Request a quiet room or one at the top of the hotel. There is a bar /nightclub attached to that Hotel that is very popular with the young folks called Dicey's that will be rammed with enthusiastic young things 7 nights a week on account of the cheap pints so to catch a bit of shut eye.. unless you prefer to join them of course then it might be best. Also a few other night clubs on Harcourt St too including the infamous Copper Face Jacks which is favored by rural people visiting the capital as well as actual coppers and indeed nurses. Harcourt St is lively as fuck on a Friday night also but at least you will be literally across the road from the gig. |

Have booked a quiet room - thanks for the tip - any quiet pubs in Dublin that no one likes on a Friday / Saturday dinner time?...I know stupid question...thought not... Should be there for a week - with a few days in Dublin and a few days somewhere else...you never know there could be a last minute warm up thing going down someplace... |

I can't really comment as I don't usually east out in pubs in the city too much but just drink wise for a quiet decent pint that wont have a TV blaring etc... try the following... The Cobblestone The Long Hall The Oak The Stag's Head Whelan's Bruxelles Mulligans The Lord Edward Kavanaghs (aka The Grave Diggers) This is about a 12 Euros taxi ride about 15 minutes trip but it's worth it trust me. Apart from that it you want a small coastal village feel take the Dart train out to Malahide or Howth.. both about 20 minute trips from the city but loads of good pubs and nice walks.. Can advise in detail nearer time. |

Cheers for that - went to Howth on a previous visit - so Malahide will get a visit - cafes are for eating and pubs are for drinking [well most of the time] - so that list will be used. Have googled Grave Diggers - that's my kind of pub. |

Devitts on Camden st I'd stay away from pubs on Harcourt st itself, very overpriced and full of knobs |
