Looking for a cool pub in dublin, any suggestions?

Question

bear in mind i don't know much about the city

Answer 1

You need to be more specific, i.e. rough age group.  Mulligans of Poolbeg Street is an old Dublin pub.  The Porterhouse is for a young crowd.  Whelans is good if you want music.  If you are out on the Northside Gibneys of Malahide is a good place.

Want to add some info which might help?  R u looking for somewhere that locals hang out or somewhere touristy with Irish music playing or somewhere Irish people go with Irish music playing?

Answer 2

Depends on what you're looking for really...something traditional, or more modern? Personally, for something in between, I like Whelan's and the Bleeding Horse, both on Camden St, fairly central.

Edit: Okay, then maybe try Bruxelle's, on Harry St, just off Grafton St, city centre. It's a bit of a rock/metal/alternative place, I think. Paul Weller has been there (I think he was actually smoking there, despite the smoking ban) and the lead singer of Pantera was there a few months ago. There's a statue of Phil Lynott outside it. So that should give you some idea of what it's like. Otherwise, try the link below. I had a look at the site and it's pretty good, with user reviews and whatnot. Enjoy your stay!
