    Trying to arrange a pub crawl in advance for a Monday night.
    PLaces close to Dublin, we cant go too far out,
    any suggestions on places that are open Monday, free in, are not over 21's and in a close vicinity to everywhere else?

    Camden St/Wexford St maybe, start off at Shine, Solas, The Village, Whelans, The Palace, Ryans then over the road to Anseo and Flattery's.:D

    It's illegal for a pub to admit over 21's only. Once a person is 18 years old (all else being in order) they cannot be prohibited from entering a public house.

    Not a bad idea, but skip shine, solas, the village and the palace. Replace with Devitts, Cassidys, the bleeding horse and O'connells further up on South Richmond Street. Anseo can stay as it used to be Cons, and I guess you mean Flannerys?

    true. as long as a patron can prove they are over 18 they cant be refused entry based on age

    Lower Deck is too far up, but you'll get a great pint in there I tell ye and might even bump into myself or admiralofthefleet, although I haven't been there in a while. ;)

    Ye your plan is probably better, saying that combine mine, yours and admirals' Lower Deck suggestion and we've got the ultimate pub crawl.:cool: And ye I meant Flannerys not Flatterys.

    I'd start off in Rathmines in Roddy's then on down to the Portobello, maybe along the canal to The Barge and finally down Hardcore (Harcourt) Street to the bould Coppers!! (Maybe head down the lane to Flannery's first to make sure yer wasted enough to face Coppers)

    Don't judge me, that route has been tried n tested by several qualified pissheads and is perfect for a messy bitta craic n banter kinda night.
    You just won't remember any of it ;)

    Why are most posters assuming that the pub crawl should be on the far side of the Liffey? Sure most of the real pubs are on this side! :)

    well where is the proposal then??

    I did a decent one from Quinns in drumcondra via dorset street, bolton street, capel street, over the bridge, up dame street, up georges street and ending on camden street one paddies day. Bit more walking but better variety of pubs and you have an incredible choice too, just pick them based roughly on even walking time.

    That sounds like an awful pub crawl. There's only 5 pubs there and there's a big distance between, not to mention each place you mentioned is a **** hole and a carbon copy of the next one.

    Can a licensee not refuse entry to anyone without giving a reason? Just interested as I'm sure that's the case in the UK.

    Theres one i always thought would be a good idea to get the northside and southside in but only to be done on a nice day and start early. Start on either side of the liffey and go to every pub until you encounter a bridge, cross the bridge and continue in the same direction and go to every pub along the way and go to the other side when you encounter a bridge and repeat

    I havent done it myself and think there may be a small chance of death from alcohol poisoning if you do the whole thing :)

    Baggot Mile is different class, however prepare for a messy end of night in Coppers or D2, where by this stage the suit jacket has been discarded lol :)

    Done a Northside crawl once from the Goblet/Roundabout in Artane all the way into town, a bit of an experience the further into town you went......

    Any pub crawl that doesnt involve a 5 minute walk between each one is fine. If your starting in Rathmines go with Mother Reillys, Roddy bolands, Madisons, Graces, Toast, Rathmines Inn, Portabello,(cant remember the name of the one between these, looks real small on the outside, old mands pub) Bernard Shaw, Bleeding horse then decide if you want to go up camden street or harcourt street.

    I'm not saying I like most of those pubs either, but there's a short distance between them and you'll have plenty of pints. If your going on a pub crawl I prefer it to be 10+ pubs and with the majority of them being pubs I never went to before. I dont know how excactly going to 5 pubs counts as a "crawl" either. Most people go to 3-4 pubs in a night anyway, so I'd cant how Bolands -> Portabello -> Barge -> coppers counts as a crawl.

    Well since your idea of fun is going to Roddy's, flannerys and coppers I'm obviously not as much fun as you are.

    Ugh, stay away from mother reillys. The guinness in there is terrible and the bar staff are really slow. Perhaps that was a once off, but I wont chance going back there again.
    If you're starting in rathmines go to Bolands first and steer clear of the Rathmines Inn.

    A city centre one I did last year for the 12 pubs of christmas:
    O'Neills
    International Bar
    The Old Stand
    The Library Bar (Upstairs in the international Hotel)
    The Long Hall
    Hogans
    The Market Bar
    Sheehans
    Nearys
    McDaids
    Bruxelles (downstairs in the heavy metal bit!)
    John Keohes
    Davey Byrnes

    There's actually 13 there cos the International Hotel was closed. They're all here. I measured it out, it's about 1km long. I did it during the day, started at 4pm, so none of the pubs were full. They're all free in, maybe the bouncers at Hogans will be a bit strict, but on a monday night you'll be grand. There's also an abrakebabra on Sth Annes Street near the end! And a Taxi rank on Dawson street, so handy for everyone to get home.

    I went to Flannery's last night with a friend who is 18 and we were both stone cold sober cos I had just driven up from home! It was his first time out in Dublin and I said we'd go to Flannery's! He got asked for ID and he had his passport and the bouncer said (after seieng what age he was) "sorry, it's over 20's only". Another person i know had 2 girls with him and one was 19 and one was 20 and they were told it was "over 21 only".....no point in arguing with dublin bouncers either, but can they do that and change the age depending on what is on someone's ID just cos they don't want them in there? I was thinking of ringing them, but is there a point???? They don't care about one person cos they're packed every night!!!

    This is misinformation. It is not illegal. Section 25 of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2003 allows a licence holder to set a minimum age for the provision of alcohol in their premises.
    (4) If—

    (a) the holder of a licence or other authorisation which permits the sale of intoxicating liquor adopts a policy of refusing to supply intoxicating liquor to any person below a specified age which exceeds 18 years,

    (b) a notice setting out the policy is displayed in a conspicuous place in or on the exterior of the premises, and

    (c) the policy is implemented in good faith,

    a refusal to serve intoxicating liquor to such a person shall not constitute discrimination on the age ground.

    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2003/en/act/pub/0031/sec0025.html
    http://www.hayes-solicitors.ie/news/news_52_2003_December_17.htm

    Discrimination on other grounds e.g. race or sexual orientation is not permitted and licence holders can lose their licence if found guilty.

    yes, but no where outside Flannery's does it say that the age limit is 20/21 etc... My point is that they were making it up according as they went along...cos my friend was 18 it was 20, and those other girls were 20 so they changed it to 21....surely this can;t be right....not that anuthing could be done anyway as I'm sure they'd deny it!
