Usually the best places for Guinness are non-touristy, old man pubs that are dirty and out of the way, basically pubs that play trad music on a regular basis. Hughes pub beside the 4 Courts Luas stop is a good one too.

If you dont like Guinness it's not a good place to go though!!

when I was workin on the building sites, all the old men used to love the Palace on Fleet Street and said it had the best guinness :oops: . Terrible terrible pub... I was in there with them once and lost count of how many times I was told I should be married at my age :shock: (which was probably 24 at the time)

That is a truly awful place! The Westmoreland pub around the corner tho, i kinda like. Whats the name of that earlybird pub beside Tara St Dart Station? That's real rough stuff....

8-) Creepy auld fellas fancying their odds eh? They're such players.

Hehe, im 24 now, and I'm starting to hear the same thing from old the old dears where i work now. They're trying to set me up with people purely on the basis of being a similar age to them, its cringeworthy stuff!! But I love it secretly.

My favourite dingy pubs in town are The Swan on Aungier St, Donoghues on Leeson St, The International, or the Sackville Inn. Damn, im a sucker for dives!

Come to think of it, MacTurcaills off Pearse St is another good Pre-O2 pub. Great pub.

I say I love them, but its probably because i hardly ever go that helps keep the love alive.

Grogans, Brogans ...i always mix them up but theyre both great spots.

Sure there's a few great pubs on every street...spoiled for choice.

All this talk is making me fierce thirsty.....

I'm actually going for a few myself!

Still have to celebrate getting all these tickets! My own Xmas pressies :-)

Hey Helen, when are you coming over for a few yourself? :-D

I'll be home for Christmas (in Cavan though) but I'm going to TRY and get a night out on the 28th in Dublin (would be the only night I'm out IF I'm out... really want to but will completely depend on funds at that stage :oops:

Jenny said she'll be around, do you think you'd be around that date? Sure if I can't make it you can all have a few anywho Ya don't need me for a meet up. What about you too Jordy?

oh the white horse :? used to walk by there on me way to work... what a dump!

we all know everyone wants to go to Whelans though... think whelans should be the night before

MacTurcaills my fav carvery pub! They also recently installed some tables with taps, Carlsberg and Guinness so you can pour your own pint!

We could organise a competition between more tables... that would be very nice :-D

that sounds fab... also cos it's a week night we don't have to worry about pubs being too busy

I know I've been in there for a work night once... I can't really remember though, think I liked it

Sin e was a great suggestion though... love that place :oops: it's not really MUCH further though, is it? And directions would be easier straight down and it's on yer right.

was there only recently for a friend's leaving party, we were thrashed... great music and great atmosphere...
not that far away from O2 and yes on the same quay side...

but then again I'm morbidly attracted by the tap tables... :-D
