbf.
No, hipsters are boring. The most self obsessed uninventive generation ever. All they do is bask in consumerist sentimentality surrounded by industrial lights and metro tiles.
In about 100 years Ireland might join the 21st century.
We get there eventually.
Like yer ma.
There still have such a whore house in Dublin, its called Dáil Éireann and there is more friggen poetry in it than anything else.
It’s more like doggerel
Miranda Hart is looking well
Welcome home mr Joyce.
Not forgetting that British officers financed many of the brothels, and also prostituted handsome young soldiers, according to one history of prostitution in Ireland…
