    Cassidys of westmoreland street is a cool spit and sawdust craft beer pub. Bowes of fleet street is a solid pub. The gresham hotel is probably the place to go for a fancy drink in fancy environs!

    Sweetmans around the corner is a nice place, usually quiet.

    Buskers is great, great music but a bit pricy.

    Don't forget Gallahers offer BYOB and charge a small corkage fee only. Worth remembering!

    As Johnny says Bowes is a great pub for a couple of beers and only 2 mins walk away from where you are going

    21/25

    What's the occasion / who with?
    Romantic / lads / girls etc...?
    You may want a fancy cocktail in the Merrion hotel around the corner.
    Doyle of College green is nice for a pint.
    Mulligans is nearby if you / others going are guinness heads.
    Chaplins is a lovely quiet pub around the corner also.
    Cassidys if you want something a bit cooler / hipstery

    +1 for Bowes! One of the few traditional pubs left in Dublin for a nice pint.

    Another vote for Bowes. Proper Dublin pub, one of the best.

    Well you opinion is wrong then, it's a kip full of hens, stags and skangers.


    OP check out the Mint bar in the Westin Hotel. A really nice way to start your evening in a relaxing ambiance with great service. Very nice cocktails too.
