December’s pub was Nancy Hands located in Dublin City next to the grand Phoenix Park and a short stroll from the Guinness Storehouse, the Jameson Distillery, and the National Museum at Collin’s Barracks. This long established, authentic Dublin pub offers the real Irish drinking and dining experience. Upon arrival, the first thing you will notice is the authentic Victorian bar, an original staircase from Trinity College (trodden by Michael Caine in the film Educating Rita), and a collection of rare “Guinntiques” describing a lifetime of Guinness advertising.

Nancy Hands is the place to be if you want to experience a traditional Irish dinner – complete with storytelling, music, dancing, and even breadmaking and Irish coffee demonstrations. Dinner specials including beef and Guinness pie and the hearty seafood chowder cannot be missed. Wash it all down with a few pints of Guinness and you’ll be well on your way to the perfect evening in Dublin.
