Three Dublin Pubs Amongst Best Bars in Ireland According to Lonely Planet

There are over 7000 pubs in Ireland and Lonely Planet have come up with their list of the top 20, which includes 3 from the capital.

Lonely Planet has become the go to guide for tourists all over the world. They offer a comprehensive guide on everything from where to visit, what to see, what to eat and where to drink. It’s no surprise then that they have come up with a list of Irelands best pubs. I am not sure what criteria they were judged on but I would guess the price of a pint in most Dublin bars disqualified them immediately. But despite our overinflated drink prices, three of Dublin’s top public houses still managed to make the list.

The Gravediggers, Glasnevin

Once frequented by gravediggers after their long shifts at Glasnevin Cemetery, this establishment, which has been run by the Kavanagh family for seven generations, has now become famous for great pints and Irish tapas. To add to the traditional feel there are no TV’s, which encourages the conversation to flow and plenty of debates to be had.

 

Street 66, Temple Bar

If you walk around Temple Bar, you’ll stumble across this LGBTQ+ bar which promises a welcoming, safe and friendly atmosphere. The influence of reggae, blues, soul, ska and funk music can be felt everywhere throughout this pub with its unique décor and the art adorning the walls. You can even bring your K9 companions with you, it’s a dog friendly bar.

 

The Cobblestone, Smithfield

A self-professed “drinking pub with a music problem”. If you have any interest in trad music then this is the place for you. This pub has become a real cultural landmark in Dublin, as proven by the campaign to save it from developers in 2021.
