To be honest, I don't think many vistors to the city will have a drink in here - we were advised not to by the locals! However, it features on the famous Dublin Pubs poster so we wanted to cross it off the list! Let's just say it's not exactly up-market! But being from Scotland we were well received by the patrons and lived to tell the tale!
Many people advise not to go here it is very much a locals pub but as I'm an English girl and I have taken many friends here I found the locals very welcoming but I suppose its what your used too. Its not a high-class place but I had many great nights here. So it's worth a try!
This is a unique pub. It's truly authentic. It's where the locals go. No tourists. Be quiet. Be polite. Mind your own business. Keep your mouth shut. Best between 6pm and 8 pm. You should probably leave by 9 pm. Definitely Dublin's best pub. Three minutes's from The Gate Theatre. I never visit Dublin without visiting both.
