Sometimes you just want to sit inside and watch the world go by. There’s something relaxing about being inside, sipping a pint, while the world goes by in organised chaos. We’ve picked a few spots with the perfect vantage points to people watch. If you have more to suggest, send us a message via social […]

A small pub can be a great thing. It can have the atmosphere of a large one, packed into a smaller setting. Generally, in a small pub you’re more likely to get chatting to people outside of the group that you walked in with, and you’re likely to have more of a chance for a […]

This may be a topic of interest only to pub geeks such as ourselves, and we might be the only ones to take the time to create such a list as this. But, here we are. We’re used to the standard pub stool, tall and short, or the coveted seat with a back on it. […]

We should say from the outset that International Women’s Day is very much a political day, and not to be confused with the hallmark holidays of mother’s day or father’s day. There are serious struggles going on in Ireland and around the world today. We, being a pub website, just want to show some of […]

The toastie is the perfect pub snack. It’s quick, it’s reasonably filling, it doesn’t break the bank, and, most crucially, it means you don’t have to leave the pub in search of sustenance. We’ve written before about the best toasties in Dublin, but now we’ve got a selection that are paired with a pint at […]

GAA, rugby, and soccer might be more visible sports when it comes to spectators in pubs, but what a lot of people don’t know is just how widely watched horse racing is. Cheltenham is the biggest festival on the race calendar and some people go so far as to take time off work to watch […]

There should be plenty of pancakes to go around today in Dublin pubs. On this list we’re letting you know the places that are definitely serving them. It’s likely there’s other places serving them too, and we’ll add them to the list as we find them. JW Sweetman     Happy #PancakeTuesday from all @JWSweetman […]

  Yesterday The Temple Bar pub put on their facebook feed a photo of a tattoo of the pub on a seemingly very loyal customers arm. “So Sophie Gotz from Germany happened to do this tattoo last week. Great job Sophie. We love it!!!” A few years ago we found several other people who had […]

We’ve put together a listed of pubs that we think will be excellent places to watch Ireland take on the other 5 nations. We should say that this list excludes sports bars, as we’ve got another list for them. These pubs offer something in the way of atmosphere or rugby tradition that we feel makes […]

The first 6 nations game is an early one, so it’s best to get a full feed in your belly while you watch.   The Hill- Burger and a pint €10     The Hill are fast becoming known for their cuisine. Pair that up with a craft beer and you’ve got a very good […]

Over the last few months we’ve come across several pubs in the Dublin area that retain an old characteristic, now long out of use. Several pubs have bells in snugs, along the bar, and along the perimeter of the walls. While this might come as news to older patrons of Publin, we’ve never experienced one […]

Generally speaking we pay a bit more for craft beer. That’s to do with economies of scale, and the quality of quantity of ingredients used. There’s several pubs around Dublin that have, on certain days, a reduced price for craft beer. here’s a few of them. As with all of our lists, if you know […]

A select few Dublin pubs have decided to get in on the discounting action and offer some cut price food and drink.   Sweeney’s     Sweeney’s on Dame Street will be offering everything on their food menu for €5 all day on Black Friday.     Mary’s Bar   When you find out Mary’s […]

In Dublin we’re blessed by the presence of our American cousins from across the Atlantic. Some of them have made a home here, some work here, and some are just visiting. They’re all very welcome. One of the hardest things about being away from home is missing big events like birthdays, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. So, […]
