Insight Guides "Has more character than some of Dublin’s bigger, pricier places, with the first-floor Library Bar a popular spot with literary types. Situated close to Grafton Street. ."
Fodor's "Every city center needs its little oasis, and the Central's book-and-armchair-filled Library Bar—warmed by a Victorian fireplace—nicely fits the bill." Full review
