    Everywhere I go seems to be full of annoying little drunken 18 year olds....anyone got any advice on where 25 - 30/35 year olds socialise in Dublin city?

    Hogans on George's Street.

    Any of the pubs down and off Dawson St attract a more mature crowd:
    Cafe En Seine
    Ron Blacks
    The Duke
    Keoghs
    The Bailey
    Sam Sara

    As Clarebear said, Hogans... although it can be full of students around the college terms.
    The Village is also a good one. Ri'Ra too.
    Plenty of places really... hope you find some good ones
    Best keep away from local college haunts.

    Mulligans on Poolbeg Street an old favourite of mine before I moved to Australia. Attracts a lot of intellectual types such as writers and editors long after the glory days of the Irish Press which was next door.

    I agree with all the above, D2 on harcourt street seems to be developing a much older clientel aswell..

    Only 23, but sick of the usual 18 year old crap. Prefer a more mature crowd.

    Isn't Cafe En Seine full of posers though??

    yes and over priced.... however it s like all places, if you have a good crowd with you then it doesnt matter

    Ryans in Parkgate Street. One of the best in Dublin

    Yeah SamSara on Dawson Street is fast becoming one of my favourite Dublin pubs. Bit pricey but I really like the crowd.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,502 ✭✭✭irlirishkev


    Thomas Reades on Dame St. is a good spot. You have The Oak late bar and dance floor downstairs aswell. I've been going there a bit recently, and never see a young crowd. It's generally 23+, and I'm 28.

    Reads is a good auld spot alright and the music downstairs, if a bit loud is class alot of the time, wouldn't be suited to the younger 'generation'.

    Where's The Bailey?

    just off grafton street, think its just at the side of marks and spencers, if not its the next turn off to the right..(heading towards st stephens green)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,502 ✭✭✭irlirishkev


    Bailey = A bit posery


  • Registered Users Posts: 296 ✭✭JP Mulvano


    And for the really old crowd, AKA a salty old mans pub, Jack Nealons on Capel street. What a Pub!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,276 ✭✭✭kenmc


    Porterhouse is your only man.
    And the new one is now open in what used be Judge Roy Beans.
    Although they've sold out a bit now and are doing Guinness, Bulmers, Heineken (others??) on tap. Ah well. They have a Hemp beer there at the moment. Smells like a walk through Amsterdam!

    The International on Wicklow Street. The Oval on Middle Abbey Street, love that place!

    That's not an older crowd...thought it was young enough last time I was there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 426 ✭✭Vunderground


    The Palace has a good mix of students and 'older types'. Best pub in Dublin I reckon. Really nice girls turning up there at the moment.

    The Market Bar off Sth Grt Georges Street is a nice pub. Nice smoking area and high ceilings, 4 euro a pint of ale. I'm likin' it.

    Sounds like a plan.

    O'Neills in Pearse Street - can be quiet later, nice bar though
    Kehoe's - not a bad place to start off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭Kevin_rc_ie


    O'neills is a bit too old manish for my liking.

    Is that the huge bar where you can't hear yourself think?
