The Palace Bar
The Palace Bar sits down the street from Trinity College. The 100-year-old pub has been featured in documentaries and publications for years. Grab a pint of Guinness and have a chat with the locals. We learned so much about Ireland from talking with the bartender.
Temple Bar Street
Temple Bar might be one of the most famous pubs in Dublin, but the streets around Temple Bar offer much more history. Shops and restaurants dating back to the early 1600s offer the best gifts, stews, and beers you’ll ever experience.
The Brazen Head
The Brazen Head is the oldest bar in Dublin. Its legacy dates back to 1198 and has served famous literary writers including James Joyce and historic rebels who used the pub as a meeting place for the Irish revolution. It is rumored the ghost of Irish Nationalist, Robert Emmet, protects the pub from enemies.
O’Donoghue’s
The pub is famous for its discovery of many traditional Irish folk music groups including The Dubliners.
The Hairy Lemon
Full of tradition and character, The Hairy Lemon is one of Dublin’s trendiest pubs. The pub was named after a local dog catcher in the 1950s who boasted a unique lemon shaped visage and a stubble of gooseberry like hair.
Molloy’s
Molloy’s is one of the 16th remaining pubs from the Victorian era.
Toner’s Pub
Toner’s is proud to serve the best pint of Guinness in the city. In 2010, the pub took the title of the “Snug of the Year.” The pub was a local favorite of W.B. Yeats and Patrick Kavanagh.
O’Neills
Around the corner from Trinity College sits O’Neills. The busy area used to be the home to the early parliament building which saw executions, trails, and government officials.
