View this post on InstagramLocated just off Grafton Street in central Dublin, the pub dates back to the 19th century and has remained in the same family for more than a century. Dalton says it represents everything that makes an Irish pub special.

Locals even have a rule for spotting tourists: never grab the pint before it finishes settling.
