    Relaxing at Wollenskys
    by sue_stone
    Parched from a hard day of shopping and sightseeing, we settled down at an outside table at Wollenskys for a refreshing beverage.

    Wollenskys is a Bar & Restaurant in Temple Bar, and was the only place we could find where we could sit outside and enjoy the mild summer evening.

    The waiting staff were very friendly and the beer cold. The dinner menu looked good, but we didn't end up eating here.

    They let us in with jeans and sneakers....

    Another busy pub
    by Cruefan
    I don't know where to start, there are pubs and clubs everywhere in Dublin. We went to quite a few like the Lord Edward, The Vat House, Mess Maguires, The Temple Bar, and the Auld Dubliner to name just a few. Most serve pub food but most I saw until only 10-11PM.

    The Temple bar pubs were full of Tourists, but when we went to the Lord Edward near Christchurch Catherdral we were with some of our Irish friends and we met lots of friendly locals and had lots of good craic.

    The prices for pints in Dublin are the highest on the country. In Temple bar expect to pay 4-5 Euro for a pint of Guiness, Carlsberg, and my new favorite Bulmers (hard cider) I never got any mixed drinks so I can't give a price.

    You have to go to a pub in Dublin.. It's mandatory.

    Well pubs are casual but I wouldn't show up wearing shorts and a T-shirt with sneakers (runners) most men I saw in pubs wore dress/button down shirts with khaki pants or nice jeans with casual shoes. The ladies seemed to dress up more with alot wearing dresses and heels but it vary's from pub to pub.

    This place has been a fixture in my two trips to Dublin. In 2004 Ken brought us here after a little tour of the area. We had a great time and enjoyed the atmosphere. Kathy and Tania even were interviewed by a French TV station regarding the coming (then) smoking ban in Dublin.

    But it was the second trip that this pub shined. We found a home under the stairs there. Finding ourselves here both days in Dublin on this trip and in the same seats because we were so comfortable and it was so cold outside. Most of the pics will be of us under the stairs.

  • Wow was this place busy. It was mid/late Saturday afternoon and the place was packed with football fans. As such Liz wasn't thrilled to be in here. But I wanted to check it out since it had been recommended to me.

    I actually ordered a stella and was happy enough with it. Just being in out of the cold was worth it to me though.

    There are 2 O'Donoghue's in the city. One is in Temple Bar and we were told it is inferior to the original one on Merrion Row. So, we headed to Merrion Row. Here, we found 2 crowded inside bars and a beer garden that was packed. We found a small table in the back room and enjoyed watching the groups come and go. Upstairs were clean bathrooms - a plus in any pub! More importantly, however, our young bartender really did serve a well-pulled pint of Guinness.

    There were quite a few tourists but also many Dubliners who just stopped in for a pint and a chat. I believe that the music was starting late in the evening but it was in another room.

    Bars....: Victorian Pub

  • This pub dates back to Victorian times.. Claims to be more than 300 years old. It is full of antiques and has a wonderfully warm atmosphere. The place could do with a paint . You won't find fashionable people in here, just the locals and your nearly guaranteed a banter with them,and tourists who come to look at the decor. Full of filigree-edged mirrors, brass jugs, chandeliers and a pendulum clock that 250 years old. You will also find portraits of historical figures and even a pair of rifles on the wall. Visitors have included Phil Lynott from the excellent band Thin Lizzy and Mo Mowlam.
    Georges Street off Dames Street.

    Very casual, jeans sneakers / and or trainers permitted. No door men..

    I highly recommend a pub crawl with fellow vters. We had so much fun and they know the cool places to go that we would have never found ourselves. One of which was Dawson Lounge that claims to be Dublins smallest pub. There were 8 of us and we pretty much filled the place! It is a tiny pub down a staircase with a very tall bartender.

  • Head down to Pravda on Mondays for free films and get to enjoy a good bar as an added bonus!

    Think they like you to wear clothes, which in the Irish climate is no hardship

    Authentic Irish Music bar that serves the best Guiness in traditional surroundings.

    We managed to grab a seat (this bar is apparently always packed) and admired all the photos of the various musicians that have performed there including the Dubliners and the Chieftains - O Donoghues remains one of the few authentic bars that remains popular with locals and tourists alike.
    Go there, be prepared to wait for a seat and enjoy one of the impomptu music sessions.

    Casual.
