New, trendy bars for pub crawl

    Thinking I want to do some sort of a pub crawl one Saturday. Will be starting out earlyish and trying to hit a few spots. I have a route of sort planned with places I wanted to visit (starting off maybe at the Cobblestone and ending around O'Donoghues, with certain other places like McDaids and Kehoes all thrown in). The problem though comes from having some females in the group that are going to be doing it. They will be all perfectly happy for the most part but they wouldn't mind a more modern, stylish type of pub included in the night. The question then is what are the better and more modern type of pubs around that area. I'm ok with going to a few but I don't want to go to an empty pub just because it has a more modern and stylish look to it, it still needs to have an atmosphere.
    As a secondary question and add on to that, what would people's opinion be on a good cocktail bar, again around the area (and preferably one that won't break the bank).
    Cheers.

    Cobblestone, Boars Head ,Keoghs (Jervis street), Mercantile, o Neills (Suffolk street) the Bailey bar, Lemon and Duke, Ron Blacks or Cafe En Seine, Foley's, O Donohoes.

    That's the perfect route 3 newish trendy bars. And takes you on each street your crossing from Smithfield to Baggot street.

    You needn't worry about the trendy bars being empty. The bars are all jammed nowadays. The Chelsea Drugstore, Hogan's and The Market bar are all within a stone's throw of each other...Maybe Dylan McGrath's Fade Street Social as well.

    Chelsea Drug Store / Market Bar and the Bank are both relatively pretty close to each other.

    Savage thanks a million. You must have been to these places a few times, if you had to pick one of them to end in which of them would it be? As in would you start in the Cobblestone and end in O Donohoes or would you do it the other way around?

    I'm not a big fan of the cobblestone, if your starting over there I'd start in Oscars Cafe bar.

    Seconding the belfry in Stoneybatter.

    It’s a really cool spot.

    Also a brand new bar short walk away down Brunswick st called Bonobo. (Bottom of constitution hill) Brand new. Very cool. Huge beer garden and great pizza.

    Barbers in power grangegorman is lovely too. It can be mad quiet or really busy depending on the day. Great buzz when it’s busy, Worth a visit though. All three I mentioned are mere minutes walk from each other

    Hope you have a great time :)

    If it's a small enough group, Idlewild is a gem for cocktails, just beside Market Bar. It's quite tight inside but they have an interesting menu.

    Second Bonobo, deadly spot and will tick boxes for beer and for cocktails.

    The Hacienda if it's open just on Easy Arran St too. It's weird and has a nice novelty effect while never being too crowded or anything.

    The hacienda is thankfully a bit secret and underused.
    Imagine it became a tourist trap. Would ruin it.
