Great Beer, Friendly, Wow! newly remodeled bathrooms!! 5 Star Rating - World class

I visit Clever Dunnes pretty regularly since it is just down the road! I love going there because the staff is so friendly to everyone who enters! The prices are outstanding and the music is great! The only thing that has put me off in the past has been the bathrooms there. Probably the worst on the hill. I was there yesterday and I could'nt believe my eyes! They have remodeled the bahrooms and they are much nicer. They even put new flooring in. Needless to say. I wo'nt be going home anymore for potty breaks!

Pros: Great prices, friendly service
Cons: parking

Good pinta Guinness, lousy bar staff 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

They pour a good Guinness, but the bar staff is rude, and slow. And there's way too many overdrunk dipsh*ts in the place most of the time. I'm all for having a good time, but this place has an abundance of "I remember when I had my first beer" types.

If you're 23 and looking for a place to yell for no particular reason, maybe this is the place for you. Not me.

Pros: Guinness
Cons: clueless barstaff

Great Selection of Beer 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

This bar has one of the best selections of beer in town. I don't know what everyone else is talking about food, because they don't serve it. No menus, and the bartender said they stopped. Which sucked, because I was looking forward to some great food. Definitely gets packed, and the bands they book are really good.

Best Bar, hands down 5 Star Rating - World class

This bar has it all. From true Guiness pints to drunken Irishmen. If you want to just go out and have a good time, this is the bar to do it at! No stuffy, pretentious attitudes here, just a bunch of beer lovin' socialites to share in your spotlight. Oh, and the food is pretty good, too.

Great pub, lousy DJs 4 Star Rating - Very good

I can't say enough good stuf about this pub, but the DJs on Saturday night are god-awful. If they want to have DJs, then by all means, have DJs - chill, smooth, GOOD DJs. Not kids with too much money for records and not nearly enough talent. I'm sure they're nice people, but if I wanted to hear train-wreck after train-wreck I'd hop an Amtrak and try my luck. Try another night and you're sure to like it, though.

Pros: Atmosphere, People
