Sher they're all gone now. You won't find a real Irish pub with spit and sawdust on the floor anymore. It's all these trendy places now who'll serve you a cappafrappamochachino quicker than they'd serve you a pint of plain........

Sher wouldn't Paddy Kavanagh and Brendan Behan be spinning in their graves........

You should try Mulligans in the city centre for the best pint of Guinness in Ireland. It's a proper old-style pub, located just behind the Screen cinema (near Trinity). Now, if ye're going to go there and ye're tourists, please be respectful of the regulars who drink there. Don't bring rucksacks and block up the whole place. Don't get pissed and act the maggot. Have a few pints and have the craic, but don't be obnoxious.

If you want a bit more licence but still want to get a taste of a real pub, go to Rody Bolands in Rathmines. It's a bit outside the centre (15mins on the No. 15 bus) and it attracts a younger crowd (mostly country people - its run by a Tipperary man) but its a good example of a proper no-frills pub in Ireland.

But they are all real, and Dublin is full of tourists. Bizarrely enough one of the most 'real' Irish pub is the Palace Bar, which is in Temple Bar, and better still and a lot of the really rowdy drunk tourists seem to avoid it too, which is great.

Or head off around Grafton street to the Hairy Lemon, or the Gingerman, or O'Neills off Dame St...there are loads. Every side street has a real irish pub in it. Don't worry, somehow I doubt you'll have much trouble finding them.

Just walk off the main street and up any side street and they are everywhere!
Any pub that doesn't look all shiny and new will be the real McCoy.

Leave the tourist areas then and look for residential areas with a local!!

hill 16 bar on gardeners st or the hole in the wall in Phoenix park
The grave diggers or Kanaghs out side the cemetery on the north side
Mc daids off grafton st or Bruzzells across the road

Just avoid the Temple Bar area of Dublin (where all the tourists and stag do's go) and you'll find real Irish pubs dotted all over the place.

Are you going to be in the city centre?

Keogh's off Grafton Street
The Gravediggers- Glasnevin (beside the cemetery)
The Foggy Dew- Temple Bar
O Donoghue's- Suffolk Street
Dawson Lounge- Dawson Street
The Cobblestone- Smithfield

There are loads of pubs in Dublin though, they are really not hard to find, for the "real" experience look for small, dark pubs with fireplaces and a crowd of old men at the bar that give you a dirty look when you go in, they're my favourite kind! Then order a pint of Swithwicks!

Hiya,

I presume you are in Dublin, Ireland and not Dublin, California or Ohio.

That being the case any back street pub should meet your requirements but beware, they might be a little more 'Irish' than you are expecting.
