But where oh where can you find such a haven? Where can you escape the noisy, chair-stealing crowds in this busy city?

One of these spots should suffice.

This trendy spot is very open and airy with high ceilings and plenty of seating. It's a great spot for large groups as their seating is mostly around large tables.

They serve fab tapas too!

Don't let this bar's central location fool you – it's often overlooked as a good spot for a cheeky pint.

If you're looking for an 'old man' pub, then you've come to the right place.

Perfect for a lonely pint.

4. The Odeon, Harcourt Street

If you're feeling a little hedonistic then The Odeon is your bar.

This is another traditional Irish pub, but with probably the coolest fireplace you've ever seen.

It's one of the few pubs left in the city with an open fire, which is exactly what you might need as these evenings get chillier.
