This hostel is unique in that it has its own very popular pub and restaurant - and all within the heart of Temple Bar. The pub stays open until 02:30 from Mon-Sat and 01:30 on Sundays. The flagstone-floored pub was first opened in 1838, and downstairs there's a life-sized bronze statue of Gogarty - a physician, writer, footballer and wit of some renown. With traditional Irish music sessions every evening, a great night's craic is guaranteed for all you party loving backpackers. Self-catering accommodation is also available in the same complex which doesn't have parking, but does offer discounted rates. Breakfast is included.
