The Hi-B: Cork’s Phone-Free Pub Experience

Right, so this is the Hi-B (short for Hibernian Bar), and it’s become genuinely famous for one simple rule: no mobile phones allowed inside. That glowing red and gold Art Deco-style entrance practically screams “we’re doing things our own way,” and the “est 1791” proudly displayed tells you this pub has survived long enough to have opinions about modern technology.

The most amazing thing about this phone booth is not that it's still standing... it's that once you could access and make free calls to helplines.
