Mrs O'Leary's Dubliner

Don't come here if you're looking for a higher-classed, elaborately-decorated, hipster-esque establishment with fancy, expensive drinks that so many bars on Western have defaulted to. But if you want a chill beer with friends in an authentic neighborhood pub, The Dubliner is a good choice.

Although they are known for having lots of under-agers (I've left before because I've seen HIGH SCHOOL kids I knew in there), it's still a good place to go to talk, relax, or catch a game.

Plus, they celebrate Irish New Years! I didn't know any bars did that until recently and I had a blast celebrating here. Bonus points for sure.

I'm none too enamored of any of the bars along this stretch of Western, but I'm alright with the Dubliner.  They've put a little more into their appearance, and it shows.  

My only visit came on a Saturday afternoon during a Western avenue pub crawl, and while Saturday afternoon is a great time to drink, it's not necessarily the best time to get a good handle on a bar.  I'd come back here, though.  Nice bartenders, good decor, and Guinness.  Good enough for me.

This is one of my favorite Western bars. It is dumpy but that's why I like it. I always have fun here. Prices are average for the neighborhood and the staff is always friendly. Definitely a place to stop in.
