Dublin : Bars & Nightclubs

Bruxelles

Bruxelles is a music bar on Harry Street just around the corner from Grafton Street. Its ground floor bar feels like a traditional Irish pub and has reasonable prices for the area, meanwhile the upstairs hosts bands - from blues to contemporary and rock & roll.
Kitty Kiernans Pub

Dublin's famous Kitty Kiernans Pub is located on a quiet leafy avenue halfway between Dublin Airport and Dublin City Centre (8 minutes from both) It's popular with locals and visitors alike. There's live entertainment nightly - Irish music,folk,comedy and casino nights. Free admission and open until late. This Pub is highly recommended by local B&B Almara (www.almarabb.com) 2 minutes walk.
Mulligan's

Once a working-class drinking man’s pub (there were originally no chairs, since “real men” should stand as they drank), Mulligan’s has since attracted a mixed bag, including former US President John F Kennedy. It is still stark, but cosy nonetheless, and constantly busy. For literature buffs, it features in the writings of James Joyce. Perhaps the best Guinness in Ireland: try a pint and cast your vote.
Ryans

This beautifully preserved pub has self-contained snugs – originally for “the ladies” – on each side of the counter. The decor is Victorian in every detail, from the mahogany partitions and sepia photographs to the brass match lighters fixed to the counter. Upstairs is a cosy restaurant which has won several awards.
