  • Fibber MaGees, Eamonn Dorans. Avoid the rest of the places in temple bar, theyre ridiculously expensive. Upstairs in the Westmoreland is good too. Avoid the DiceBar, its like drinking in a fishtank
  • The Ha'Penny bridge Inn. There is the most top blues / country night ever, played by an absoloute god of slide guitar in here on Saturday / Sunday nights. Even though it's in Temple Bar, it's retained a clientele and atmosphere. Still looking for a pub in the Dublin area with a decent garden for those sunny summer evenings though...
  • Pretty much all of them are great
  • The Foggy Dew - it's mentioned in a Mundy Song Big Jack's Baggot Inn - once owned by Jack Charlton, now runn by his son I think. The Neptune Lounge - bizarre, dark downstairs bar with a rock/goth juke box and a Grand prix decor.
  • The Voodoo Lounge, Arran Quay. Brilliant joint, partly owned by Huey from Fun Lovin Criminals. It is the place if you're black,white, New Yorkian, Irish, or anywhat. Go and you won't be disappointed.
  • Eamonn Dorans - this is where TFI Friday was broadcast on St. Patrick's Day 2000. U2 were there and all...
  • Stag's Head is great. Temple Bar joints are too busy and touristy. But I guess that's what some people want.
  • THE HALF PENNY BRIDGE INN ?. IS THE BEST PUB I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO PASS OUT IN. FANTASTIC PEOPLE, FANTASTIC HOSPITALITY. "BONNIE" FAE SCOTLAND
  • Avoid Temple Bar area, strictly for tourists both foreign and irish!!
  • Got to try new trendy put Zanzibar. They flew those urns in from Sicily. Near the Hapenny Bridge.
  • anywhere in temple bar
  • Club USI(Union of students of Ireland) just behind USIT on Aston Quay. Good launching pad to clubs or downstairs to The Furnace.
  • The Globe on Georges St. Where some of the hip-hop BYT's gather. -The Oak Jazz Bar on Dame Street for a quieter evening... Basically anywhere around Temple Bar is good..just have a peek inside to get a whiff of the atmos or age group. Usually all get packed out practically by 9pm.
  • Hogan's on Georges St, just up the road from The Globe. It used to be pretty posey, but nowadays the look-at-me's all go down the road to the Globe, so there's a good mix. The barmen serve Guinness at superhuman speed, too. ;)
  • The Hairy Lemon. Happening pub, great atmosphere. VERY expensive though - pint of Caffreys £2.55.
  • Fibber Magees, Bruxelles, The George (if you're gay that is) and some others I can't think of right now.
  • Keogh's on South Anne St. - young crowd, and the upstairs used to be someone's flat. The pub expanded into it, but didn't really change the decor. It's like being at a very crowded party. The Long Hall in Wexford St. for eighteenth-century ambience. There's a good traditional music session at the weekends upstairs in the Oliver St.John Gogarty in Temple Bar. The Castle Lounge near George's St. arcade is an old Beatnik hangout that hasn't been modernised. Great Guinness there too. The Dawson Lounge on Dawson St. is the smallest pub in Dublin and is cute, if you can get in. Johnnie Fox's up the Wicklow Hills is a good day out for tourists, although a bit twee, with excellent seafood and live traditional music.
