Pubs & Clubs
Kavanagh's (aka Gravediggers)
Said to be haunted, perhaps that because it is close to the Glasnevin cemetery. It remains in its original condition when it was built 100 years ago, no fancy restoration jobs here, not even the toilets. A real traditional pub with lots of stories to prove it. About 10 minutes on bus from the city centre. Go at night, if you dare! Children only allowed before 7pm
Bus: 19/19A/13 from O'Connell Street, or Taxi

Mulligans
Two minutes from the main thoroughfare is Mulligans, some 300 years old and still pulling great pints of Guinness. Legal since 1782, it is one of Ireland's oldest. Some very famous faces have graced the bar stools of this pub. A great place to catch up on the sport, or just hang up with the locals

Temple Bar district
This is the 'old city' of Dublin. It is full of nightlife - can be full a little rowdy - but is is a great place to visit as each alley is full of authentic pubs and restaurants.
Wonder along the cobblestone streets and pick a pub or two and settled down for an evening of Irish hospitality.
The Hughes Bar
A traditional pub, with good prices for drinks and basic pub food. Most evening there is famous Irish music being played. It is an early opener so lots of locals head here and might still be there in the evening.
Chancery Street, Dublin 7 t: 1 872-6540
O'Donoghues
Home to the famous band 'The Dubliners'. the pub dates back to 1789 and each evening its bars are full. The favourite meeting place of the rugby players after a game, thee is of course a screen for major TV events. There is also very basic accommodation, but I don't image you would get too much sleep.

Beer, women and wine and a little Irish dancing
Dinner and show with Dublin's acclaimed balladeers, The Merry Ploughboys have been entertaining the crowds for over 20 years. It is a little on the outskirts of Dublin so you need a car or taxi. The pub dates back to 1780. A night of merriment no doubt.
