Traditional pub on Pearse Street with the kind of old Dublin character that you cannot fake. Quiet during the week, it fills up nicely at weekends with a mixed local crowd.
Nearby pubs
The Stag's Head
One of Dublin's finest Victorian pubs. The Stag's Head on Dame Court features stunning stained glass, mahogany woodwork and a marble bar counter dating from 1895.
Kehoe's
A Dublin institution just off Grafton Street. Kehoe's draws a loyal crowd of regulars, after-work drinkers and visitors who pack its tiny snug and stand-room-only front bar.
Grogan's Castle Lounge
The unofficial HQ of Dublin's creative class. Grogan's on South William Street is famous for its toasties, its art on the walls, and a crowd that spans writers, musicians and characters of every kind.
The Long Hall
Victorian splendour on South Great George's Street. The Long Hall's ornate interior - with its antique clocks, chandeliers and a bar stretching the full length of the room - makes it one of Dublin's most beautiful pubs.
