Just over the canal bridge in Lesson Street brings you to one of the most congenial boozers in the city, The Lesson Lounge.

The Lesson Lounge décor and layout has a '70's feel with plush seating around the walls, tables and chairs and high stools around the walls. It is a bar designed for drink and chat with a few jokes and a little gossip thrown in for good measure. The bar is staffed by very capable men in white shirts, who are a dab hand at delivering a tasty pint of Guinness and their ham and cheese sandwich toasted is a delight to behold and of course to eat.

The walls of The Lesson Lounge are strewn with classic teams and victories from the world of sport. The bar is not that far from that Mecca of Irish Rugby and Soccer, Lansdowne Road and they also have very strong ties to the world of Hurling and Gaelic Football. It is natural then that a major sporting event is the best time to drink in the bar, as it takes on an atmosphere of its own, packed to the rafters and brimming with excitement.

So, for a pint, a sandwich and the best sporting atmosphere in a Dublin pub, check out The Lesson Lounge.
