Avoid Temple Bar, simple as that. It's insanely expensive ( 7 euros a drink the norm ) and faux Irish. No one from Dublin goes near the place. It's the Dublin version of the Bigg Market in Newcastle, with bad ass doormen too.
If you're a pub man, do some research on " the Poets pubs " - Keats, Joyce etc. You can do a cracking pub crawl based on the pubs that the famous Irish Poets used to drink in.
If it's still open there's a club called - Copper Faced Jacks. It's actually a very nice bar of a hotel , with a club underneath ( can't remember the name of the hotel, but Google the club ) it's near to St Stephens Green. You need to be in by 11pm or you'll have difficulty getting in as it gets rammed - free to get in and there's lots of lovely friendly local girls in there. Tourists generally don't go there and they seemed to like English Lads for some reason !. Great place.
Above all avoid Temple Bar, you have been warned !.

My mate from Dublin, said it was full of " Country Girls and Nurses " that's why it was so easy to pull in there !.
Good shout re The Elephant and Castle too.

Ha ha , I haven't heard it call that for years - wonderful place !
If you can't pull a bird in coppers... then all hope is lost. A magical place
Temple Bar is nice for a walk, but don't bother stopping there for food or drink. It's a tourist trap, plain and simple. I agree with the earlier comments about Copper Faced Jacks and the Porterhouse - both good for a few beers and a few women.
My mate from Dublin used to say that " God lives in Copper Faced Jacks ! ".

Opium Rooms on Wexford St, great food downstairs and nice cocktails upstairs
If it's cocktails he's after then he should go to The George.
