Pubs in
1. The Temple Bar
Probably the most well-known pub in Ireland and certainly a good picture-spot, one cannot go to Dublin without making a stop here.
2. The Brazen Head
The Brazen Head is officially Ireland's oldest pub, dating back to 1129 A.D. It is truly a sight to see and I'd like to imagine that it is just as homey and comforting as it was hundreds of years ago. I linked their website to the picture above if you would like to learn more information about this authentically Irish pub.
3. Bernard Shaw
This is a bizarre bar with countless rooms and it leads to a yard in the back with string lights above and a double-decker bus turned pizza parlor (closes around 1 or 2am on the weekends I believe). It's a unique experience but on the other side of town from the Temple bar and others so I would recommend going here first for pizza and drinks then making your way over to the other bars for the rest of the night.
11-12 South Richmond St, Dublin 2.
4. The PorterHouse (owned by temple bar)
Raise a toast in this cozy yet tastefully modern pub. The wooden decor is stunning and the choice of liquor is endless.

5. The Stags Head
It's historic, authentic, and a must-see in the magical city.
