Now this is an old Irish pub. Small and narrow, O'Donoghue's is famous the world over. Popular with both tourists and locals, this could be called a typical Irish pub. A spit-on-the-floor type place. This is the pub where the Dubliners folk group first started many years ago. And you'll still get the odd musical session going on. They've recently added a back bar which is nice and pleasant and totally different from the main bar.

Buzz		Nearly always busy. If it's not tourists, it's the office crowd. Fills up very quickly and don't expect to be sitting down. A bit of music from a session in the corner should be available.
Decor		Definitely authentic. This place is an original unlike many of the more modern 'Irish' pub. Has a fine collection of currency notes from practically every country in the world.
Scoring		If it's a foreigner you're after then you might get lucky. Not impossible.
Babes + Hunks		See above.
Beer Standards		One of the best pints in the city.
And the toilets?		One of the worst in the city. BUT. Their new back bar has very nice NEW toilets upstairs.
Overall		A unique example of an old Irish pub. A Dublin institution. Go there and enjoy it.
