A day out on the southside for Open House Dublin yesterday turned in to a day of diving between bookshops and pubs due to the rain and the queues. We had won a place on the last ever day of tours of the existing Central Bank building - they start moving in 8 weeks and will be fully out in January.
We tried to get in to 9a Aungier Street but the queue ran down to the corner, and it was raining - so a trip in to JJs was made for some refreshments.
Downstairs is an auld lads bar that could have been dropped out of 1980. Reasonably priced, no background music and racing on the TVs at an acceptable volume - wouldn't hesitate to return. Upstairs has jazz and blues nights at various times.
I'm moving to a single post per pub format now - will edit out the older multi-pub posts at some point in the future - so there's going to be a number of extra posts now.
