The Palace Bar was established in 1823 and is a beautiful bar inside and out. Worth a stop if you are in Dublin. Check out their website for more info: http://www.thepalacebardublin.com/#home/

The Porterhouse Brewing Co. is a brewpub located in the Temple area of Dublin. This was the only brewery I could find in Dublin (besides Guinness of course). The bar opened in 1989 as a craft beer bar importing various beers from around the world and then they became Ireland’s first brewpub in 1996. According […]
Grogan’s Castle Lounge was recommended by a bartender we met at The Green Hen. They had lots of taps which was nice. We stopped and had a couple pints before moving on to our next stop. We did have a great Italian dinner at La Cucina restaurant on the same street. Stop into Grogan’s […]
The Green Hen Restaurant became our favorite pub in Dublin. We made two stops during our 5 day visit to Dublin. The staff were very friendly and the space is beautiful (and not as busy as some of the other “popular” Dublin pubs). We did not eat here but their food also looked […]
We did a day trip from Dublin to the Cliff’s of Moher which also included a couple hours in Galway. We were starving so we went to The Kings Head for some spectacular seafood. I would have to say it was probably our best meal in Ireland. The seafood was great and the oysters […]
The Dirty Onion is a pub with a nice outside bar (and inside bar). The Yardbird is upstairs and is their BBQ restaurant. We had dinner there and is kind of strange for us to go to a BBQ restaurant in Ireland (usually would go for local food) but we had great ribs and wings. […]
Babel is another great rooftop bar in Belfast, Ireland. We just stopped for a pint before heading to dinner but the weather was great and it was very popular on a Saturday night. I was playing with my camera photo options so have a watercolor and a few B&W’s. Put it on your pub crawl […]
The Perch rooftop lounge is not too far from The Crown (another popular pub in Belfast). The Perch is a great outdoor space which was nice because when we were there in June 2018, the temps were over 80F. Great to be outside and The Perch was definitely a popular place. Check out their Facebook […]
Deacon Brodies Tavern is located on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland and was one of the first pubs we visited in Edinburgh. The tavern is more about the story of Deacon Brodie who was a locksmith by day and used his daytime trade to be a burglar at night to pay for his gambling […]
We stopped at the Kings Arms in Grantham for a couple pints when we visited in June 2018. They have a small seating area at the alley entrance (where the red chairs are shown and the nice dog). Reasonable drink prices and represents a nice traditional English pub. Check out their Facebook page for […]
