Judge Roy Bean's is an american themed bar next to Trinity College just off the bottom of Grafton Street, which, like many pubs in Dublin, is much bigger than it first appears.

The length of the pub is quite unexpected, and it gets wider as you go further back from the door, with the bar running up the right hand side until the seated dining area. I visited the pub twice, once during the day for some excellent food, all texan style with generous portions and fantastic flavours.

At night the bar is mobbed, but the large bar makes getting served not too much hassle, even if you have to be there pretty early to get a seat (but tell me a pub where you don't have to be there early to get a seat).

A great pub, well worth a visit both during the day and on a night out.
