Awesome two-level bar with several areas throughout the building. So when the band’s shitty, just go to the next room and enjoy your pint there. Lots of great bands here though, since the venue was host to such legends as Jeff Buckley, Nick Cave, Christy Moore, and Peter Buck and Mike Mills from REM.

Located on the corner of Parnell Street and O’ Connell street, this dark and divey bar is great for fans of loud music. The street level pub has a great juke box, stage, couches to sit on and pool tables. There is also a room in the basement.
Beer is relatively cheap for Dublin standards (EUR 3,50 for a pint of Foster’s or Bavaria) and it is right in the middle of the city centre.
And if you get bored of playing pool or listening to heavy music, you can take a seat in the big biergarten or move next door to Murray’s or the Living Room to watch sports.

If you’re too drunk to get home, there is a hotel next door and the pub offers special rates on rooms there.

every Monday –2 euro a drink (cover charge 10 euro from 8pm)
every Thursday –3 euro a drink (cover charge 5 euro from 8pm

Great bar in Dublin. The prices are average and the music is pretty cool usually. Primordial vocalist Alan DJ’s there on a somewhat regular basis. Related posts: Paule’s Metal Ecke Rock’n'Roll Herberge Videodrom Related posts:
