including at number 10 a pub that doesn't serve lager!!

No Crown Liquor Saloon? Idiots. The Temple (aka The Temple of Convenience) was on my hitlist for Manchester last year but I never made it past the Marble Arch. Hooray for novelty pubs.

Having been to 2 of the 10 Id guess that they are picking location rather than ambience or beer! That said, unless you get a snug in the Crown its a decidedly ordinary drinnking experience <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

What would be on the Irish list? I would put something from Boffin Island.

In city centre Dublin what are great Irish pubs? B&C, porterhouse and messers would have to be on a shortlist. Long bar, stags head, Brazen head?
