I was at a leaving drinks last Friday in O'Neills. I have been to the O'Neills on Suffolk street a number of times but this was my first outing to the one on Pearse street. The Pearse Street version has the same "Old man pub" quality as it's counterpart on Suffolk street, but appears smaller and less maze-like! It's a nice pub for meeting friends for a few quiet drinks, as it is easy enough to get seats and it's quiet enough to chat away without straining your eardrums!
