A gem that is somewhat different among the Dublin pubs is Neary’s. Behind the bar are dignified old men in white, high-buttoned shirts and black bow-ties. There’s no other bar in the city that is this dreamy and old-fashioned. The graceful gentlemen behind the bar are well versed in the famous Irish sense for self-irony. The red leather chairs and red carpets are a perfect finish to the stylish atmosphere. While the ground floor is often a meeting place for the established clientele and tourists, upstairs there’s usually more going on. This endearing local is transformed each evening into a charming bar that attracts a diverse crowd, anywhere from students to the very well-heeled.
