The Georges street area of Dublin is underrated as a drinking area imo.
Close enough to Coppers etc, and outside the more expensive areas* such as the Temple Bar & Grafton Street areas.
Some good spots there with old style boozers such as the Long Mile, Swan??? etc. A few more Trendy places like Hogans and that aswell. Theres a place that’s basically a giant courtyard with a bar on the side aswell (name escapes me its like a market inside or something). Then you have the Rainbow bars for Clarkey and the likes. Some good spots up in the area and as I said you’ve the options of Temple Bar, Grafton Street & Camden Street nearby.
[size=1]*Still not cheap[/size]
What street is the bar with no name? I thought I was at a trendy houseparty when I went there.
The voice of experience speaking here.
That’s all the place is. Full of cunts.
:lol:
Fade Street, of course.
The Long Hall is a good pub. I was in the George once and it’s a great place to meet birds. You’re not gay (unless you’re Clarkey, mind), so you’ve a way to “get the foot in the door” ready made.
Stayed in the Harcourt hotel once for my graduation a few years ago.Still use that swipe key to get into Coppers for free to this day.The palace isn’t a bad spot either.D2 despite having the best smoking area in Dublin, is a bit of a kip.
Leave them off to go to their usual shitholes please Mac.
Hopefully the decent bars of the city will remain free of the yokels
Was at a networking event last night, it was on in some fancy bar. Was charged an eyewatering $17 for a pint of Bud Light and a pint bottle of Magners, throw in the $2 tip and it was $19. Astonishing, most I’ve ever paid.
It was very much worthwhile if you networked successfully though, BT.
“You’ve got to network to get work,” you once told me.
??
$17 is only about €12.
You’d pay near enough to that in Dublin for a pint and bottle of cider.
That’s the rule I live my life by, it’s all about relationships.
It’s closer to €14 all in. To put it in context, the same round (more or less) was $6 in the next bar we went to.
Almost as expensive as that wine bar we went to when you were here Runty. I never mind paying for good wine though.
$6!!!
I’d say I didn’t get a single drink for under $6 on my visit.
Robbing bastards spotted the thick paddy.
Ahead of the festive season some prices for Dublin pubs from a few places I’ve frequented recently
Keoghs Sth Anne St
Guinness €4.55 (excellent Guinness)
Heineken €4.90
Foleys Baggot St
Heineken €5.40
Budweiser / Carlsberg €5.30
Guinness €5.00
Heineken (Bottle) €5.40
Reillys Baggot St (part of Foleys and next door to it)
Heineken €5.20
Heineken (Bottle) €5.20
Guinness €4.90
Kilkenny €5.20
Couldn’t believe the Foleys prices and left it after 1 pint. The place was pumping out the diddly music so I can only assume they’re trying to rip off tourists. It was empty as well and the bar staff were pig ignorant. Was only in Kehoes to watch some of the racing but the service was that good in there we ended up staying for a few more. Nicest Guinness I’ve had in Dublin in a while as well. None of the normal knobs you’d see hanging around the place on a Friday evening either which made it very enjoyable.
Reillys hasn’t changed a bit and would always be my first choice for a few quiet pints in the city centre. It’ll become an awful place to be though over the next 6 weeks due to being full of people wearing stupid coloured jumpers blowing whistles telling people they’re behind schedule. I was in there one night before Chirstmas last year and the barman told a crowd of lads on the 12 pubs to “Fuck off into Foleys if you want to take part in that 12 pubs shite” :lol:
Baggot Street is an awful street for rank knobbery. 12 pubs of Christmas, Christ do people still do that nonsense? “Aren’t we all just mad altogether the way we managed to have 12 pints in 12 different pubs”. Fucking tards.
There’s only 2 pubs on Baggot St I would go to out of choice, Reillys and McGrattans. Both are usually free of the normal knobbery you’d find in the area mainly because Reillys is seen as dark and pokey while a lot of knobs don’t know that McGrattans even exists.
Agreed, O’Donoghue’s is a bigger sell-out than Johnny Rotten doing butter commercials. The rest are just shit. Toner’s would be ok if you could select who could go in there. As someone with a psychological disorder whereby I feel that nearly everyone else in the world is a moronic fucktard, that would mean I’d like the place to myself to be content in there.
I believe pints of Guinness are trading at around the €4.50 mark in Searsons. Very reasonable for the area it must be said.
Guinness Price in The 51
