Irish pubs tend to be less spacious too, people are really packed in in a way you'd never see in the US. But it's good! O.k. since I'm going to abuse this tweet thread to refer people to in the future, here's my list of pubs worth going to if you visit Ireland ...

Hughes' on Chancery lane, behind the four courts, Dublin. Best session music in the city too. Friday night is best.

Gravedigger's in Glasnevin, also Dublin, especially on a cold winter's night.

Bowes' on Fleet St. Dublin. Don't venture any more into Temple Bar than this.

Ryan's on Parkgate St., Dublin, before you go up for a meal at FXBs.
