N1898 Caulfields Hotel

This pub is an oddly shaped bar on the ground floor of one of the few 1-star hotels in Dublin, however it is important to note that Irish star ratings are on hotel and room features, not perceived quality! Also, my experience of some of the other 1-star hotels bars have been superior to some of the 4- and 5- star properties anyway.

The bar itself has a seating area inside the front windows overlooking Dorset Street, a small spine with tables down the side of the building and a bar with some seats and a tiny outdoor smoking area at the back. Everything is in decent condition and clean; and the prices are quite low for somewhere so central. Signage indicates this is also a restaurant however I didn't see any menus or anyone eating.
