Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: The Porterhouse Temple Bar | WeirdBeerGirl.com

They don't have German beer on tap any more. While The Porterhouse has been serving its own beer in Temple Bar since 1996, it used to highlight more overseas craft and traditional beers as well; or, at least, that is how it seems to stick in everyone's memory - 'everyone' here being the group I

Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: Piper’s Corner | WeirdBeerGirl.com

Piper's Corner is very much a trad bar, and while I end up there not so infrequently, I've oddly never been in when a session is on, despite being something of a folk music nerd. And while at some point I will have to remedy that, I enjoy the pub for a variety of other

Weirdo Guide to Dublin Pubs: The Big Romance | WeirdBeerGirl.com

This week, we're venturing over to Parnell Street to The Big Romance. This is our first visit to what I would class more as a 'beer bar' vs a 'pub' - whether traditional or otherwise - indeed, on their Instagram, The Big Romance describes itself as 'A vinyl bar with a Hatchett Soundsystem serving craft
