Pubs
The pub - or indeed anywhere people gather to have a drink and a chat - remains the
heart of the city's social existence and the broadest window through which you can exper-
ience the very essence of the city's culture, in all its myriad forms. There are pubs for
every taste and sensibility, although the traditional haunts populated by flat-capped pen-
sioners bursting with insightful anecdotes are about as rare as hen's teeth and most Dub-
liners opt for their favourite among a wide selection of trendy bars, designer boozers and
hipster locales. But despair not, for it is not the spit or sawdust that makes a great Dublin
pub but the patrons themselves, who provide a reassuring guarantee that Dublin's reputa-
tion as the pub capital of the world remains in perfectly safe (if occasionally unsteady!)
hands.
