McDaid's was famously the watering hole of Brendan Behan (amongst many others in the area), Patrick Kavanagh, J.P. Dunleavy and many more. While it maintains a reputation as one of Dublin's 'literary pubs' there is still a great local atmosphere about the pub. Portraits of some of McDaid's more famous loungers grace the walls and there are plenty of interesting stories about the origins of this 19th century building, including that it was once a morgue due to its high ceilings. You'll need to sit down with a pint of Guinness and decide for yourself.
