    Like Amz, I prefer a place where there's no horrible music pounding away at my ear drums for the whole night forcing me to communicate with other people in a form of makeshift sign language.
    I'm fond of the Bloody Stream in Howth. It's easy enough to get to, doesn't really get too busy and everyone I know goes there. There's also the frying-pan full of drink too, good fun that.

    I hear what you're saying about loud crap music in pubs but man I do like some sounds when I'm out, as long as they're 1) good and 2) not ear bleedingly noisy.

    Peters pub is pretty good too.

    Oh my god, it so is. Anseo is crazy loud too. I refuse to pay a fiver for a pint and then have to sit there eyeballing the person I'm with....
    And the indie part used to be SO good when I was a wee lass, it just mings now though

    Half-Bicycle - you should check out a pub called the Nell Gwyn in central London, just off the Strand.
    It's pretty small, but very nice, relaxed atmosphere, it's up a dark alley between two theatres so none of the tourists and very few suits know where it is.

    I used to go there a lot when I lived in London. It's frequented by 'luvvies' and owned by the Irish 'Dirty Nellies' lotto syndacate.

    Only if you're gay.

    The George is great fun, myself and the gf (honestly!) used to go there a lot. The slave auctions are gas. I love most gay pubs/clubs because there's never a hint of violence or trouble and everyone is focused on having a good time.

    I'll prob give it a wee while longer, see how it goes. I'm not sure about the curent Dublin vibe but I guess that's me being old and farty about it
    Me neither, I hope to be relocating to the South East of the UK sometime early next year. Without going into rant mode, I find Ireland, especially Dublin, has very little going for it at all levels.

    You know what? That rings a bell, does that. Always on the look out for a decent small boozer. Prefferably free of sky sports, fruit machines, 80s cheese, suits and mobiles. Impossible, isn't it?
