O' Shea's Merchant

You'll find this traditional pub tucked away on Bridge Street Lower, where it's been serving pints to locals and tourists alike without any of the Temple Bar nonsense. The four-day opening schedule tells you everything - this is a place that knows its purpose and sticks to it. Thursday through Sunday, O'Shea's transforms from a morning breakfast spot into a proper Dublin pub that stays open until midnight on weekends. The early morning start on Friday through Sunday suggests they're serious about their breakfast game, while the late nights indicate they know how to pour a proper pint when the evening crowd rolls in.
