Address: 21 Duke St, Dublin 2, IE
Right off Grafton Street, Davy Byrne's is famous in literary circles for being the site of Leopold Bloom's Gorgonzola sandwich and glass of red wine in Joyce's "Ulysses." A primary stop of the Dublin Literary Pub Crawl, the crowd is a bit older and more upscale than the usual rowdier locals in Temple Bar. Traditional pub interior of low lighting,...

Address: 9 South Anne St, Dublin 2
Kehoe's is a favorite of many Dubliners, and for good reason. It has managed to maintain its quirky, low-key pub character amid lots of newer, glossier competition. Famous for its traditional, snug, small and walled-in atmosphere where you can sit and while away the hours if you're lucky enough to have time. The owner, John Kehoe, lived upstairs...

Address: 51 South Great George's St, Dublin 2, IE
If you enjoy beer, you must make a pilgrimage to this shrine! The Long Hall is a large, beautifully designed mecca of a pub with vaulted ceilings, huge wooden arches, a long ornate bar, stained glass and chandeliers. But, don't let the elegant, Victorian beauty of the bar fool you, for the staff and the clientele don't put on any airs. This is a...

Address: 58-59 Fleet St, Temple Bar, Dublin 2
This immensely popular Temple Bar pub hits capacity limits early on weekends, so it has a lively crowd both outside and in. If you can make it to the beer garden, it's a sky lit, tree-lined room. Another room is lined with cozy booths, known as snugs in Ireland, and others are wide open for impromptu dancing. The atmosphere, beer selection and...

Address: King St South, Dublin 2, IE
Self-described "haven of writers and readers, drink, music and good company." Window display with quotations from famous writers, books, and maps. Downstairs at the bar, pictures of writers decorate the walls. Glass sconces, dark walls, basement-like feel, older clientele, and people drinking coffee as much as beer. Won the James Joyce pub award...

Address: 1 Dame Ct, Dublin, IE
A little bit off the beaten path in both locale and spirit, the Stag's Head, built in 1770, has great local color and some of the best pub food in the city. Festive with twinkling Christmas-style lights year-round and a huge stag's head behind the bar. A smaller pub and less touristy than most others in Dublin, this pub is popular with the...

Address: 20 Bridge St Lower, Dublin 2, IE
Originating in 1192, legend has it that Robin Hood drank several pints in the Brazen Head, arguably the most historic of Dublin's pubs. The wrought iron and brick outside hint at the aged atmosphere inside. A courtyard where beer kegs have been turned into tables leads inside where the atmosphere has been painstakingly maintained. A small, simple,...

Address: 9 Duke St, Dublin 2, IE
This pub has been around since 1492, "changing the world forever," as their sign claims. A bold claim, but with an ultra-friendly and laid-back atmosphere, a band of local regulars, and relative calm compared to most Temple Bar pubs, The Duke is one of the best places to relax with a pint and good conversation. With painted peach-colored ceilings,...

Address: 23 Wicklow St, Dublin 2, IE
Consistently named one of the top places to see live music in Dublin. Not the traditional Riverdance-style music the locals eschew, but the newest and best up-and-coming bands in the area! The bold red-and-gold exterior, stained glass windows, ornate ceiling, and colorful Tiffany lamps take a backseat to the music, the cold Guinness, and the huge,...

Address: 37 Exchequer St, Dublin 2, IE
A favorite among local business people, The Old Stand is a slightly more upscale version of the traditional Irish pub with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Billing itself "a select bar for imbibing and dining," and you can certainly do both of those things here. The menu includes deep-fried scampi, sirloin steak, and Chicken Kiev. One of the...
