1 Fagan's Fagan's 146 Lower Drumcondra Road, Dublin 9 Dublin My local, five minutes from the house. Match days here are chaos in the best way. Bertie used to drink in this one, say no more. 2 John Kavanagh The Gravediggers John Kavanagh The Gravediggers 1 Prospect Square, Glasnevin, Dublin 9 Dublin Built into the cemetery wall and the pint knows it, dead serious business. Cash only, bring coins like a sensible man. 3 The Hut The Hut 159 Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7 Dublin Telly in every corner for the sport, stew on the sign outside. Good spot before a trip out to Parnell Park. 4 The Cobblestone The Cobblestone 77 King Street North, Smithfield, Dublin 7 Dublin No telly, no bother, just a fiddle going in the corner. Good for when you want a pint without a running commentary. 5 The Bohemian The Bohemian 66 Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7 Dublin Big crowd for the football, decent for the GAA too if you shout loud enough at the right screen. 6 The Back Page The Back Page 199 Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7 Dublin Wall to wall sport, pizza if you're starving after training. Does the job on a Sunday when Parnell Park's quiet. 7 Mulligan's Mulligan's 8 Poolbeg Street, Dublin 2 Dublin City centre classic, handy after a shift at the hotel. Pint takes its time and that's exactly the point. 8 The Palace Bar The Palace Bar 21 Fleet Street, Dublin 2 Dublin Old newspaper crowd used to drink here, now it's whoever's passing. Nice quiet corner for a flask-free Sunday pint.
