Fodor's Expert Review Tom Collin's Bar

Tom Collin's Bar has managed to retain all of its authentic Victorian charm, which you'll see from its bright red-and-white timber facade or its arched doorway with tiny lion medallions and white metal fanlight. It paves the way for the old shopfront character inside, where it's as though a clock stopped ticking sometime in the distant past on the wall behind the ruby shades and mahogany finish of the bar counter. Service is second to none and the Guinness is legendary in this quiet premises, just a stone's throw from busy O'Connell Street.
