05/02/2024: Returning to The Yacht in Ringsend, Dublin, after so many years was an experience I'll cherish forever. This pub, a cornerstone of Ringsend, welcomed me back as if no time had passed at all. The moment I stepped through the door, I was enveloped in a wave of nostalgia, but nothing compared to the feeling of sitting in my Grandad Peter Coleman's chair once again. It was as if the years melted away, and I could almost hear his laughter echoing in the background, blending with the lively chatter of the pub's patrons.
The Yacht has always been more than just a pub; it's a gathering place for the community, a spot where memories are made and friendships are forged. Seeing childhood friends and catching up over a pint felt like coming home. The camaraderie and warmth of the people there made the evening unforgettable. It's remarkable how the place has managed to retain its charm and character through the years, serving as a beacon for those of us who have wandered far from home.
The ambiance of The Yacht is everything you'd hope for in a classic Dublin pub – it's cozy, with a friendly buzz that makes you feel welcome from the moment you enter. The staff, knowing and gracious, contribute to the pub's inviting atmosphere, making sure every visitor feels like part of the community. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Yacht offers a slice of Dublin life that is hard to find anywhere else.
Revisiting The Yacht and occupying my Grandad Peter Coleman's chair was a poignant reminder of the past, but the joy of reconnecting with friends reminded me that some bonds remain strong, no matter how much time has passed. The Yacht in Ringsend is not just a pub; it's a treasure trove of memories, a place where the past and present converge beautifully. I'm grateful for the night spent there, stepping back in time while making new memories to carry forward
