As far as I know, there's only two pubs in Dublin where you need to be buzzed in - this and 1004033 Vintage Cocktail Club in Temple Bar. The doors remain closed here and it can be quite hard to tell if it is actually open or not - and it was actually closed for a few weeks recently for filming.
There's a large black and white CCTV monitor beside the bar, from where the staff can decide if you are going to be let in or not - or come out to you if you're standing outside wondering if its actually open before pressing the buzzer, as happened to us.
The pub has an - accurate - reputation as somewhere you may run in to a celebrity or two; but it manages this without being like Lillies in the Tiger era. Its not expensive by any definition, for starters. You may have to run in to a political birthday party, or whoever else famous is passing through - Jack Gleeson being the most recent mentioned on their Facebook.
The walls of the bar are covered in photos of the owner with these various celebs; which could make for a way to pass the time if you were somehow in here and bored. That's not likely to be the case, as the bar is likely to be quite busy - and there's small sized pool tables anyway
