The house DJ's play quite an eclectic mix of music styles but generally shy away from current chart toppers. They often host special evens and live performances so it is worth taking a look at their website in advance of your trip as some events are ticketed.

winner of best snug in Ireland 2011 by Powers Whiskey and the public. Its excellent Guinness is reason alone to visit but the friendly staff and its location away from the crazy tourist stuff but close enough for you to enjoy what Dublin has to offer. Great beer garden and music if your lucky.

The Blue Bus is a pizzeria which opens from Thursdays to Sundays from 6 pm till closing time of the bar. The price is acceptable and sometimes they have fun deals like: “if your name is Pedro, you will receive a free pizza today”. And if you’re at it you can rent a water pipe for smoking while having dinner, yes, in a bus.

this bar is well away from the main tourist drag on Wexford street which along with the adjoining Camden street is full of great places to eat, drink and meet like minded locals. The bar has a modern relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable staff to guide you through the many beers on offer.

Quirky is good and here you get plenty of quirk for you buck! Menus come in old books, the bill comes in a maths set with a few sweets thrown in. The cutlery used to be all vintage but customers kept taking souvenirs so they had to run an amnesty to try and get it back. Now there is less vintage cutlery but that does not detract from the charm.

McDaids Pub

The pub is old and narrow so be prepared that if it's busy it takes a while to get served and you many not get a seat (there are more upstairs) but the wait is worth it. They show sport but other than that all the noise comes from conversation.

There is nothing contrived or fake about this pub, they have a long history of good live music so it is not put on as a ploy to get tourists in the door. You will find more locals here than tourists and the pub is a popular post work spot for the many office workers in the area.

It's your chance to get into one of the Georgian buildings Dublin is known for, it's been completely modernized with not many original features evident but will give you an idea of the scale and grandeur of this era. Take the lift to the 5th floor and enjoy the views.

Where better to sample a pint of Guinness than in the Brewery where it is made. Many of the beers here are exclusive to this bar only and some may never even make it to market

If you want to dance the night away and possibly get lucky in Dublin then this is the place. Taxi Men say if you cant get lucky in Coppers you will never get lucky. It has that reputation. Read the reviews, crammed with drinkers and party goers until the early hours of the morning. Prepared to hear the cheesiest chat up lines you've ever heard.

You can expect a huge covered and heated outdoor smoking area upstairs. Three bars, one downstairs, one in the loft and one in the smoking area. It's best to head here from Thursday to Saturday, but if you are looking for a quite drink earlier in the week it's still a great spot.
