Discover McDaids, the stained-glass Dublin pub once favoured by Brendan Behan. Sink into the dark wood interior and enjoy a carefully poured pint beneath its high ceilings.
Full description
McDaids is a traditional Dublin pub remembered as an old haunt of Brendan Behan, and it keeps its stained glass and dark wood interior. Reviewers highlight the high ceilings, old photographs on the walls and a cosy, historic atmosphere, along with well-poured Guinness and friendly bar staff.
It suits an unhurried drink in the afternoon or evening and fits easily into a day of sightseeing in the centre. The mix of literary associations and genuine pub character gives it more depth than a standard stop for a pint.
