Happy Blooomsday!
Our friends at Ulysses’ Folk House always throw a huge celebration on Bloomsday. Not only because they are named after James Joyce’s epic novel in which Bloomsday takes place, but also because it is their anniversary.
This year’s Bloomsday at Ulysses’ celebrates their 10th anniversary.
Today’s festivities:
Brunch: 12pm to 3pm.
Offering a complimentary glass of burgundy and a chunk of gorgonzola cheese, so you can nosh like Leopold Bloom himself in Chapter 8.
Readings from Ulysses’: 2pm
Celebrated Irish author Colum McCann will be the master of ceremonies for readings from the great book by a pantheon of literary figures.
Oyster shooters: 3pm to 5pm
Enjoy oyster shooters from the ice luge. (This bit is not in the novel but it should be.)
Anniversary drink: 5pm to 7pm
In honor of Ulysses’ Folk House’s ten year anniversary, and the part in Chapter 12 where many rounds of drink are ordered, the owners of Ulysses’ invites you to have one with them.
Live music: Starting at 6pm
Four Irish sisters will sing the classics in their guise as the band Screaming Orphans.
Guest DJs: 9pm to closing
Guest DJs will be working the wax in a manner entirely consistent with Dublin in June 1904.
