Haven't been in half of them myself. Cleere's in Kilkenny gets a mention, unsurprisingly. It's next door to O'Hara's tied house.
The Hatch in Celbridge closed cos it's a dump!
I used to work as a barman in Downe's. Unique spot.
Kenny's in Lucan is a nice spot but the beer choice is poor. Caulfields across the street is much nicer if equally as poor beer-wise.

Been in just a few myself. The Hi-B is a funny place alright, actually did see the owner ask someone to go outside if they were taking a call and he came up to my brother and said thanks to him after he went outside to make a call. Have also heard the owner keeps a tea towel behind the bar to cover a girl's legs if she's got too short a skirt on. Mental place.  Has Fran Well stuff on tap too which surprised me.

The Lord Edward is a dump though, would never recommend it to people.

I like the Lord Edward 

Matt Molloys is the real dump on that list. Or is it porterhouse next door I'mt hinking of?

They don't even mention little Marys down in Roscommon, she's probably dead now. Was a gas place, fitted about 8 people and you didn't want to hit the walls on the way to the jacks or you'd end up covered in whitewash.

I saw him scold someone before for putting coal on the fire without permission, and he actually got the tongs, and took the coal back out of the fire. He also used to flash a personalised card that had his name on it, and the phrase "A talent to abuse". I definitely don't believe the thing about the tea towel, as he used to have a right eye for the ladies, and once followed me and my female flatmates to another pub, while trying to get me out of the picture. Haven't been there in years now though.

To be fair I was only in it once, but there were people (kids really) passed out everywhere lying on the floor. You had to step over people to get to the bar or toilet. Sick everywhere. Disgusting
