Best pub in dublin city centre?

snorlax

For me has to be Doyles, college green, great atmosphere, free entry!

steveland?

Gottsta say my favourite would be the ThingMote on Suffolk St.

They usually play Zeppelin and The Smiths etc which is pretty much all I need to get me goin

Either there or if you're willing to travel about 10 minutes walk from O'Connell St. there's the Big Tree which is usually a good larf

eamon dorans has a great atmosphere..

Whelans aint bad either but not exactly dead central

flogen

I would tell you, but then it would be packed with the lot of ye!

Nah... I like ThingMote too, only been there a bit, but the Guinness is a good price, and damn nice, the music is cool, the staff are really sound and you dont have to stress about heading there after college all scruffy looking (I think they do cheap cocktail stuff too)

flogen

steveland?

Vodka and half can of red bull for a fiver. Cant really argue


Where i work it costs €3.70 for the vodka and €4.70 for a little bottle of red bull... for all you maths whizzes out there that comes to €8.40!

Jim

The White Horse, or Ba Mizu during the day.

robbie1876

Thing Mote, Long Stone or Foggy Dew for me.

casso

O'Neills on sulfolk street is a nice place too. I like Thing Mote and Bruxelles is nice for an outdoors pint, gets a bit stuffy indoors though.

Chinafoot

They don't happen do Carlton Cold there by any chance?

IDM

Yeah, ThingMote is very chill. Doyles is fine sunday-thursday but god what a hole on fridays & saturdays ... 100% chance of having a drink poured on you.

Slightly Off-Topic: What would one recommend for those of us who are into our foreign beers ? I love tasting new beers but haven't really found a pub that offers weirdish imports. Thanks in advance.

I doubt anywhere can beat The Porterhouse for choice of beer

DapperGent

The Stags Head for pints and chat.

Doyles for drunk pints and chat.

The Porter House for nice beer and food.

Isoldes for being hammered at 1.00 and being able to get a seat and get served for three more hours. I fúcking love Isoldes. Even if all the dirty loose sluts of yesteryear have been replaced by gay men.

I hate that place. I hate it so much. I am trying to stay clear of it like the plague.

Doyls and Porter House are quite good.

Take it

But you get pints and a seat late in the night and you can then get drunk. And then there is the greatest kebab joint across the road to stumble to at 4 in the morning.

What more do you want?

Viva, Ba Mizu, Dakota..

I likes South William Street I do...

K.

Jim

Aye, Dakota is nice. Although I tend to constantly slide up and down the seats there.

It's true, those kebabs are unreal. Also you forgot to mention that Isoldes fufills an even more important role of doing take out's, lost count of the number of times they've got us out of a hole at 3/4am (important tip: when getting take out that late if you aren't already in the place, get the cutest girl in your group to go in and get it, works a treat evey time )

They call them the lost Isoldes sluts of yore, whither they went or why is known to none now living.

Legends tell that one day they will return to fúck noisily in the upstairs toilets once more.

Well I know one of them who wont, she's gone from the jacks to a gaff, 1 kid and another on the way, oh how the slutty have fallen!

Aye, Zaytoon is quite a great place. But i still however dont like going into Isoldes anymore. All the sluts have gone and been replaced by gay men hanging about upstairs. I noticed that about 3 when I went up to order me a pint and saw one man manking obsene guesters to my left and two guys making out to my right. At that point i realised the whole upstairs had gone .. "vogue".

Never again do I plan to step foot in that hole.

He gives head under the tables there. Hence the reason he constantly "slides"
up and down the seats. Jim your such a hoe.

Jim

At least I don't give head in Isodels.

I know you dont, you keep to classier places. None of us are low enough to give head in Isodels tbh.

The dirty sluts used to.

Jim

*Sigh.

Fine, just for you DapperGent

/me puts on skirt and heads down to Isodels

fjon

For really decently priced pints I would say Karma (formerly Handels) on Fishamble St beside Christchurch. Guinness - €3 and lager €3.50 iirc. It's smallish, not too packed, and the staff are friendly. Decor isn't the best, and the lad's toilets is tiny, but still the best palce to go in town...

Feck ye all, Brogans on Dame street was never mentioned, great little smelly basement, wonderful pints, barstaff that actually know how to pull pints, and arent stuck up ****ers......

And have twice refused to let me buy them a beer after an evenings boozing on the grounds that "you have to pay enough for the drink here as it is"...sound all together.

Great jukebox, and the only time it attracts scobes is when there's some Bob Marley w*nk on in the Olympia (or Aslan).

I'd also like to mention the Neptune Lounge (downstairs in the Flowing Tide) and The Foggy Dew. And if its a quiet pint you want on your own before meeting up with mates/heading home alone and bitter , then llokno further than the Exchequer bar. A seat and a nice pint. What more do you want?

Weird. That's happened to me once there too.

I used to like the Foggy Dew, but they play the music so psychotically loud in there now it's impossible to have a conversation. And it's the kind of pub that's designed for conversation. Pity.

Maybe the same barman? Shortish portly guy with glasses, decent skin who likes a chat?

Something tells me we'll have shared a boozer at some point Dapper...

Cheers mate, always like to put a name to a face.

Flukey

There is a great guitar player and singer that is usually in Isoldes on Saturday night.

Yeah. Sounds right. He's always awful nice. You appear to have good boozer instincts reckless, perhaps some lucky pub has had the pleasure (not to mention the drawing power) of our presence at some point.

We should charge really.
