Best pub in Dublin, few enough of these old pubs left, no comparison betwixt this place and one of those makey uppy thrown together super pubs.This is an authentic pub that hasn't likely changed much in 100 years.Plenty of snugs, proper bar men.Always packed unless you have a significant drink problem and turn up at opening on a Monday morning.Had some great nights here with the lads and latterly with the now wife.

The 2nd best pint of Guinness I had in Dublin this week, sat outside was a nice spot and staff were a good laugh, would recommend

Visited Sunday can’t believe how awful these toilets are. (Shabby and not in a shabby chic type of way, the smell of damp overpowered the other awful smeIls.) I was with some friends from abroad and was so embarrassed that this very popular and busy bar would have such dreadful facilities.

Just off the upscale pedestrian shopping Grafton Street, this is a tremendous spot to pop into at any hour of the day or night. Professional bar staff who will not leave you waiting or avoid eye contact regardless of the crowd, some great snugs, or stand outside regardless of the weather. Lovely mixed crowd of local office workers, students, tourists.

I hesitate to say too much about this place. Too good to share almost. Best pint, period and if you are lucky to snag the snug then you have hit the jackpot. Friendly staff just adds to the afternoon. We just had a few drinks, but hey that’s why we go to Dublin.

A proper pub !
