Frank Ryan's pub
“If the pubs do happen to be be open, this is my favourite one in Dublin. Lovely Guinness, mad shit on the walls, snooker table, and the best band of aul lads play on Thursday nights. They have reignited my love of music so many times.”

All City Records
“The best record shop in town. Olan who runs it is one of the most important patrons of small labels and independent artists in Dublin and Soft Boy owe so much to his dedication to new music. Go downstairs and get a lovely haircut in Faction barbers too.”

The Workman's Club
“You'll have good nights, you'll have bad nights, but thank the Lord it's still here. Not a lot of small venues left in Dublin that can put on a great intimate gig or go to when the pubs close and you need one more drink.”
