Probably The Roost in Maynooth. Massive pub and loads of room so never too packed even when it is packed but more for the memories (or lack of) in college more than anything else, good times.

Some of the bar staff are not so nice though...

Also big shout out to Costigans in Cork city, Messrs Maguire in Dublin city and Gibneys in Malahide.

Yeah don't think any of them are going to win Bartender of the year in there alright :pac: Great pub all the same though, I miss it

I quite liked the Rusty Nail in Donegal.

I suppose your favourite pub is a very subjective thing as it will depend largely on the good times you may have had there.

Nostalgia I unerstand, but you have to be joking! The Roost isn't even my favourite pub in Maynooth, never mind Ireland! Staff are pr*cks!
Franciscan Well in Cork City, especially in the summer sitting out in the beer garden.
Spailpin Fanach in Cork City.
Foggy Dew in Dublin
Nancy's ,Ardara in Donegal, it's basically like sitting in somebody's front room, mainly because you are!

I know they are but like I said, nostalgia more than anything and it's huge, always a good thing, nothing worse for me than an overcrowded pub.

Also with you on the Franciscan Well....haven't been there in years, must pay a visit next time I'm home.

The Best Pubs

Abbey Tavern (County Dublin): A short distance from Dublin center, the Abbey Tavern is the perfect place to recover and refuel after spending a day exploring Dublin. The Abbey is known far and wide for its ballads as well as its brew.
Brazen Head (County Dublin): Nearly qualifying as one of Ireland's ancient sites, the Brazen Head, commissioned by Charles II, is more than 300 years old, but its stout is as fresh as it comes. Among its illustrious alumni are Wolfe Tone, Daniel O'Connell, and Robert Emmet, who planned the Dublin rising of 1803 under the Head's low timbers.
The Long Valley (County Cork): For anyone who knows and loves Cork, this is a place of pilgrimage. There's one endless, low-slung room with a bar running its full length, doors taken from an ocean liner, barmen in white butchers' coats, and a selection of delectable sandwiches. It's a slice of heaven.
McGann's (County Clare): Doolin, a dot of a town on the Clare Coast, is a magnet for traditional Irish musicians -- and a wonderful spot to hear impromptu sessions of Irish music. Gus O'Connor's, down the road, is more famous (but also thicker with tourists); McGann's remains the genuine article without the hype.
Moran's Oyster Cottage (County Galway): Famed for its seafood, this centuries-old thatched-cottage pub on the weir also draws a perfect pint. This may well be the oyster capital of Ireland. It's 19km (12 miles) out of Galway and well worth the drive -- or the walk, for that matter.
Smuggler's Creek (County Donegal): This place is worth a stop if only for its spectacular cliff-top views of Donegal Bay. Stone walls, beamed ceilings, open fires, excellent fare, and the brew that's true are among the charms that proprietor Conor Britton has on tap.
Crown Liquor Saloon (County Antrim): This National Trust pub, across from the Grand Opera House in Belfast, is a Victorian gem. Your mouth will drop open at its antique publican splendor even before you lift your first pint.

Really? Since when? If it's on the street maybe I know that tables have to be in after a certain time but if its behind the pub and on land owned by the pub there shouldn't be a problem. Do you have any info/links?
Also good news on the early house front

Aw right i know what you mean. It's mad like I remember when i was in darmstadt, Germany all the places would have seas outside and you could sit there all night. Even when the places closed they just left the chairs outside and they weren't even tied down.

Stephen90 · 25-06-2008 02:38AM

Going on pubs I've drank in, not just been in, cos it takes a pint, a bit of banter and a good long sit down to experience a pub for what it is.

At home here in Wexford: The Sky & the Ground (Erdinger on tap mmmm) with Kelly's on the Corner (best pint of Guinness in the county) coming a close second.

In Dublin where I study: Bruxcelles (sp?) on Grafton St. or again Fibber McGees a close second.

The Carpenter in D15 for a few quiet pints of the black stuff with the boys on a Friday night.

Myos in Castleknock for drunken Christmas Eve shenanigans.

Honourable mention to my college watering hole - The Headline in D8. Good times were had.
