Patrick Conways Pub

Dublin (Ireland) – Merely 20 yards off O'Connell Street, Dublin’s main thoroughfare stands Patrick Conways Pub - one of the great surviving Victorian Pubs in the Irish capital. Conways, first licensed in 1745, ranks as the oldest bar in the city. Conway's heritage is rich in that it is the childhood pal of the Rotunda Hospital. It is the long established waiting room of the hospital. Another great traditional link is with the GAA and its main venue, Croke Park, just five minutes away from the pub.

 

The pub has a traditional interior, maybe a bit tatty in places, but there's nothing tatty about the pint, says my husband Frans. Sit at the bar and watch the people because you'll see all sorts in here from politicians to shoppers to students. I consider Conway's as a good pub in the centre of town without town prices or crowds.
