John Benny's
A toasty cast iron woodstove, stone slab floor, memorabilia on the walls, great staff and no intrusive TV make this one of Dingle's most enjoyable traditional pubs. An influx of local musos pours in most nights for rockin' trad sessions. The bar menu, including creamy seafood chowder, is hands-down the best in town.

Roundy's
Ingeniously converted from a terrace house (with a tree still growing right through the courtyard garden-turned-interior), this funky little bar has hip iPod tunes, regular DJs spinning old school funk and live bands, plus free aperitivi-style finger food on the bar. Very cool.

Shop Pubs
A number of Dingle's pubs are mongrel affairs that still have vestiges of their lives as shops. Two untouched examples are Foxy John's and Curran's, which respectively have old stock of hardware and outdoor clothing lying about. Don't expect an exuberant welcome from the flinty-eyed locals.

Woulfe's Horseshoe Bar
The food (daily roasts, battered fish et al) is nothing to write home about, nor is the service. Still, this pub just off the Square is a cosy spot for a pint.

Courtney's
Inconspicuous on the outside, inside this timeless trad pub bursts at the seams with traditional music sessions many nights year-round. This is where locals come to see their old mates perform and to kick off a night on the town.

Escape the tourist mobs and muse over a pint in this small pub retaining a snug at the entrance.
