Perhaps surprisingly little-known, Bennigans Bar and Jazz Club is itself owned by a musician. Some shows (especially those on Saturday nights) are very popular and require pre-booking. Bennigans is also one of the select few places serving complimentary tapas along with drinks.

Peadar O’Donnell’s

Peadar O’Donnell’s

Popular with backpackers, Peadar O’Donnell’s provides good old fashioned “craic” and live music every night (although shows often start late, and sometimes give way to live broadcasts of football matches). It's a proper traditional Irish bar serving beer at affordable prices.

This comfortable Victorian-style venue is a popular local meeting spot and the ideal place to collapse into after a long day. The pub is family-friendly, and offers a varied menu of European, Chinese, Mexican, and Indian dishes. Try the steak and Guinness pie.

Sandino’s

The Metro

The Metro

This is one of the city’s liveliest and most atmospheric bars. With cheap drinks, great pub food and a DJ most nights (live music shows sometimes), it is definitely a good place for a pint or two. Come on Monday night and enjoy special deals on cocktails.
