Love that top pic - looks like someone transported from the 1920s - wonderful.

Try The Long Hall in Georges street. Hogans which is across the road from the long hall is a good one. The Stags head is 2 minutes walk from Hogans and has the best Guinness. Kehoes just off Grafton street has a Great atmosphere but gets packed at the weekends. Mulligans in Poolbeg street also has great Guinness. The Long Stone is around the corner from Mulligans, another good one. Hope this helps. Enjoy

Copied form my post in the favorite watering holes thread. I'm sure there's more I could think of. What sort of age group are we talking here?


--------------------------------------------

Image

The Stag's Head - Dublin. Just a great pub all round. Instant rapport with anyone. One distinct memory I have is of a fella walkin in and upstairs with a bag of chips, we're standing next to the door, without a scond thought the guy offers us a few. Just a no-bullshit place. Legend has it my mates father used to have to drag his own father out of there by the legs.



Image

The Foggy Dew - Dublin. A few reasons we drink in here. #1 Ideal meeting place, right beside the most central bus stop in the city. Everyone meets at the concourse across the road anyway so you can see who is there while having a nice pint. #2 you always meet someone you know there without fail anyway. Points deducted for being terrible when there is a match on.


Image

The Oak - Dublin. Mentioned already by Eoin. I like this place as it's central, never too packed and again is a no bullshit establishment. Best DJ in town on a saturday in the basement too. Right across from my mates apartement so we tend to fall in here a lot.


Image

The Long Hall - Dublin. Again mentioned by Eoin. First place I was ever drunk, way back, was about 16 (late bloomer). It's pretty much a national treasure. Has the same timeless charm as the Stag's Head.


Image

The Pavillion - Dublin. Located in the famed Trinity college in the heart of Dublin, this place is perfect for an pint from april-june on a sunny evening. The grass is filled with people lounging around taking it easy. Haven't been there in a couple of years now my student days are over (not that I ever went to this uni anyway!). Probably the only place you'll ever see cricket on this island too.


Image

O'Donohues (formerly ThingMote) - Dublin. Under new management, to it's detriment. More office clientele now than there used to be. Had many a great night here, and it's still a good place, peaceful in the afternoon, buzzing in the evening. Used to come here to write a fair bit. If I were to ever own a bar it would be this one. I'd chuck out the fucking jukebox for a start.

ace, love the pics Alan far better than the ones I could find. Forgot about The Foggy another ace stop off. I will disagree about Thing Moate/O'Donohues though, there 3 times, short changed 3 times, got the hint not for me. Another one I'd add to the list is Bruxelles, another one from my student days but I revisit it every now and then, the old bar downstairs before they 'did it up' was awesome, Thursday night was the night, attracted a really nice bunch of regulars, jukebox second to none...

I saw an elsebound train, on the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

I'd agree on the Thing Mote/O'Donohues now myself probably, only an afternoon spot now. Just hastily copied that last night. Will give it proper consideration later ;)

On the wagon for a few weeks, this thread is doing me no favours. Became fond of Against the Grain, The Bull and Castle and Mac Neills lately.
