BibblybObs, having spent many many nights in the Titanic Bar and then turning left instead of right I can tell you it's the ALPIN HOTEL. Very cosy and has the bar downstairs. Lot of German and Russian dlientele but a very smart hotel.
The irish bar is underneath the Flora Hotel. Stayed there two years ago and i dont think i saw any persons in there. Loads of other top quality bars aroud some with very good live bands. Enjoy all.
