    Sat here in what was formerly Madison on Wicklow St; its now called Marys and resembles a pub you'd see in the back arse of Connemara. Yup, tis gimmicky but I actually like it. Could see this place becoming a feature of my usual spots. Just came up from Mulligans too and the Guinness is actually better here imo.

    Any others from the floor?

    Houricans on Leeson street - Nothing better than relaxing with a toastie and a pint in there.

    P. Macs on Stephen Street and The Exchequer on Exchequer Street are two of my favourites at the moment. Sweeneys on Dame Lane is good craic too, but is let down by the stream of addicts/beggars/gougers that constantly pester you out in the smoking area.

    Long Hall, Chaplins and Nearys are good for quiet pints.

    Mulligans and their Guinness is horrendously overrated.

    Pmacs and the Thomas House are my favourites. Sweeneys for the late bar but as mentioned the lane out the back is becoming slightly dangerous.

    no, this is not quite right.

    They are re-opening as The 108, and they open at 5pm, and for 108 minutes all Galway Bay Brewery pints are €1.08

    :)

    You could try the twisted pepper right beside it. Or Dice Bar near Smithfield or the Mezz in temple bar.

    My favourite bars are the Hairy Lemon, the Beerhouse, Frank Ryans

    It depends what I'm in the mood for but my favorites are Grogan's, MVP (Clanbrassil Street), Blackbird (Rathmines), Against the Grain.

    Haven't tried P Mac's yet so that's next on the list, and maybe The 108.

    Why do these craft beer places never have any women in them?

    The clientele remind me of the neckbeard "right to ramble" crew from the Peak District.

    Brogans, Long Hall, The Oval, Chaplains, MacTurcails, Bowes, Doyles and the Hop House would be my usual haunts.

    I like Devitts on Camden St too, but not often I'm up that side of town.

    Can't say I agree with that observation, I see plenty of women in ATG, Black Sheep, Porterhouse etc. Women like beer too shockingly.

    I suppose its ATG I'm talking about really...porterhouse has it's fair share of women but ATG seems to only ever be full of male crusties.

    I like Sams if it isn't too busy and Black Door for the late spots.

    For a few pints and/or food and/or a match the Bath, O'Briens, Dice Bar, ATG, Smiths in Ranelagh and McSorleys all tick the right boxes!

    I have to find a new one as my usual haunt has closed down. I am looking forward to the Belfry reopening in Stoneybatter, apparently it isn't going to be the same though. I am happy with any bar as long as a pint is no more than a fiver and the toilets are relatively clean.

    Plenty of women in ATG, maybe just just have an eye for a lad with a beard?

    57 The Headline or ATG for me.
