Kick back at this incredible Dawson Street setting. The ground floor bar is always packed, but upstairs there's a lot more space - and yummy grub, too.
5. Xico
Located in the heart of Baggot Street, Xico has the perfect combination of great drinks, great food and great music going long into the night.

A lovely little spot on Parliament Street away from the hustle and bustle. The Oak has a perfect atmosphere for getting the chats going and sussing out if they really are the one for you.
7. Dawson Lounge
Commonly known as Dublin's tiniest pub, it doesn't get more cosy than this Dawson Street spot.
With its narrow front door you'd almost miss it as you walk past.

Located right by Christchurch Cathedral, this spacious spot provides plenty of room to cosy up while enjoying some great food and drinks.

Hidden away down Fitzwilliam Lane off Baggot Street, McGrattans has a very 'local pub in town' vibe.
Pics of celebs who have visited adorn the walls while the pool table provides opportunity for some friendly competition to break the ice.
10. Dakota
One of the prime locations of the Dublin nighttime scene.
The lighting is always flattering for everyone involved, and you can break out the dance moves late into the night.
11. Sin É
Off the beaten track and there's always great music downstairs. A classic Dublin pub atmosphere with a difference.
12. Grogans
After sampling the Guinness and the toasties together at this popular South William Street pub you might as well start planning your wedding. Visit on a Saturday afternoon and you won't notice the hours passing by.
