Nice pub behind Christ Church Cathedral
Darkey Kelly's is a nice Irish pub just behind Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin's medieval quarter. It used to be called the Maiden Tower, and is housed in an old 18th century century brothel. Darkey Kelley was in fact the madam of the brothel but was executed in 1746 for the alleged murder of her son. During the thirteenth century, the whole area was known as Copper Alley and was full of restaurants and bars, and the Darkey Kelly tries to recall that era with its decor and atmosphere. The menu consists of Irish dishes like Irish stew or Irish smoked salmon, as well as some international dishes (it's a touristy area, after all).
