Ireland's Best Pubs
 

We will be travelling to Ireland and are staying in Dublin, Cork, Kilkenny, Kilarney and Shannon. What are your favorite bars in these cities? Are they touristy, traditional, dive bars?

Come on! Help a man out!

Cork - the Bodhran

Dublin - my favorite was a brew pub, but i don't recall the name....

Never stayed in Shannon, Kilkenny - and only drove through Killarney national park....

Cruise's (in Ennis, not Shannon)
O'Riain's in Killarney -- second choice, The Failte Hotel and Bar. Danny Mann's is quite popular and the Granary was reknown ed as a music venue.

Kyteler's Inn in Kilkenney.

Many spots in Temple Bar area of Dublin -- one even named Temple Bar (had good music when I was there).

Too bad you are missing Galway -- you might like the Quays.

I'm trying to get to Galway, but a Volvo Boat Race stopped us from being able to stay there.
