Kip bars in Dublin or further a field.

Dont know about it being violent or a kip but if you want something straight out of the 1950's take a trip to O'Loughlin's (Loughies) in DunLaoghaire, you wont be disappointed, its a god damn timewarp, the ladies still sit in the snug and the mens toilet is a wall and drainpipe out the back of the pub.

Grogans:D

how about that pub down on the quays....Leonards, i think its called......its like stepping back to the 70s-80s.....a real dismal kip

Graces,Borrisokane,Co.Tipperary
Voted no.1 worst pub in Ireland a couple of years ago!!What a hometown feat!!

There's a place on pearse street. It's an oldstyle pub (no D4s or yuppies) but it's still a pretty nice place. It's clientele are a nice mix of oldies and the common-sensical trinity students (again,no D4s or yuppies ).

It's the kind of pub where you can order a pint of guinness, sit by the open fire and look at the vintage cigarette ads on the walls, and the crazy old crap in the display cases .

Kennedys??

The Furry Bog

Or maybe Finches in Neilstown

Ah good old finches, it was done up a few years back looks much better now. I go there the odd time to watch the football during the week ropey spot definately a no go for an outsider!

I used to Dj a few years back, mainly 21sts 40ths all that ****3 i've seen some kips in my time, the worst was definately The Cappagh House in Finglas, myself and my mate done our first gig there we were 16 at the time it was terryfying, it was kind of like the pub out of shameless.

That was closely followed by the Silken Thomas on francis street, a smelly little kip by all accounts!

To the OP, if you're looking for a kip of a pub with cheap gargle and good atmosphere look no further than Fibbers on Parnell street on a Thursday, 3 euro a drink all night long and good craic if you look past the general smelliness!!

edit:

Just remembered there another extremely kippy place, the chancery on the keys, one of a few early houses in Dublin, myself and a couple of friends went there last year the morning after good friday after an all nighter, it started off well and then reality hit! There's some characters to be found in there. I'd like to think i'll never go there again but somewhere deep down in my heart i crave another drink and drugged fuelled rampage in the chancery. My experience there was something similar to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Why would you even ask to DJ in there? You can tell from the outside just how bad it's gonna be. It's certainly one of the less classy pubs in Finglas

I hadn't got a choice, i was working for a Dj company at the time, it was myself and my mate so it wasn't too bad, i would never have gone there alone. We done a few gigs there actually, it was basically just us playing in the bar to the regulars it was a pretty funny set up because the room wasn't that big from what i remember and we were set up on a stage with all the tables and chairs facing us, it was kind of intimidating. They were so close to us they used to just shout up requests rather than come up and ask. They used to make us sort out the raffle too, that was also pretty bizzare.

Toast in Rathmines has gone through funny stages. 10 years ago it was knackerville, and slowly but surely they cleaned it up. It was great over the last year, and over last Christmas, minimum security and grief. Sadly since Tram Co has closed it's gone back to being a bit of a kip again due to the Tram Co overspill.

shame:(
