Absolutely the Worse "Dive" bar imaginable! The clientele are noisy! The bathroom is beyond broken! Food typical of county fairs and smells of rancid cigarettes and old alcohol! The staff are inattentive! Very typical of the cheap place to go! This is my first and last place to go! Just a very creepy vibe! read more

My only regret is that I didn't try this place sooner!! It's surprisingly large and comfortable inside. Great Irish pub menu with plenty of options for all tastes. I'm not a meat eater but there were a few tasty choices for me as well. The staff was super busy but very helpful and happy to serve. We were there on a Wednesday when the live music was having a grand time entertaining us. Big dance floor too. Pool tables in the back. Loved the whole vibe! Parking is a bit limited but not a drawback. read more

First off, yes, the bathrooms are like something out of a horror movie (smelly, dirty, dark, and lots of broken fixtures). The entire venue is also REALLY dark on the inside. If you can get past the horror movie vibes, though, Dublin Pub is really pretty good! I came here to see a band play, and as a music venue, it fares quite well. There are lots of really great seats for seeing the band. Volume levels can be a bit excessive, and the bands may not be (OK probably won't be) Irish, but you'll be fine if you bring earplugs and aren't looking for Irish music. The service was great! The bar personnel frequently make rounds to take care of their customers, and bring food orders directly to the customer's table. The food is rather on the good side for what one would expect at a place with this sort of atmosphere. Portion sizes are big, and prices are reasonable. There are also quite a lot of beverage options for those who don't drink alcohol. The parking lot is small, and it is a bit tough on one's first visit to figure out where the entrance actually is. read more

The perfect club to host a blues jam. The place is relaxed. The beers were good. Everybody was getting into the music.

I used to hit this place now and then back when they were on the east side so it's been on my bucket list for a while to check out their new digs. OK, so I've been busy... The new location is a lot larger. Dark. Cold. There's a faux fireplace, gas powered. Throws no heat. Lots of Irish witicisms posted here and there. I am half Irish (Mother's side, who is VERY Irish). Irish Pubs are very popular back home in Boston and especially in my old neighborhood of Dorchester and Southie. A tough, blue collar, hard working crowd of no-nonsense, big eater and heavy drinker men. Corned beef and cabbage kinda guys. It's a venue that I am familiar and very comfortable in. So the place was empty except for a dozen or more poker club folks who I gather hold their events here. The sweet Colleen behind that bar was able to easily take care of the crew that was there which amounted to some guy shooting pool with himself and the sole guy at the bar who was apparently sweet on her. It looked to be mutual to me. So I was very surprised when my meal showed up barely warm. And I gather the cook never read the menu posted on the web site saying that the Irish dip was piled high with corned beef. Not so. Not even close. No stars off for the chilly fries or skimpy portions but for the sake of an accurate review, I spent $21 plus gratuity for a beer and a sandwich and left hungry. The food was "ok" although I have had waaaaay better corned beef sandwiches. I really liked the fries other than the fact that they showed up not very warm. At half the price (or double the portion size) it would have been a decent fare. As it was, doubtful that this place will ever make it to my faves list. Bummer too because there aren't many places in town that are Blarney themed. I miss that about being on the left coast. Irish folks are salt of the earth and I miss hanging out with them. Now I get it. The rent on that building must be a lot. Prime land situated in one of the most dangerous intersection in Portland (Five Corners). They have an outside patio that's probably nice when it's dry and not freezing. There was music playing inside but the volume was very subdued, thankfully. Smallish parking lot but there is ample overflow parking close by. No complaints really so thus the five stars. But it could be a whole lot better without much expense or effort. That said, I guess their regular clientele likes the place just like it is since they've been in business for a very long time. Easy to see why there was no one under 50 there though. read more

Really good live Traditional Irish music once a week. Food was ok. Drinks are not bad.

Very dark and gritty but if you like a dive bar this may be your place:). Good selection of beers. If you are after any wine forget about it:) read more

If only you could give 0 star This pub was definitely one of the worst I been to in the SW area. Also from what I can see from the other reviews that the owner commented on, the owner is a total douch as well. Since the owner decided to comment on the review, I figured I'd update it. Again bartenders we nice, they are always nice the few times I have been in. I don't eat here. For obvious reasons, just play lotto on occasion. But YES as other have stated food is absolutely terrible. Over seasoned and burnt to a crisp and yet still managed to come out cold. Also the bathrooms which I forgot to mention last time.. good lord you need a mask and a hazmat suit to use the bathroom they are so dirty and disgusting the smell alone is enough to make you vomit.. WTF.. so bad.... #neverbeencleaned.. Which is just ridiculous... And YES the music does suck. Again Unless you like death metal karaoke. Yes the band sounded like a terrible Karaoke band. So yes, to the owners remark to the review. You say they don't do karaoke and no death metal... you weren't there I was and yea, Well that was my point... they sounded so bad it was like karaoke and yes it was definitely death metal. So again yes! you do have live bands that play Death Metal and they sounded like a karaoke band which is fine just don't deny it.. I was there I live just down the road and yes they were definitely playing death metal and the band, like I said before was FUCKING TERRIBLE... sounded like terrible karaoke. Hence the remark, "unless you like death metal karaoke" Honestly there are far better bars nearby. I'm amazed your still in business and haven't been shut down due to health violations, with the cleanliness, quality of food, and atmosphere at the bar.. it's just disgusting I'd definitely recommend clubhouse, just down the road or if you really like dive bars sports page bar further down the road. read more

Anaheim mango vodka: has a peppery kick to it. Good as a shot, just have a chaser. Shoestring fries: SO good! Ridiculous good. Cajun fries: also really good...except there's just too much powder on them. A bit too overpowering. You can only eat a few and then have to take a break. Quesadilla: Also very good! Long Island Iced Tea: Strong! Woah. Overall I'm impressed with this place. Spacious, cozy fireplace, friendly staff, and really good bar food! read more

Honestly, I don't get all the extremely strong opinions on this place: it's just an old bar with a dark interior (like most Irish pubs), decent food, a few games, and occasional live music. I've had the fish and chips and the Irish nachos multiple times and while not jaw dropping, I'd say they are better than average for bar food. There are a ton of beers on tap and the bartenders know what they are talking about. I haven't had a bad bartender yet while going there on and off for 10 years, which is actually kind of remarkable. The only issues I've ever had were just because they were understaffed on a busy night, which I only remember happening a couple of times. They have pool, shuffle board (kind of rare these days), and a real dart board that, admittedly, has seen some hard times but still works. They run trivia and Karaoke like most bars and frequently have live, local music. It's dim lighting inside with mostly dark wood tables and white walls. That's about it. Nothing crazy for good or ill, just a nice place to have a drink, play some games, and maybe listen to a band. read more

stiff drinks for cheap with local live music! good food and 3 FREE pool tables. love the artwork on the walls and the open fireplace. apparently this place was a strip club around 30 years ago which i heard was called faucet tavern. may be wrong if thats what it was called when it was a strip club, but at one point it went by that name. never had an issue here, open late as well. read more

My favorite dive bar in town. Great drinks, great staff. While I have visited a couple times now, I haven't been here prior to COVID, but I have several friends who grew up in the neighborhood and went here several times over the years and say it's always been a great go-to hangout spot. read more

Came here for the first time while bar hopping on a Friday night, it seemed like they had a single speaker on one side of the bar and if you were sitting o. The opposite side you couldn't clearly hear what was playing, the place looks and feels dirty, i didn't want to order food because of it. The beer was alright but hey beer is beer. Bathrooms are so gross I felt so discussed after using it.. read more

Measured whiskey. 1 ounce. Club sandwich was like something from a school cafeteria for $16. It was out of beer, the taps were busted. It's smelly. read more

Great customer service and great crowd, occasional ruffian but always a fun time and good people. Drinks are awesome and taste the way they should, absolutely recommend it for someone looking for an Irish pub! I'd be down for some more Irish music (blast Flogging Molly!!!!) but always a good atmosphere. Come get the micro brews they have! read more

It's an Irish bar, it's a sports bar, its a dive bar, in the suburbs, it's super bar! This ramshackle building probably grew in stages, how old was the original? The central bar is small for the size of the building, but efficient with a great tap selection. The Dublin Pub is about half a mile from one of the oldest houses and a barn that was the half way point for people traveling by horse from Portland to Beaverton. That house is at the corner of SW Hamilton and Shattuck - the Tigard Rogers House, 4504 S.W. Shattuck Road, built about 1855 - and it is still standing. The Dublin Pub also joins the list of small museums for its collection of tap handles. They have gathered them and display them over 50 feet of ceiling cornice around the bar area. In the past, Dublin drew from the West, but now the West has fancified. Raleigh Hills is not the center of the known universe. But there is a lot of dense housing nearby, and Dublin can be a destination for that. read more

After running around playing some indoor soccer, this was the perfect place to meet with the other team, drink a beer, and reminisce about how our team should have won the game. One of the guys on the other team worked out a "deal" with the bar that gave us some free fries - although a little over salted, it was probably good to ingest some salt after sweating it off just moments earlier. The beers on tap are all $3 - a great deal when there are some really good beers on tap. There was some guy singing it up, and we asked that he keep the volume to a reasonable level... and what do you know, he did! We were actually able to hold a conversation during the music, and the music was enjoyable. I'd also like to mention that the bartender rocks. When I was up at the bar, I asked for some water w/ lemon - which he got me immediately. Then as I was sitting with our group, he came by to drop off the food that some of the folks ordered, and he asked if I wanted more water. I didn't have to ask, nor did I have to head back up to the bar to get it. How awesome is that? Overall great place, and I'd definitely head out there after a game next time around... Oh, the owner also stopped over and chatted with our group for a little bit. Very cute touch on a very enjoyable evening... if only we hadn't tied the game, it would have been an even better night! read more

This review is twenty six years in the making... I don't even know if yelp existed back then, so take it with a grain of salt . I used to go there after midnight everyday after work and have two small beers. They used to have 102, and I wanted to try all of them. Everyone was nice and friendly back then. I think it took me over two month to get the T-shirt, and have my name on the plaque. They don't do that anymore, and the plaque is gone. I think I am the only one who tried all 102 beers. read more

SLOW! Taco Tuesday took half hour for my order. Come on man...tacos on taco tuesday! "He is making them"...after a half hour? I am Irish and after a few beers I can do anything BUT apparently germans hired by Irish are unable to make Mexican food (tacos mind you!) In an resonable amount of time. I mean that is the advantage of serving tacos, isn't it? I guess that's what I get on taco Tuesday at an Irish bar. I would have come here on corned beef cabbage Wednesday if they only had one. read more

Dublin Pub is a nice dive bar. Has your pool, shuffle board, good happy hour. The food is alright, but then again you don't necessarily go to a dive bar for food. Also the bartender was very nice. Definitely would recommend during happy hour. read more

Good happy hour beer prices and free pool until 7:00pm. The bartenders are all personable and will help you select the perfect beer for your evening. Can get busy and short-staffed. Would benefit from having more wait-staff. Live music is good, but tends to cater to the older yuppie crowd. I would give them 4 stars if they had some vegan food options. read more

What can one say about the Dublin....other than it's a divey bar w/ live music, decent tap list, happy hour food prices twice a day, has pool & video poker, cool fire place. Good enough for me! Friday - $5 cover but you get to see live music starting around 10pm. Not always the greatest bands....mostly cover bands, but not half bad. The rotating tap list is pretty good. Plenty of options. Staff is quick to serve most of the time. They do have a small outdoor patio area in the front. Decent bar if you live in the area. read more

My fiancé and I have been going to the Dublin for years and they never disappoint! The chicken nachos are delicious, overall a great bar and amazing staff!! read more

Free poker, no cash prizes (part of the citywide US Tournament Poker league) although you can qualify for quarterly tournaments with prizes. Level of play varies extremely, from complete novices and drunks to superb players. Great place to learn the game, try out new strategies, or just to pass the time with a game while drinking. Pluses: Great beer list. Those Irish sayings on the walls. Free poker and free pool. Lots of hot babes in revealing outfits (don't quite understand why this grungy drinker's bar is a pickup joint but apparently it is). Minuses: Lousy food. Too-loud music. Spotty service. read more

The dub pub is a great pub. It just has a great neighborhood bar feel. My fiancé and i like to go there and play pool and get some good beers. They have a great selection of beer and bar foods. The nachos and tots are both great. read more

Was in here a few weekends ago, it is what it is. Went in kind of late, looking for something to do. There was nothing going on this night anywhere so rolled in here where DH said there is always live music. Went in and the band that was playing wasn't too bad the cover was 5 bucks at 10pm not too bad for the music, but the band that came after them sucked! I can't even remember the name of them but did not like the sound and that is unusual for me. Drinks were OK and but went down fine. I have been here before and had the nachos, they were ginormous!! Had to take some home. I love the decor of the place the dark seedy feel. It's a good venue for music for sure. Prefer getting next to the fireplace in the winter but that is always tough. Will stop in again in the future and when I'm over here. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now. It's really too bad about the recent staff Changes. The current staff does not attend to any of the customers that are not sitting at the bar. The newest staff, not sure of his name, red hair and beard is just plain rude. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I will go back. read more

Puzzled by low ratings until i read a few of them. The Dublin is genuine if not a bit edgy and my favorite thing about them is that they are always open to helping out the small scale brewer. The Dublin gave the Widmer brothers a shot back when they were working out of their garage. Gotta like that. Brewpubs push their own products - good and bad. The Dublin laid some of the track this great beer town runs on and is a great place. As for the service: I have been ignored by power tripping hipster bartenders at much better places than this. You should expect that at any place. As for the food: I will take the crispy tots at the Dub over the limp, greasy, over-seasoned basket of fries at McMenamins any day. read more

Fun local place and I always support non-chain establishments! We were pleasantly surprised. This place was large, filled up quick for a Saturday night. Band was cool, but I suspected they played the same four songs over and over. Enough booze and you won't notice! Age range was terrific!! Seems like 21 to 71, just a GREAT mix of folks. Wear a wig, piercings, wings, whatever. I think it all would work at the Dublin Pub. And... I will be back :) read more

Well I'll start off by saying this. They added drinks and shots to my tab. I asked for an itemized print out and after telling the bartender that my bill can't be that high. Good thing I looked because several beers and shots were on it that wasn't mine. I payed with a different card and asked them to give me back my debit card.. when I drove home that night they charged my debit card aswell. This was on Saturday night. Come Monday and that money is still not back into my account. Fast service but that's about all it has going for it.. update- i finally received my money back on the following Wednesday. So it was a total of 5 days to get those charges to come off my bank statements.. a lot of phone calls made it happen read more

Overall, this is a real local pub with surprisingly good food. It just needs a serious remodel/facelift. Food: 5 : Now this rating is relative, as in it's pub food, not expensive restaurant food. But everything we had was very good and fresh, from Irish beef dip sandwich to fries to burger. Drinks: 3 : Nothing great, nothing wrong, just typical bar with moderate selection. Service: 4 : We had a very good waitress. Attentive, gave us the remote to the TV so we could flip between games. Only drawback was she forgot one substitution on our food order. Atmosphere: 2 : The building is a DUMP. It seriously needs work, inside and out. It has off street parking which is good, plus they have 3 pool tables, a small stage for musicians and a shuffle board. Only one small TV though, so not a sports bar. read more

The Dublin Pub is good at what it's trying to be, I guess: a bro bar with a decent beer selection and live music. I appreciated their large selection of winter ales while I was there and they have a semi-decent dancing area. But seriously - the bathroom was disgusting. Here's the thought that ran through my head: whoever owns this bar doesn't care at all about their business. If you did, you'd pay the $20 to replace disgusting toilet seats and make the bathroom somewhat usable. But no... disgusting. I've been twice and both times that was my experience. read more

It's what you expect from an Irish Pub. Lots of beer, fried food and lively atmosphere. I'm not rating them well based on my waitress. She simply didn't care about two girls at a table in a 'guys' bar. I ordered several drinks with food and my friend (the sober driver) ordered water. The waitress practically rolled her eyes in disappointment and never cracked one smile but she was bend-over flirtatious and friendly for tables full of guys. What these chicks fail to realize, is that if they piss enough women off with their attitude..and the women don't return...neither will the men. Regrettably, I left her a normal tip, so she wouldn't have a reason to stereotype me. The manager should be aware that his very 'average' looking female staff needs to treat all customers decent...not just the men. I would only go back to see some great live music. This time I'll sit at the bar, where the male bartenders will treat me better. read more

Went there last night for some live music and beer and I wasn't disappointed. The bar staff was terrific. They are very kind and down to earth. The band was fantastic! Called the Cliffhangers Bank PDX. They played a nice mix of dance music but mostly 80's which always makes me happy. Pretty good singers and a great band. I didn't get any food, but it looked good coming out of the kitchen. Really had a nice time for a one week visit to Beaverton. Older crowd but a few younger people. But the music really set the tone and I had a nice time. read more

I would not recommend this place, unless you do not care about quality food or drink. The food is below average and overpriced. The beer is stale and lacks selection when compared to surrounding area bars and tap houses. The place looks broken and worn down which mirrors the service you can expect from this place. I hardly consider this an Irish Pub. It's clear that the owner has no direction or passion for this place, which trickles down to the workers. Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere. read more

This place is abominable. I ordered the "Irish Nachos" and started farting out their foul grease within fifteen minutes of consumption. My bowels had to evacuate the nachos in the abysmal restrooms before I even left the establishment. I wish I had been drunk enough to erase this from my memory. Sadly their huge tap list also sucks. Do yourself a favor and head elsewhere. The management is also ridiculous and incompetent. I would not recommend this bar to anyone. read more

Came in during a Saturday afternoon. Owners or managers or whoever, were giving off a seriously bad vibe at the bar. An elderly woman and a middle aged blond man. Seemed angry and unhappy. Like they don't even want to be in the business. Rudely interrupted my convo / order with the bartender for some reason that absolutely couldn't wait. WTF? Place was dead. Excuse me... Overall, forgettable experience. With so many other choices, I see no reason to come back... read more

As always I am a huge fan of English style pubs they tend to have my favorite beers on tap. This place is a good place to go to if your lookin' to mingle with the 20 something crowd. They have billiards and live music and great beer what more could a guy ask for? Women right.... well each time I've gone there has always been a plethora of women to dance with. Bartenders are friendly as are the waitresses, they even went the distance to get me some garlic fries. As far as the music goes they have a nice variety of styles every week. Sure to fancy your feet. I would recommend this place any time. read more
