Dublin's drinking culture is rooted in the traditional pub, and many of its best-known rooms double as places to drink properly rather than dedicated cocktail dens. The Long Hall and The Stag's Head in the south city centre are Victorian landmarks, while Kehoe's and Grogan's Castle Lounge nearby remain institutions. The Cobblestone in the north inner city and The Palace Bar in Temple Bar carry the same heritage, and the Vintage Cocktail Club offers a more dedicated mixed-drinks room.
