Mc Daids is one of Dublins pubs that regularly features on the 'Top 10' Traditional Pubs in Dublin.
We chose to go here after viewing the statue of Phil Lynott, which is opposite this pub. We'd just been to the Green Gallery in the Stephen Green Shopping centre, where there was a sketch of Philo posing outside McDaids.
McDaids was established in 1779, previously it was sited at another nearby location on Chatham Street.
This present building was previously one of Dublins morgues (it was also a one time Moravian Chapel)
Our visit was on a Saturday lunchtime, and surprisingly, it wasn't too busy. We took a stool at the bar and waited for our Guinness to be poured. There is a selection of bitters and lagers too - Kilkenny, Smithwicks, Heineken, Carlsburg, Becks and Stella Artois, as well as wines and spirits - (there looked to be a good selection of Irish (and Scottish) Whisky/Whiskey) as well as soft drinks/tea and coffee.

to be continued....


Dress Code: Casual attire, but No stag Party gear! we witnessed one such group dressed casually, but 'the stag' was dressed as a leprechaun - No way was the bar tender allowing them in!
