His wit is lightening fast which helps as he reaches for the higher shelves The Guinness is superb and worth the visit alone having been thoughtfully managed with temperature and excellent maintenance by professionals There is no pub in Dublin or Dun Laoghaire that I want to spend in more than this pub Some call if "the old man bar" because young and old alike feel welcome there If you like fun the owner encourages all singers good and bad to belt one out so don't be shy even if you don't know all the words. I highly recommend you go there have a pint and a good laugh. I'll probably see you there the next trip I'm home from Florida to visit my family!!!

There's a serious problem breathing with the oxygen removed from the air. know that I, and several other customers have complained about it, but it seems to have no effect. It must be far more hazardous than cigarette smoke ever was in a pub with even limited ventilation. Without the candles this would merit a 5.

It exposes a truth; that we are being fleeced by many pubs and it's mostly only the extent/degree of the rip off. So for quality of drinks and price it's 5 star. Food is also cheap - it's not a gastro experience it a cheap and sometimes cheerful dining experience - because it's cheap food. They don't hide that it is cheap and if that's your bag well ya pays yer money and ya takes your chance. Again it's 5 star for the spirit behind the intention not to rip you off so it's cheap food sold at a competitive price - take it or go elsewhere. Customer service here is low like the prices or it was such teatime on a sunny Saturday and if you have high expectations perhaps you'll be better off going elsewhere. Orders can technically be done by an app but it appeared not to work when we were there. We only wanted coffee. The place was filthy, the ground around us in the huge outside dining area was littered with chicken bones, the tables full of dirty plates and waste food everywhere not just the table tops but the seating and again the ground. Neither coffee machine was working and it took well over 10 minutes toing and froing by staff to make them ready to work. It was unacceptable and inside was as hectic as outside. The staff were run off their feet and were barely coping. A manger eventually and thumped the coffee machine that has a beneficial effect but he and the Franke coffee machines had one thing in common neither could cope with the demands placed on them not even close. The coffee was cheap from a machine offering flat whites, cappuccinos etc with free refills at under £2 a cup (you pay for the cup and it's DIY) but none of the four of us wanted a refill. We just wanted to leave. And we did, quickly. Horses for courses and won't return but they'll thrive simply by not robbing their customers blind underpinned by a say it as it is policy.

Turns out they are pre-made so they had to reheat another one.The person at fault was the chef who sent it down incomplete in the first place instead of spotting someone else's mistake. Also staff are often standing around talking. and doing nothing. Unbelievably sloppy and shoddy.

The pub is completely themed around James Joyce thanks to Ulysses and the nearby Martello Tower. A lot of thought went into the design and adds to the atmospere. Coming here on the 16th June you most likely will have problems getting in.... They serve lunch but I haven't tried that yet. But they have very decent coffee and all beers and wine that a local pub would offer.

It is said that Dunphy's serves the finest pint of Guinness in all of Christendom-this is not true, but they are very good. They're even better before or after a trip to the cinema, or like the ladies in the photo, on a fine summers day. Dunphy's is great, but don't expect to go on the pull. This is decidedly an old man pub.

Leaving aside the music bit the crowd is on the younger side of 40 and the atmosphere not at all bad.

Hmm, hasn't been reviewed since 2009..... it's still standing!…read more Got in early, on a Sat, to watch 3 dismal games of Rugby and asked the barman which screens would they be on - Which one do you want them on is always the right answer! It was quite, footfall wise, at 12pm but it slowly picked up. It seems to be frequented by every age group, including families. Throughout the day there was live music and a carvery. When I went to get my carvery I was having Mushroom sauce and was asked if I wanted more, this was turning into a great dish, then he piled on the roast potatoes.... and went back for more mushroom sauce. By now I had a good plate full and it only cost €6.99.... where can you get value that good? If you don't like carvery there seems to be an all day option of the likes of Chicken Nuggets(big tenders) and Chips. A good place to go with a family, but if you are there to have a meeting or watch a match on a Sat I would avoid it as the music can be overpowering. *music may have been on earlier in the day due to it being Paddy's Day.

A perfect wee hotel bar named after famous hotel guest Hardy, from Laurel and Hardy obviously…read more The bar itself is has over seven draft beers on tap including Smithwicks and Hop House 13, they also stock a range of spirits including a load of Irish Whiskeys. They don't have ginger beer though! The staff are great, considering the size of the bar they keep everything running smoothly. We asked a member of staff for advice on what to do while visiting and she immediately sent over a local employee who gave us some tips. Although we just ended up staying in Hardy's all evening. They serve food, it's a more casual dining experience than the hotel restaurant serving up burgers and wings - more traditional pub grub. I can't fault the bar at all - it was really busy when we visited, which I imagine it would be most evenings. Don't bother venturing in to town before trying this bar out!

We didn't really mind when we found Hardys Bar! The bar itself was nice and still had some Christmas decorations up!

The bar had a great selection of drinks and shots which explained the sore head the next day.
