    Or to put it differently, what pub has had the most unique Irish visitors?

    My guess... The Gresham, O'Connell St, Dublin

    I'd say the Great Southern Hotel in Galway.

    Very old hotel, used to be owned by the railway company and is mobbed every year for the Galway races.

    seans in athlone, been around since 900AD so it has about a 500-600 year headstart on the next oldest pub in the country

    I'm sick of hearing about that place, it's not even a decent pub! Oldest doesn't mean good.

    I'd say the Gresham has had some interesting visitors in its time alright.

    Langtons in kilkenny seems to be very popular but I think its crap!

    Probably one of the older places in Killarney. Plenty of tourist traffic passing through there.

    Or an Airport bar as someone else pointed out.

    Johnny Foxes? The Temple Bar?

    Somewhere very touristy.

    Probably. I'd imagine the Red Cow would be way up the list as well.

    Those pubs are probably your best bet for unique Irish visitors. As there always packed on match days and you get loads of people from different counties going there, plus most of them have been there for years.

    For most unique visitors probably somewhere around temple bar.

    hmm, in terms of turnover, i know that bout 7 years ago when i started college, that the UCD and UL bars were the busiest.i think now tho that has changed. as regards most people, surely its a pub in dublin.

    tho not a pub, coppers is one of the most famous, if not the most famous nightclub in ireland and im sure has the biggest turnover. but honestly i dont know.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    AFAIK Coppers is the most successful niteclub in Dublin.

    As for most traffic... difficult one. If we're talking about "in the history of Ireland" it's gotta be one of the old touristy bars, like "The Brazen Head".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 393 ✭✭Kelter


    Well I wasn't really thinking about for tourist, cos I think the Store house would be untouchable for that.

    As for Dublin Airport, I agree that it may be the winner...

    Definately not coppers. Its always busy, but with repeat business (as one of their patrons... I should know!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭earlyevening


    Yay. My suggestion wins. What do I get?? Free night out boozing at the airport?

    What about that one at Blarney Castle. Isn't that the ouldest? Durty Nellys is it?
