Drinks & Nightlife
Dublin's BEST 'real' pub. Best pint of Guinness!
Sit outdoors and people watch, if you're lucky enough to get a seat. Inside is hilarious, really dingy but great fun. The bar manager is Carl and great craic.
If you're hungry while having a drink get a ham and cheese toasted sandwich 'toastie'. Famous!

Oldest gay bar in Dublin, opens late enough every night and probably the best place to find out where to go until the sun rises. They have a drag show every night, Thursday - Sunday are best, with Sunday being our favourite.
