  The name might give it away, its a tiny pub! But a great place to nip into for a few quite ones and one of the nicest pints of Guinness I've had!

  We stayed at an AIR BNB next to this pub. This place made our entire trip. Staff was incredibly friendly. Patrons we're a hoot. Live music made us feelsy. I'll never forget this place and out awesome Dublin trip. Definitely check this place out for a more Dublin vibe of what a pub is like. Sure. Temple bar area is fun, but a place like this is a true memory.

  Great little pub and the Best pint of guiness in Dublin. You can also catch some great ballads here over the weekends. Highly recommended if you want a feel for a traditional Irish pub.

  Lovely little place with great Guinness. Lives up to the Irish proverb of there are no strangers here only friends you are yet to meet. Easy place to talk to people.

  Next up was the Confession Box, a pub that the brother recommended, and is considered one of the best pubs in the Northside. A lovely looking frontage, while inside it had a pretty decent early afternoon crowd in, a bit packed in a smallish intimate bar, I guess that’s why they call it the confession box, that and also cause its not too far from St. Mary’s Pro- Cathedral! Horse racing on, boisterous enough crowd, pints a flowing, doing some good trade. Apparently it was Irish revolutionary, Micheal Collins, favourite watering hole. And this also ties in with the name, as many of Collins men during the War of Independence would receive confession here from the priests of “The Pro”, after some of their heroic deeds in the fight for independence, but I do wonder was Collins much of a drinker. I am a drinker and so ordered a Smithwicks, but I probably should have ordered a Guinness as I read later they do one of the best pints in Dublin, but truth be told I wasn’t in the mood for the black stuff on the day. Established in 1795, as it says on one of its doors, it is an old pub with a variety of different names and owners since then. The bar is quite tiny, and we were lucky we got seats, but there is an upstairs as well. There is a great deal of memorabilia and old photos adorning the walls of the pub featuring a lot from the 1916 Rising, the War of Independence, and Dublin in the rare old times, amongst other stuff. They do sell T Shirts and key rings, which to be honest is a little naff and don’t look worth getting, I mean its an ordinary pub at the end of the day, not Disneyland! I liked this bar, was small and comfy. The pub had a nice mix of locals and tourists, and I am sure if we had stayed longer we would have got into conversation with some of its clientele. The service was fine, and the pint good. Will be back for sure and hopefully next time will try to catch some of the live music that they are renowned for putting on, all for my sins!
