Devitt's Pub

You'll find yourself in one of Dublin's most genuine locals on Camden Street, where the craic flows as freely as the perfectly pulled pints. This is the kind of pub where regulars still prop up the bar on Tuesday afternoons and tourists blend seamlessly into the mix without anyone batting an eyelid. The dark wood interior and low lighting create that classic Dublin pub atmosphere you're after, whilst the staff actually know how to pour a proper Guinness. The traditional music sessions are the real draw here - proper musicians playing for the love of it rather than putting on a show for the cameras. Come Thursday through Saturday nights and you'll catch some brilliant trad, but even on quieter weeknights there's a warmth to this place that keeps locals coming back. It's everything a Dublin pub should be without trying too hard.
