Coming in at #8 is the Bernard Shaw Pub in Dublin, recommended by Ciarán Walsh, editor of LeCool.com Dublin
‘From the outside, it looks like the adjacent buildings to the Bernard Shaw fell down because they simply couldn’t compete with the fun that was happening inside. Ramshackle on the outside, cosy on the inside, this 113-year-old boozer is one of the last secret ale houses in Dublin. The crowd is creative without being obnoxious and there is a focus on live music but, depending on what day you enter, there could be a car boot sale in the beer garden, a film exhibition down stairs or a badge-making class.’
You’ll find the Bernard Shaw Pub at 11-12 Sth. Richmond Street, Portobello, Dublin. Tel: +353 (0)1 857128342
