Día dhuit,
A shebeen or sibín is an illegal drinking den usually for the consumption of poitín.It was usually located in a cottage some distance from a village and "opening night" is or was passed by word-of-mouth. They can still be found in Ireland - even in Dublin - but you have to know who to ask!!!!
