The decor is exactly what I imagined, complete with stained glass and a real stag's head. Ordered the fish and chips, which were crisp on the outside with a flavorful batter, and tender fish on the inside. It also came with a nice little pea salad, with mushy peas and whole peas together with the greens. I definitely need to make this! Also got the Irish Cottage Pie and it was very tasty - rich in flavor but lighter than I expected, in a good way. Shared a pint of Guiness (just missed splitting the G - lol) and finished with an Irish coffee, which hit the spot. This is definitely a great place to go for a quiet pint or for a fun night of food and friends.

We got their fish & chips and Irish Cottage Pie. Both were very good and filling. Fish was nicely breaded and fried. Good flavor in their batter. Cottage pie was full of flavor but not overly rich. Great atmosphere and food/drinks. Lots of pubs to choose from in Dublin - Stag's Head is worthy of a visit.

Tonight was my first visit and I got the roast of the day which was roast beef. Coming from the US where portion sizes tend to be larger than your average European portion size, this even threw me for a loop. For €19.95 you get your protein, mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and stuffing. Needless to say I couldn't finish it all but the food was so good. Service was busy as they were attending to their customers but if you needed anything they were quick when you got their attention. The servers were friendly as well.

My mother had the fish and chips - she was so surprised that she enjoyed everything on the plate, including the green peas. My sister had the Vegetable Curry Soup- delicious as well. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting, which was a relief after leaving the other place. 5 stars for the food, service, the layout and a clear indication where the toilets are.

They do live music on occasion as well and so we were able to enjoy that while sipping our Guinness. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly.

They had a live band playing inside, but there wasn't any seating available, so we sat outside. Thankfully, it was sunny, dry, and in the low 70s, which made for a pleasant afternoon. The ordering process was interesting--you order at the bar and let them know which seating area you'll be using. As for the food, it was pretty traditional bar fare, so I'm not really sure what I expected. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't blown away either. I went with the bangers and mash, which was decent, although I found the gravy to be a little on the sweet side. The prices were slightly higher than most of the other places we visited in Dublin, but still felt fair given the location and atmosphere.
