⭐⭐⭐
The usual poor quality array of corporate beer on offer, with perhaps 1 craft option on rotation. A decent back bar with whiskies.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Traditional preserved Irish pub with its wood fittings, upturned barrels, leaning posts, and snug backroom. Expanded outdoor seating too.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cosy and characterful with a mixture of local life and tourists. Depending on the tourist crowd that can drag it down, but it’s of the more superior city centre options.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Occasional live music, outdoor seating, accommodation, snacks

⭐⭐
Relatively poor value for money for drinks

While not in the Temple Bar area of pure tourism, this is a very well-known city centre pub with a mixture of locals and tourists which gets very busy on weekends and evenings. It’s easy to see why, with a beautifully preserved traditional interior, a narrow bar leading to a very snug backroom with framed photographs and history almost sweating off the walls.
