This pub has possibly the most intimidating exterior in Dublin and indisputably the most horrible interior (all flock wallpaper and smelly carpets). The owner doesn't help by only opening when he feels like it. But for some odd reason, it's a great little place, with a surprisingly funky clientele, often made up of Spanish and Italian students who live locally. Also, it's cheap.
Corner of Parnell Street and Marlborough Street
