Facilities manager by trade, so I notice the state of the jacks before anyone else does. These are the places I actually drink, not ones picked for show. Northside heavy, obviously, same as the Dubs panel. No notions about Temple Bar here.

1Fagan'sFagan's146 Lower Drumcondra Road, Dublin 9DublinMy 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.
2John Kavanagh The GravediggersJohn Kavanagh The Gravediggers1 Prospect Square, Glasnevin, Dublin 9DublinBuilt into the cemetery wall and the pint knows it, dead serious business. Cash only, bring coins like a sensible man.
3The HutThe Hut159 Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7DublinTelly in every corner for the sport, stew on the sign outside. Good spot before a trip out to Parnell Park.
4The CobblestoneThe Cobblestone77 King Street North, Smithfield, Dublin 7DublinNo telly, no bother, just a fiddle going in the corner. Good for when you want a pint without a running commentary.
5The BohemianThe Bohemian66 Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7DublinBig crowd for the football, decent for the GAA too if you shout loud enough at the right screen.
6The Back PageThe Back Page199 Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7DublinWall to wall sport, pizza if you're starving after training. Does the job on a Sunday when Parnell Park's quiet.
7Mulligan'sMulligan's8 Poolbeg Street, Dublin 2DublinCity centre classic, handy after a shift at the hotel. Pint takes its time and that's exactly the point.
8The Palace BarThe Palace Bar21 Fleet Street, Dublin 2DublinOld newspaper crowd used to drink here, now it's whoever's passing. Nice quiet corner for a flask-free Sunday pint.
