Don't go to FitzSimons, even ironically, even in jest. Yes, it's perfectly central in the foul wheezing heart of Temple Bar, yes it has one of the few open-air drinking areas in that part of the city, yes it's bleedin' enormous, but your dignity and the dignity of your friends is worth more than that.
I'm from Dublin and naturally resentful of the filthy tourist traps that infest the cultural ...
Some consider Peter's Pub the second best pub on Sth William St, and while that may not sound like much of a boast, the curious drinking tourist should bear in mind that the competition is Grogan's (see the posting on Grogan's).

It caters to a mainly alternative crowd that fill it to capacity on the weekend. The D.J.s are well versed in what is happening in music at the moment as well as playing a mix of ...
Formerly Isolde's towers, this centrally located pub-club is often overlooked amidst the crass atmosphere of the over-hyped Temple Bar. It offers a late bar and D.J seven nights a week playing a mixture of chart favourites with some classic 70's and 80's, drummers play upstairs on the weekend. The crowd is unpretentious and laid back, with a large Polish presence and the usual smattering of Irish regulars. The door policy is not overly strict, ...
