Instagram names 'Ireland's top 10 pubs' – Dublin dominates, Cork and Galway make list
Instagram has just dropped an intriguing list of Ireland's most popular pubs.
Now, before we get started, it's important to remember that this list is based on which boozers have been tagged the most.
So, if your own favourite little haunt doesn't feature, don't be too upset. This list is based on popularity rather than quality and, with that in mind, it's easy to understand why Dublin takes seven of the top 10 spots.
Check out the top ten in full below…
10. An Pucan, Galway

Galway sneaks in at number 10 with its only entry; An Pucan.
Claiming to have 'Galway's best secret beer garden' and some of the most amazing whiskeys & food in the city.
It had over 8000 posts in the last year and is viewed as one of the best spots for live music on the west coast.
9. Panti Bar, Dublin

Owned by Ireland's most famous drag queen, it's no wonder that Panti Bliss's Panti Bar takes a spot on the top 10.
Having opened its doors almost 10 years ago, Panti Bar is now regarded as a staple of the Dublin nightlife scene and is hugely popular with people of all ages.
8. Zozimus, Dublin

Regarded as one of Dublin's best cocktail bars, the visually stunning Zozimus is a must for anyone passing through Ireland's capital.
Also playing host to the talented chef Jules Mak, Zozimus rightly takes a spot in the top 10.
7. The Stag's Head, Dublin

Located on Dame Street, The Stag's Head is undoubtedly one of Dublin City's most lively boozers.
Famous for its live music and comedy events, the Victorian pub with wrought-iron chandeliers and ceiling-high mirrors is a must for those who have never wandered through its doors.
6. The Porterhouse, Dublin

The first Temple Bar feature rears its head in the form of The Porterhouse.
A great spot for a slightly edgy night out, The Porterhouse is a brewery bar that offers a range of its own craft specialities.
Guaranteed to find a great buzz and a good beer, it's no wonder that the Temple Bar brewery has risen to prominence.
5. The Oliver Plunkett, Cork

Cork City is undoubtedly one of the best spots in Ireland for a late night wander with countless boozers worthy of an Insta check-in.
The Oval, Tom Barry's and the newly opened Crawford & Co. deserve special mentions.
However, when it comes to tourist driven business, The Oliver Plunkett dominates in the south western city and it features at number five in Instagram's top 10.
Guaranteed to provide live music and a bustling crowd, the 'OP' is worthy of its place in Ireland's most popular watering holes.
4. Lusty Beg island, Fermanagh
A post shared by @eiretravels on May 14, 2019 at 4:29pm PDT
Apparently no longer one of Ireland's hidden gems, Fermanagh's Lusty Beg Island now features at number four in Ireland's most popular pubs.
As part of a spa resort that stares out over Lough Erne, Lusty Beg is simply a jaw-dropping spot to have a pint or a glass of wine and take it all in.
3. The Bernard Shaw, Dublin
A post shared by The Bernard Shaw (@thebernardshaw) on Jun 2, 2018 at 6:09am PDT
With an incomparable layout and its graffiti inspired designs, a night in the The Bernard Shaw can often feel more like a house party than a trip to an Irish pub.
Also playing host to countless live events and offering a range of food options, number 3 on the list is undoubtedly one of our faves.
2. Cafe en Seine, Dublin
A post shared by Café en Seine (@cafeenseine) on Apr 18, 2019 at 3:57am PDT
Another visually stunning night spot, the Cafe en Seine will send jaws dropping as soon as you step through the door.
Covered in elegant artwork and spanning over three floors that run up to a glass panelled ceiling, the Dawson Street bar has to be seen to be believed.
1. Well, take a guess…
A post shared by Annette White (@bucketlistjourney) on May 16, 2019 at 7:24am PDT
Yep, it's The Temple Bar.
The boozing behemoth was tagged over a half a million times in the last year alone so, it's no surprise to see the tourist driven phenomenon taking the top spot.
