If you want to experience a true Victorian pub in Dublin, The Stag's Head is a beautiful place to…read morestart. Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

I had a very chunky and very tasty fish chowder to start which, to be honest, with some brown bread would have been more than adequate as a lunch on its own. Plenty of fish pieces in a creamy broth was a great antidote to a miserable day outside. For main, I had a burger and, even though the chowder was plenty, I soldiered through and glad I was too. The double deck burger was excellent, perfectly cooked in a brioche bun. The accompanying fries were excellent, or, at least those I had were, as my companion insisted on swiping them to go with her prawns. We lingered with friends over good coffees before waddling out after a swift two hours. For what we got, it was very reasonable too. Recommended.

Beautiful in…read morethe winter with the open fire roaring We were here this past Saturday for lunch and were seated immediately despite how busy they were. After a quick look on the menu we both opted for the Croque Monsieur with fries. The service at this point was very efficient. Our lunch was served and looked amazing, served on little wooden boards with the fries in small tin buckets. A few bites in, I noticed how greasy the bread was - really disappointing as everything else was perfect! Ham was beautiful and the cheese was creamy and delightful! Following lunch we fancied a coffee and a cake. So we waited to order. And we waited, and waited and waited. Finally after 20 minutes we just got up, paid and left. In fairness they were all glued to the match, but not great when a paying customer feels like they're bothering you! I do adore Fallons though, so will make sure there is no football scheduled next time I pop in!

The dark wood table tops and cast iron bases just make me feel grounded. One of the hosts asked if I had a reservation, and I was almost sad because I didn't expect it. She was kind enough to seat me anyway. I don't know her name, but she was lovely, golden hair, and bright green glasses! I was served by Avinash, who had a warm demeanor. My phone was about 20% and he kindly let me charge it; hence why I do not have any photos of the meal :) at the end of the meal, when I asked for an espresso, Avi came back with my phone as well-- a nice touch of remembrance. I had the slow cooked lamb leg, with potatoes, carrots, and rosemary stuffing with a balsamic mint sauce. It was divine. It was my first meal of the day, and I savored every last bite. The atmosphere was just what I needed. 5/5 would return. And did yall know they got first editions of Bam Stoker, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce??? Sheeesh.

This was a sizable restaurant with an large outdoor seating area. Inside was nicely decorated and busy. I ordered the Seafood chowder that was thick, hot and with nice spice. After two mouthfuls the Corned Beef Rueben came out which made for a difficult decision to eat what first. The corned beef Rueben was ok, not as good as The Temple bar, too dry and a far 10th to my own juicy corned beef. While waiting for the check, I headed to the head to wash up and upon arrival back, my remaining beer was gone and table cleared as they thought I left. I Paid the bill and on my way.
