Dublin pubs??

[SteveIrwin]

Alright guys, hope your all well

Im coming over in the new year for a few days and we're looking at pubs to visit. Where's the best place to watch Scottish football (Setanta)?, hopefully Hibs will be on as its Scottish Cup weekend when we're over. Also, can you suggest good "traditional" pubs with Irish music (inc rebel music) in central Dublin (not the Temple Bar area!).

thanks alot lads n lasses

For the Hibs matches all the Dublin based Hibees watch them in the CZECH INN on Essex Street, beside Temple Bar. That'll definitely be best place for you to go.

Cheers mate. I did see that Hibbies were using this pub. We are gonna Czech it out anyway. Maybe see you in there if Hibs are on tv that weekend.
thanks again!

What dates are you over? Im back in Scotland from christmas eve till the 6th...Depends what you are looking for in a bar? As you can imagine plenty of choice..

Pubs in Baggot St are quite good & lively..Thats still nice & central..I tend to go to Keoghs off Grafton St, O'Donoghues on Suffolk St, the Globe or Georges St, Sine on the Quays..In fact I do try to try a new one every week or so so this could be a long list...If you want decent live trad music get yourself to the Cobblestone of an evening they have trad sessions every night..Its on Smithfield Market (where I live)..Best bar for tha sort of stuff in town..Also a cracking boozer..

[SteveIrwin]

Cheers guys. Im not over till weekend of the Eire v Italy rugby (1st Feb). Anyone know what Widow Scanlan pub is like?

[Dalianwanda]

Sorry mate, never heard of that one...Just googled it & couldnt find it either..

[nabser]

I take it you mean the widow scallans pub google it and make your own mind up,although i think its closed down.

It was a hardcore rebel pub on Pearse Street where a doorman/IRA volunteer was shot dead one night. Too much Celtic sh*te on display for my liking, don't think they liked my Hibs jersey either.

Anyway, it's now no more, demolished. No harm..

Mother Redcaps and the Brazen Head (that sounds like a name for a band! ) are two boozers near Christchurch that often throw up a good 'ol session.

cheers for the Heads up there mate. Wasnt sure what Scallans was still up to. Been past a few times in the past and it was always closed. Not wanting the Celtic rubbish anyway, but would like to sample a rebel pub or 2 whilst we are there. It is Irish history after all and some of the music is very good (if its your cup of tea, which it is). my mate seems to have a few pubs to check out too. Fancy some trad stuff and loads of good pubs inDublin have that sort of music each day/nigth. Cant wait. Thanks again
PS if anyone wants to list any more pubs for us guys, your more than welcome , cheers !

Ryans on the edge of the Liffey out by the zoo is great. Its an original victorian pub but doesn't open till 3 superb though

Took this from a website when trying to remember the name of The Long Haul. There are some pretty accurate descriptions in my opinion. All old school pubs apart from the last one with my own personal favourites in bold.

Mullligans, Poolbeg Street (some say the best Guinness in Dublin)
Kehoe’s, South Anne Street (get there before the suits arrive at 5.30pm)
Neary’s, Chathnam Steeet (for civilized conversation)
Grogan’s, South William Street (perfect Saturday afternoon spot)
The International, Wicklow Street (an institution)
The Long Haul, South Great George’s Street
The Upstairs Lounge in the Central Hotel (comfy, cozy)
Sackville Lounge, Sackville St, off O’Connell Street (the real McCoy)
The Palace Bar, Fleet Street, Temple Bar (a gem)
The Stag’s Head, Dame Court
Slattery's, Grand Canal St, they sometimes play trad music but it's been a while since i've been in.

The Garden of Eden (lap dance bar), gotta keep your options open

gogo bars in Dublin+beer=

[AndyG]

The Palace bar on fleet street. Everything a pub should be and possibly my favourite pub of all time. Everyone who goes to Dublin should go in for at least one drink.

SI

[Eire hibs]

To answer your question specifically, I asked a work colleague who plays in a band and he told me of the following pubs which play traditional music:

The Brazen Head (http://www.brazenhead.com or http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepub...razenhead.html)
O'Shea's - Opposite The Brazen Head (O'Shea's hotel Dublin Ireland, O'Sheas Merchant hotel, hotels in Dublin Ireland)
The Celt on Talbot Street (http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepubs/thecelt.html)
Hughes on Chancery Place (http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepubs/mhughes.html)

That should keep you going

Another good bar for a bit of a session and ballads is The Cobblestone. A bit of a 'spit on the floor' type pub but as I say, great for trad sessions and ballads;

The Cobblestone - dublin - bars

November at The Cobblestone - The Cobblestone - Dublin - Folk Music Venue
