| G1 The Auld Dubliner, T.P. Smith |
| 17 Anglesea Street, Dublin 2. |
| Tel: 01-6770527 |
| The Auld Dublin is one of those rare pubs which, during the last few decades of ferocious change, had the courage to stay as it was - a traditional Dublin pub. As it is located in Temple Bar, it is an ideal spot to take a break from shopping, sightseeing or just strolling. The lunchtime fare includes homemade soup, excellent sandwiches and traditional Dublin coddle. Traditional musicians play in the Auld Dub in regular evening sessions. |

Café en Seine successfully combines the charm of the Dublin pub with the chic of the European café. The interior is stunning and the seating so comfortable it can be difficult to leave. Coffee and pastries are served all day and the carvery lunch is superb. An evening snack menu is available until 8pm and if you are in Dublin on a Sunday, the brunch is a must.

| G6 Johnny Fox's |
Tony & Geraldine McMahon
The Dublin Mountains, Glencullen, Co Dublin. |
| Tel: 01-2955647 | Fax: 01-2958911 |
In Glencullen, a stone's throw from Dublin city centre is Ireland's highest pub, Johnny Fox's. It is a place where sheep farmers and diplomats rub shoulders, where, in the words of its owners, there are no strangers, only friends who have not met. The difficulty with Johnny Fox's is deciding which is the greater attraction - its marvellous award winning
seafood or its nightly entertainment which includes ballads, dancing and the Riverdance.
Entertainment 7 nights a week |

As you walk along the southern side of Dame Street,
you will find on the pavement a mosaic of a stag's head, marking the entrance to an alleyway. At the other end of the alley, you will find one of Dublin's favourite pubs, the Stags Head. The lunch menu which includes that great Irish staple bacon and cabbage, is available from Monday to Saturday and a pre-theatre dinner menu is a good evening option. Oh! and the Guinness is gorgeous! |
