McNeill’s Pub (Dublin)

A former music shop, McNeill’s pub is an oasis of locals in the chaos of Capel St. You cannot enter without conversation. You’ll be among a spate of Guinness drinkers. A strong pint. I barely have any notes. Really like the place.

A pint of Guinness stout with a creamy head sits on a green coaster on a dark table in a wood-paneled pub.
