Stinkiest pub in Ireland

    Inspired by all the smoking and smoking ban threads, I'm looking for nominations for the stinkiest pub in Ireland. Now that we know what they really smell like, which pub in your humble opinion has the worst whiff?

    Personally speaking, O'Neills on Suffolk St. Dublin, is top of my list. There was an awful whack out of it the last two times I was in. The smell was unidentified i.e. not toilet or body odour related!

    Any others to name and shame?

    Maybe not in this category but Midas nightclub in Ballyhaunis Co. Mayo is absolutely appaling. The smell is unreal.

    The Brogan's Pub that is next door to the Olympia.

    I haven't been there for a while, but it always used to smell like a sewer.

    Pravda used to smell like sh*t. Literally. And this was back before the smoking ban came in. I think it had something to do with having the smallest toilet in the world, to cater for a pretty big pub. If you sat downstairs anywhere near the bar you could smell the jacks.. And they stank!

    Haven't been in since the smoking ban. I've been told it doesn't smell anymore..

    i agree whelans stinks like sh1t but the amount of smoke in there (when you could smoke) was unbelievable.
    dont know what its like now but fibbers on parnell street was like a cockroach palace back in the day.
    Eamonn Dorans on the other hand has its own unique smell which is not natural but not particularly unpleasant.

    Worked here also, absolutely hated it- the smell, the customers.... place was/is a kip. It smelled really bad, it used to a cellar and they tried converting to a niteclub, but they never did it properly and it was disgracful!!

    Yuck... yuck... That place really is horrible and possibly has the worst clientele in Dublin. All the customers are completely mental.

    It's pretty cheap for booze though isn't it?

    Kehoes on south ann street is pretty rank...

    That is all got to do with the tide, the river and the position of the jacks under the water line. Now for you.
    All pubs stink now at the end of the night, espically if there is a rugby weekend or any excuse for lots of guinness to be had. The worst has got to be Buck Mulligans or indeed just inside the door of the Burlington on a rugby weekend. Hate to see the skid marks!!! :eek:

    Pravda wasnt that bad the last time I went in. Bobs in temple bar reeks, in the corridors and stairways leading to the toilets are really bad.
