The Templebar, The Old Store House & Oliver St John Gogarty’s best for live music. Beware the tourist trap. Although an iconic place with great pubs and music, you can pay up to 8 euros a pint. Doing rounds can hurt!

Our house is based in the heart of The Liberties. Although it is being gentrified, it hasn't lost the soul of old Dublin. Here, you are a few minutes walk from The Guinness Storehouse, the famous antique stores of Francis Street and a stones throw away from some of the best bars and cafes in Dublin.
