Falling on the right side of cool (as opposed to 'too cool'), this is a lively, young - but not alienating - watering hole. It's like an old-fashioned Dublin bar run by hipsters and generally has good DJs, with music ranging from catchy hip hop to floor-fillers and a dash of indie. The flea market on Saturdays is good fun too, and if you're lucky you might see a former Irish reality TV star selling their old clothes (as we once did).
