'The Shaw' as it's known to its young, trendy clientele is the Dublin equivalent of London's Shoreditch pubs. Seemingly compact and indistinguishable from other pubs from the outside it's the sprawling beer garden inside where all the excitement is contained. The Blue Bus contains a pizzeria, the walls are covered in colourful graffiti and the pool table is rarely left unattended. This is the usual haunt for people to get in their drinks in before heading off to sample the city's clubs. The drinks deals are impressive, including good quality spirits and craft beers and the atmosphere is always excellent.
