1000743 Castle Hotel / Waltons Hotel

The bar here is buried deep inside, and under, the hotel; in the actual vaulted structures holding the hotel up. A previous attempt to actually find it had been hampered by the hotel being full of Communion parties and screeching children - although I'm sure I would still have been served, it would have been an entirely suboptimal time to visit and review!

This is definitely one of the more interesting looking places to get a pint in Dublin - despite the hotel branding it as a restaurant, you can definitely pop in for drinks. There's also no phone signal of any description, so if you want to go for a pint where you are forced to talk to other humans - this is your place.

There's an abnormally high density of hotels and an absence of regular pubs in this area of the city. I've now been to most of them, and while the bar of the next to be written up was more sociable and accessible; this was more interesting.
