A nd so it goes...
"Mr Kernan turned and walked down the slope of Watling Street by the corner of Guinness's visitors' waitingroom. Outside the Dublin Distillers Company's stores an outside car without fare or jarvey stood, the reins knotted to the wheel. Damn dangerous thing. Some Tipperary bosthoon endangering the lives of the citizens. Runaway horse." Finbar "filthy" McFadden was born in the small village of Fooks Mill in County Wexford. The third son of a local bank clerk. He moved to Dublin when aged 16 to attend a classic degree at Trinity College (graduating with second class honours).
He spent the years beyond in various pubs on the south side of the Liffey waxing philosophical about the novel Ulysses to anyone who knew less than he did.
Filthy McFadden was something of a curiosity on campus with two generations of students seeing him wander around the grounds with his ever present Irish Times tucked under his arm (but never opened or read). In his later years he retreated to his bedsitter in Rathfarnham to work on his unpublished criticism of James Joyce. He was last seen in 1977 in John Mulligan's Pub sitting on his own in his dirty red jacket.
His whereabouts, if any, are unknown.
And so we come crashing forward to the present. Filthy McFadden's Irish Pub has been established since 1995, continuing a tradition of a warm Irish style Pub, with our own fire to keep you going in the freezing jesus winter of Canberra, so snuggle up by the open fire and let your eyes wonder.
Filthy's has arguably the largest collection of whisky on offer in the Southern Hemisphere - 130 and rising, including Irish, Scotch, Bourbon and Tenessee whiskey's to warm you on the inside. Filthy's also has a darts area were we have darts competitions. If Whiskey isn’t your thing, there is a good supply of Guinness, fine ales, spirits and wines.
If you're after a filthy bar in Canberra, Filthy McFaddens should be your first and only stop. Well, it's not all that filthy, but chances are, after an evening spent sampling the best in Irish beer and cider, you'll feel like you just mud-wrestled the Devil and come out on top. Such is the lure and atmosphere of this most likeable pub.
Located in a cosy corner of Greens square, Kingston in Canberra, Filthy McFadden's is a popular drinking hole for everyone, attracting a mixed crowd of vagabonds and miscreants, journalists & artists - basically, the most entertaining people in society. You can regularly find large groups of revellers, hunched over the wooden furniture (which kind of looks like it was 'liberated' from a church), indulging in pints of Guinness and longnecks of Magners Irish Cider.
