O’Sullivan’s pub
Heidi | May 29, 2006Yesterday, one of my friends phoned me on her way home from the Porterhouse after dinner and a couple pints. She happened to stop by O’Sullivan’s Pub on Westmorland Street (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and wandered in at the sound of live music. Since John had wanted to go back to the Porterhouse, we were up for some live music in a pub. And this was a pleseant surprise. The musician was pretty good (guy with a guitar) and it was more of a group sing event. He took requests and then asked the audiance to participate. The musician is there every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday! The music was in the front part of the pub which is pretty small.
This pub is more of what I think of as an Irish Pub. It was dark. It was small. The stools were unsteady. The locals were friendly. And there were regulars who knew the bartender’s names and vice versa. There was also an old guy who had his picture behind the bar and a seat saved for him!
I thought that this was a small little pub until I went to the toilet. There was a huge pub behind it the doors leading to the toilets. It has a huge TV which was broadcasting wrestling. It also has a pool table. The chairs are comfy ones and the back part is a little better lit and quieter. It was a place that you could go and have your pint and have deep conversation. Well, as deep as you can have while you’re drinking pint after pint…
Me and friends (from northern Norway) went to Dublin in March. Ended up at O Sulllivans three nights out of four. We loved the place. Got to know some great people there…I miss Dublin and would like to come back asp.
ps. If someone who reads this is a reg.guestat O Sullivans it coluld be fun to know…
I went to O’Sullivan’s every night when I was in Dublin. Brian is an amazing singer. He has a great voice and the locals as well as him were all very friendly. I miss Dublin.

Brian Brody (Singer/Entertainer) : As I am from Dublin, I’ve been in ALOT of Irish Bar’s and have seen/heard ALOT of singers, None compare to Brian.
The Atmosphere in O’Sullivans is due to all the amazing regulars in there, When they are in Dublin thats where you find them, Most of the regulars in O’Sullivans are of all Nationalities/All Walks of Life. Alot of them came to Ireland for work, for holiday, for romance
