Recommend some good city centre pubs

Hi,

I've a friend coming over from Poland in a week's time who loves Irish pubs in Germany and Poland. Can you recommend some good Dublin pubs where we could go for a few days? A mixture of small and cosy with trad to slightly trendier spots. All around the city centre please. Thanks.

Take him to D'Olier street then go to the following;
Mulligans - Pool Beg Street
The Long Stone - Townshend Street
Doyles - College Green
Bowes - Fleet Street
The Palace - Fleet Street (may be traditional music upstairs)
The Morgan Hotel - Temple Bar (you say trendy I say mutton dressed up as lamb)
The Foggy Dew - Dame Street
Hogans - George Street
The Long Hall - George Street
The Stags Head - Dame Lane
The Bank Dame Street

Brogans on Dame St, it's a kip but it's a great kip. Good pint of Guinness.
If you go out Georges st direction and try Long Hall, the Swan, Whelans (might have music on) Ryans, An Seo, The Bleeding Horse, The Bernard Shaw (kinda trendy) O'Connells in Portabello and the Lower Deck. (Thanks fontanalis, I robbed your idea

)
If you go towards Parkgate street, you have Ryans and the others there, Ryans and the Dice bar on Queen street, then over to the Brazen Head, up to the Thomas House (cheap drink, mix of music) then down to Lord Edward, and the Bull and Castle for special offers and world beers.

The Swan, I was only in it once after I wan't allowed into Flannerys one saturday evening. Absolutley lovely bar inside.
Good bars above. McDevitts is a nice place too.
