    Anyone map a route out this year?

    Im thinking maybe try an East-West Route this time. Maybe start in Graces and work your way along, ending around the left bank?

    I don't drink, but East to West would be a good idea.

    Maguires, Fiddlers, Castle, Seans, the Palace and the Snug.

    Gerthys, Coppers, Ricks, Durty Harrys, Nuts Corner and the Prince.

    1. Shines
    2. The Grove
    3. Monaghans......on to Caunnaught st
    4.McNeills.....quick game of pool....
    5.Walshes
    6.The Olde oak....a cosy game of darts
    7.Vals.....some chips for soakage
    8.Willie Mcgraths....good conversation
    9.Maguires.......selection of beers
    10. The Fiddlers.....time to start singin
    11.Higgins
    12.Larry's

    Thats my christmas selection;) a great mix of westside hospitality.

    Why is your list West to East (apart from the last)? Maybe you should drink.

    I agree that a couple of pubs on my list may be frequented by some colourful and earthy clients but rough ???

    Certainly not.

    Check out Flannery's, (beside Dunne's in Irishtown).
    Mad Anne will look after you!

    Flannerys is the best spot in town.
    Its important that the last 4-5 pubs are good ones, or else the party will die when you start becoming completely fooked.

    I would work East to west as suggested.
    Shack
    Richard Graces
    Flannerys
    Nuts
    Piano Bar
    Prince
    Harveys
    Gerties
    Castle Inn
    Seans
    Snug
    Larrys

    I was commenting on the direction, not the destination.
