O'Reilly's underneath Tara St. is €3.20 a draft pint on Saturday nights and I think some other nights of the week, good music too, and other drinks promotions. Was there on a Saturday a few weeks back and had a deadly time.

Does Dublin have a 'center' ? Thought those were just in U.S. cities, with an Irish city having a centre ?

Peadar Kearney's on Dame Street isn't a bad pub and with most drinks costing €3.50 until 7 PM on weekdays (5 PM weekends) pretty good value. Had three pints of Carlsberg in there yesterday. Still had 50c left out of my tenner.:)

Stay away from the Players Lounge. I'm not gonna post the reasons, just stay away!

Players Lounge is a grand little spot, good music, great for watching sport and nice food. The shooting of the doorman and punters there though will (rightly) turn a lot of people off the place.

In the City Centre I enjoy O'Donoghue's on Baggot Street, not great prices though. For price I like Porterhouse.

Sgt.Peppers

MacTurtaills on Tara St. is €3.50 for pints every Friday now. It used be 3.50 during the week too though think thats gone now.

To be fair a lot of very dodgy stuff has gone on there over the years. Was there not another shooting there a few years prior to that? The previous owners were rumoured to be using it as a front for money laundering if I recall also.

The Bernard Shaw is great with drinks promotions all the time 12 euro for a pitcher of beer 3 bottles of beer for a tenner saturday night isnt bad.

The Celt on Talbot St, good for music in the evening. Thats when its not full of spanish tourists sharing a 7-Up between them taking up every seat in the place.

Paparazzo

I was in Kearney's on dame street, a pint of heineken and a vodka and coke cost me €7 because it was happy hour!
There's been several post about the Players Lounge and it's generally regarded as a dump. Wouldn't consider it city centre either.

michelledoh

Definitely Bernard Shaw and Twisted Pepper do great deals.
10 options which are €10 each, like 3 bottles Brahms, Peroni, 2 cocktails etc.

Twisted Pepper also has unreal coffee!

I personally like The Foggy Dew, The Stag's Head, The Gin Palace (when acoustic guitar guy isn't playing), Pravda (although it's a long time since I've been), The Dame Tavern, The International Bar, Grogan's, Hogan's (although can be a tad pretentious), McDaid's, Kehoe's.

I don't think any of them are particularly cheap but pretty much in line with everyday prices.

For the most part I like a bar with no music, no TV, and no young people in tracksuits - or loudmouths.

Reminds me of Celtic Tiger days.
Awful place.

It's called The Grand Social now.

Chaplins on Hawkins St (Opposite the Screen cinema) do €4 for any pint, all day. They've also always got various promotions on bottles. And like all proper pubs should do, they've always got the Horse racing on

Oh, good to know, thanks!! I guess they're in competition with MacTs and O'Reillys close by.

O'Reillys Underneath Tara street dart station, All pints are always 3.20. Nice pub, usually buzzing ( not over busy on week nights tho )
