    Long, narrow and decidedly old school in a "bring your own entertainment" kind of way. Cassidy's is the type of pub that you can really get into the spirit of drinking straight whiskey and speaking passionately about politics. It's got that 20th century Ireland literary hangout vibe. And like about 30 other pubs in the immediate area, it claims to be a hang out of Joyce and Kavanagh. This is, however, one of the few instances where there might be some truth to it.

    I love the vibe in Cassidy's. From the chairs and booth seats upholstered in green leather to the large wood cabinets filled with mementos and knick-knacks, Cassidy's feels warm, old and comfy. It also feels very Irish pub without being in any way like the overkill that is Temple Bar. Housed in a former Victorian home built in th 1780's, Cassidy's has maintained much of the elegant charm of that bygone era. The atmosphere is really nice, the kind of place you can go and hang out with your friends on a weeknight and end up having a really great time. The clientele is definitely a bit older, but everyone is friendly and well, charming. It would be a great place to hang out with your dad or any sports-lovers as they show games every day of the week on a big screen tv.

    The cool, laid-back atmosphere of this place, combined with the older, chilled out clientele, makes this place an ideal spot for indulging in a couple of naughty pints. The Guinness is good, really good, and there's a nice vibe here. I'd definitely think about sneaking in here for a couple of Friday night pints, that's for sure.

    This is a great pub to watch a match in! I was here the day Ireland won the Grand Slam and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. I'm not even much of a rugby fan and by the end I was screaming louder than anyone. The place was thronged and it was a bit of a pain to get to the bar but there was a waitress taking orders when she could and the barman actually helped me carry my pints down to my crowd inside the front door at one stage. It was like one big love in too - strangers chatting to one another, all bonding over our need to win! Of course Cassidy's is the pub that Bill Clinton visited for a Guinness when he came to Ireland in the '90s, so its fame is already set in stone! But it really is a fine pub - and if you can get the seat inside the front window, you're laughing. You won't move for the night! The only problem is that it's such a long bar it takes a while to get to the loo!

The authentic Victorian setting, the Victorian mahogany fittings, the mosaic marble tiled floors and granite tabletops, the mahogany bar, capped with red Connemara marble, follows the classic Victorian architectural pattern. The staff are helpful, friendly and patient since their accent is hard to understand sometime. My 1st beer and 1st Irish food, all I can say is what a meal, just simple delish. Being here is just a wondrous experience, the place is cosy, warm and the friendly of the people. So glad I picked this place as my first of Dublin.

Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

A group of us wandered down the dark alley one Sunday afternoon, a little anxious about what we might discover... Pleasantly surprised to find ourselves inside a Sleeping Beauty-like cavern of candlelit wonder, we stopped to marvel over the interior before giving the solitary bar man his rush of the century. The place was empty before we arrived, but luckily we'd brought a large enough group to make the entire place our own. The candelabras, mood lighting and high, domed ceilings make this place enchantingly atmospheric, but let's not forget the practicalities. Recipe for a good night with a large group: large tables - check, cheap beer (3.40 a pint!!!) - check, pool table - check... Ok this place is a winner. And get this - they even have a foozeball table! Rad! The toilets are definitely worth a gander... many, many mirrors, and easy to get lost in after a few pints of the dark stuff.

I should have known it would be a disaster when the female bartender had to as the waitress how to make it needless to say it was not very good. After a while my friend decided to get one more round before we left. Well to say we were shocked is an understatement. When the waitress came over she went to order a drink to which the response was cant you see I'm busy what's wrong with you going to the bar, as she turned and walked away and went back to the bar to chat with another member of staff. The girl that had been looking after us earlier I think had finished which was a shame. Needless to say we didn't stay for another drink. This would put me off going back I could understand if it was busy but service like this is not acceptable

The Wind Jammer is not, however, one of the really fun early houses. For fun early houses that serve already somewhat inebriated people, try The Chancery. The Wind Jammer is the type of early house that caters to shift workers and Gardaí from Pearse St coming off the night shift. Apart from a few couples the morning after the Trinity Ball, they wouldn't let in too many post-club revellers. The door is closed most early mornings, and they have a CCTV camera to give ya a good hard scrutinising before they'll let you in. The only time I was there for early pints, there was only one other group of young lads there and the barman looked like he was about to stop serving them. During the rest of the day and night, the Wind Jammer is a quiet pub frequented mainly by old, grumpy locals, who would sooner bite your head off than ask you the time of day. If you're really desperate for a drink and can't make it til half ten when the rest of the pubs open, by all means go to The Wind Jammer. Otherwise, there isn't that much else to recommend to it. Oh, one other thing. The Wind Jammer is the closest pub to Windmll Lane Studios, so U2 and The Saw Doctors among others have retired there for post-recording session pints over the years. Not the type of thing that would interest me, but sure it might interest you so I thought that I'd tack it on the end there
