a missed opportunity to rhyme “Lincoln” with “Drinkin’”.
Come on, Broadsheet.
Sorry, Jack. Fixed now. Thank you.
Eh, the Lincoln Inn, where else?!!!
O’Donoghues has gone to sh*te since the suits and rugby crowd took over.
It was always shite!
+100
Absolute total shite. Worst service and presented pint in the area.
No matter how much a place sucks, I’m guessing Mr Lewis gets fairly decent service…if you know what I mean!
Grand if you enjoy shit service, last time I was in neary’s I felt like I was really putting him out asking for a pint & the other place,possibly the rudest barmen and not in a fun way. Donoghue’s has some of the worst clientele in Ireland, basically everyone who broke the country and still glories in it.
There’s a massive difference between the bar downstairs and the lounge upstairs in Nearys. Downstairs, they almost fling the drinks at you, assuming you can get the one of old fecker’s attention to order them in the first place. Very different upstairs, far more civilised staff, for whatever reason.
Not the sort of upstairs/downstairs contrast you get in the Lord Edward, mind, they’re like two alternate realities.
Had a really dodgy pint in Neary’s the last time I was there a few weeks back, McDaid’s or The Swan for decent city centre pints
McDaid’s, Mulligan’s and The Palace Bar.
Did you not tell them we named our light-rail transport after DDL?
i hope they name the bridge between the red and green lines the Danny Day Linkin’
Neary’s is okay. But unless you’re a square or a jock (or DDL seemingly) O’Donoghue’s is to be avoided like the plague.
It’s gotten so much worse since they expanded into that building to the right of the ‘lane’. The shower that smoking section attracted before was bad enough, but now it’s full of nothing but pricks.
DDL might be thinking of those two spots as they were when he was a more regular drinker in town, pre-Tiger, early 90s, c. In The Name of the Father. A different, relaxed, time, before camera phones, when, though famous, he probably wouldn’t have been asked for an autograph
I’m walking out the front door with Jerry!
You’re all wrong, the only two pubs you need to know in Dublin are Nealons on Capel St and Frank Ryans on Queens St. God I miss those pubs…
Shhhhh…ffs…NEVER mention the latter on a blog/forum. You’ll ruin the last bit of stout time I have.
I can confirm that this is a decent boozer.
But it’s already full with dickheads. So a few more won’t hurt.
Sweet, they go home as soon as the courts are over. There’s no better place in Dublin on a Saturday afternoon, except Nealons.
The pints in Nealons are gone to the dogs. Was served the worst pint I’ve ever been handed in Dublin last week, the culmination of a trend. Won’t be back until I’ve heard they’re under new management. The baby barristers had the vibe in the place ruined anyway.
MacNeill’s or The Black Sheep will be my boozers of choice on Capel Street henceforth.
Here’s a mad idea: don’t post your favourite pub on the Internet as it will be filled with ass hats the next time you go there.
He didn’t. As it says, he wrote it down for them.
Bono popped in for a couple of pints in Grogans last Saturday afternoon, with Simon Carmody & Security Man. Very low key, they were squashed into a table with some random pub drinkers, no one bothered them….
I was walking past Grogans last saturday afternoon and was amazed to see that there was NOBODY sitting outside. I even took a pic and meant to send it in to Broadsheet, such was the shock.
Now I know it’s because Bono was inside and everyone else moved in so as not to bother him.
Simon Comedy
He’d probably get a naggin of vodka and head down to Linkin Park.
I dunno if I can agree about DDL’s ability to recognise a day’cent pub
Like I’ve seen him in (the Brittas Bay) McDaniels, with guests
And anyone who’d bring visitors to that place in recent years is definitely ‘not right’
The Cobblestone is the only pub you need to know in Dublin.
And Namaste a few doors down is the only Indian you need. Dublin I miss you, sometimes.
The pub I really like is so much better than all other pubs suggested so far.
Seems obvious to me that DDL has a very Stephens Green-centric view of Dublin. What about the Welcome Inn on Parnell Street, you method acting twat??
I’m afraid the Welcome Inn has closed down
The Foggy Dew is your only man
Guess what guys, there are no goog pubs left in Dublin! Nearys, stinks and so do their pints
Just as well, I’m not a fan of goog pubs myself.
Plenty of good ones, mind.
Neary’s has always had a fairly artsy crowd. I used to drink there many moons ago. You could often see Milo O’Shea and a few other fairly well know Irish actors in there.
back door of the Gaiety is near the back door of Neary’s.
I don’t know what you lads are doing but I’ve found the barmen in Neary’s (downstairs) to be among the finest in Dublin. Civil, intelligent and able to remember a table’s order all night. That’s all I ask.
And sure who was there to take our photo but Bruce Springsteen himself.
Bowes on Fleet Street is a great pub. Especially if you like whisky and a good selection of beers.
I am in no way affiliated with it!
Have to say the most unpleasent bar in dublin has to be Peter’s pub just off Stephen’s Green. Nasty, 20-something short-arse prick of a barman works there. Have never seen anyone as outwardly aggressive working behind a bar in my life. That, and the pint are over priced. Avoid at all costs.
I will very judiciously reveal my favorite pubs in Dublin and Ireland in general–never on the net!!
Neary’s (above), Chatham Street, and O’Donoghue’s (top), Merrion Row.
