The International
This bar is probably one of Dublin's best kept secrets. Upstairs is a long bar the length of the pub and they have live Blues on Saturday night. Downstairs is where the Rockers hang out – the jukebox is decent enough and the pints aren't as expensive as most other pubs in the area. A good meeting place or somewhere to "go for one" in between watering holes. Entry added/updated/verified: Feb. 2005
