Houricans is a fine little boozer situated on Leeson Street in Dublin's
city centre. This pub is well laid out and it's 'traditional' wooden look makes you feel as if you are stepping back in time. The pints, excellently served by the friendly barstaff and tasting magnificent, are keenly priced compared to other pubs in the city centre. It is quite small and I imagine it could get packed at night, but on the Saturday afternoon I was there it was full of 'pub atmosphere' even though there were not many customers in the place. In a way, you could sense it was a real pub and is all the better for this. Recommended anytime of the week for a chat, as a meeting point, as a night out, actually, it's the sort of pub that can be whatever you want it to be.
A friend and I were fortunate enough to stumble upon this little gem the day we arrived in Dublin. We never looked back and consequently never missed a night at our favorite pub. The Guinness is proper and won't cost a fortune. The staff is absolutely fantastic and Patrick (the owner) is definately a class act. The only regret I have is that this pub is not closer to my home in Canada!!! Cheers.
