Ireland and the Pub: 21 Stops in 6 Days

I don’t know if it’s possible to think about Ireland and not think about a pub. The Irish and the British love their pubs, and I love the Irish and the British for that. I drank Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks, Carlsberg, but mostly just Guinness.

Here follows (in no particular order) the pubs I crawled throughout the Isle of Éire:

• Mayes Pub at Dorsett St. & Frederick St., Dublin
• The Church at Henry St/Mary St, Dublin
• The Dawson Lounge at Dawson St, Dublin
• McDaids at Harry St, Temple Bar District, Dublin
• Brian Boruk.a. Hedigans at Glasnevin, Dublin
• John Kavanagh a.k.a. “The Gravediggers,” at Glasnevin, Dublin
• Ciss Madden’s at Donnybrook, Dublin
• Searsons at Baggot St, Dublin
• The Wellington at Baggot St, Dublin
• Toners at Baggot St, Dublin
• O’Donoghues Bar at Merrion Row, Dublin
• The Barbers at Grangegorman Lower, Arran Quay, Dublin
• The Cobblestone at King St, Smithfield, Dublin
• Davy Byrne’s at Duke St, Dublin

Toners pub, est 1814, has the city’s best pint of Guinness according to James Joyce #Dublin #Literature
