DIY Pub Crawl in Dublin, Ireland

• The Temple Bar Pub: The most famous pub in Dublin. It takes its name from the surrounding area — the Temple Bar neighborhood — and features the largest collection of whiskies in Ireland. Stop by for traditional Irish music every day.

• 37 Dawson Street: a dark and sumptuous whiskey bar boasting an extensive cocktail list and 37 Irish whiskies served in crystal glasses.

• Mulligan’s Pub: Bookish travelers will want to pay a visit to this classic spot that James Joyce once frequented. An excellent spot for a pint of Guinness and chatting with the bartenders.

• Neary’s: A classic Victorian pub that is ultra cozy and perfect for any occasion, whether you’re stopping by for a hot meal and some reading time on a chilly day or a night of live music. Check out the iconic cast iron arm lamps out front.

• The Gravediggers: This Dublin institution is outside the city center but still accessible to all who wish to visit. Situated next to a cemetery, gravediggers used to drop in for a pint after a long day’s work. You won’t find any music or TV in this ultra-traditional pub.

• The Ginger Man: Popular with students from nearby Trinity College, this is the place to be for kitschy Christmas decor in the winter.

• The Living Room: A can’t-miss location for any and all sporting events with over 50 screens throughout the bar, including a massive TV in the beer garden.

This pub is loaded with treats and special amenities for dogs, including their own special “beer.” Kennels are built into some of the booths for when your pup needs a nap. Make sure to have an employee snap a pic before you leave - they have over 400 photos hung on their iconic Doggy Wall!
