Viva
South William Street
One of the rash of new (i.e. trendy) pubs that have appeared over the past 12 months. It's a nice enough spot and is handy for a few drinks with friends or for a date.

  RATING COMMENTS
Buzz three beers Another lively spot that because of its location a bit off the beaten track in the Irish rag trade district. Is a bit on the small side though so it can get busy fairly quick.
Decor four beers That old style wooden pub is well gone at this stage, it seems. Lots of chrome, modern lights. You know the modern cafe look. Hang on, it's still a pub though. Has a nice upstairs balcony.
Scoring two beers Times have changed in Dublin pubs. Scoring (with a few exceptions) doesn't really happen anymore (or maybe I'm getting old).
Babes + Hunks four beers Certainly attracting some good lookers but maybe that's because it's in the fashion district.
Beer Standards four beers Increasingly, more pubs are introducing foreign beers. Erdinger, Warsteiner from Germany, Budvar from the Czech Republic are examples. One thing struck me in here is that very very few people were drinking stout or even pints.
And the toilets? four beers Nice, new and clean. Hurrah!
Overall four beers On the edge of the latest pubs and probably gets its regulars. Nice spot for meeting friends or for drinks before a dinner/show. Good for meeting dates too.
