    Outside the pub- pretty typical look in the city centre
    Kelli O.

    This was the first pub we went to after a long flight from the states and it was by pure accident as it was about to start pouring rain so we popped in for a bite and a dink around 5pm. The pub was already moderately packed and the front table/section had a live musician so it was a bit louder than normal. We moved our way to the back of the restaurant where we saps few available tables and tried to get seated. Unfortunately we were told that they were reserved for a 6:30. I was disappointed because that was an hour and a half away and surely we would have been able to eat and drink in that amount of time. We ended up finding a small bar area in the corner and a few stools so some of us could sit. Getting drinks were easy as all you have to go is walk up to the bar. Getting food was a challenge, especially since the server said she would come take our order after we settled. I ended up having to flag down an older gentleman, who I can only assume was I'm the bar owner. He was kind enough to send over a server to look after us. The food was outstanding and came out rather quick. I suspect this is due to a pretty set menu offering. The bar quickly got crowded from all the passersby who were seeking shelter from the heavy rain, but once that passed it felt like locals and a handful of tourists were left there, which was nice and gave you more room to breathe and talk to your group without shouting or getting bumped into because of the foot traffic. I'm very glad we stumbled upon this pub and will keep it on our list to visit again the next time we're in Dublin.

    corned beef

    I can't give this a 5/5 stars because we didn't spend too much time here, but a buddy of mine and I came here for straight corned beef because we couldn't find a place that served just that. We were actually supposed to go to a carvery but there wasn't one in the Temple Bar area. We spoke to a local and she said those are the best placed to get real corned beef but we couldn't make it that far out of the city. Anyway, onto it. Decent spot, looks like all the other kind of pubs/restaurants out there. The service was great, no doubt about that, but on to the food. Just the corned beef, itself was really good, and I'm not sure what kind of sauce was on it but it was really good. I expected the cabbage in Ireland to be better, but it was alright.

    Yummmmmm!  You must try this place. Affordable with great .

    I recommend this place. The shepherd's pie was so good. We took shelter here from the rain and we loved it.

    Yum! Within walking distance from Abigail Hostel and a great place for a pint and food. The bartender was attentive, talkative and I'm going to say it, damn! Good looking. I'm single and I have eyes. What can one say? Anyhow, I had my beautiful dark pint of Guinness and it just didn't disappoint.

    On our first night in Ireland, we walked around Temple Bar for nearly an hour checking out menus and such, and were ultimately drawn into Fitzgerald's by the prices. It offers some of the cheapest traditional Irish fare in all of Ireland! Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. I ordered Shepherd's Pie, and it was marvelous. The portion was smaller than most restaurant servings (which explains the cheaper prices, most likely), but in my opinion, that's a GOOD thing. We were so pleased with our first visit here that we made several more stops throughout the week. We loooooved the drink menu, and we double-loved the prices. Five euro for a cocktail? Are you kidding me? That's almost unheard of in Dublin! The cosmo and mojito are both fantastic. By the time we left Dublin, we had become so emotionally attached to this cozy bar that we all purchased Fitzgeralds T-shirts. I wear mine all the time. :)

    Anyone who left less than 5 stars is lying. The Beef and Guinness Pie is EVERYTHINGGGGG. A local clued me in on this spot and since then, my visits to Dublin always include this spot. There is live music and bartenders are friendly. It is clean and you just need to go!!!

    Stopped in because I'm a Fitzgerald after all and not only was the food and service great The customer service was top notch! Stop in for a pint and a bite to eat.

    Fitzgeralds was a basic pub that seemed to mostly cater to tourists; the prices were average for 'a pint' and the crowd was mostly European.

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.

A group of us wandered down the dark alley one Sunday afternoon, a little anxious about what we might discover...

The place was empty before we arrived, but luckily we'd brought a large enough group to make the entire place our own. The candelabras, mood lighting and high, domed ceilings make this place enchantingly atmospheric, but let's not forget the practicalities.

The Wind Jammer is not, however, one of the really fun early houses. For fun early houses that serve already somewhat inebriated people, try The Chancery. The Wind Jammer is the type of early house that caters to shift workers and Gardaí from Pearse St coming off the night shift. Apart from a few couples the morning after the Trinity Ball, they wouldn't let in too many post-club revellers. The door is closed most early mornings, and they have a CCTV camera to give ya a good hard scrutinising before they'll let you in. The only time I was there for early pints, there was only one other group of young lads there and the barman looked like he was about to stop serving them. During the rest of the day and night, the Wind Jammer is a quiet pub frequented mainly by old, grumpy locals, who would sooner bite your head off than ask you the time of day. If you're really desperate for a drink and can't make it til half ten when the rest of the pubs open, by all means go to The Wind Jammer. Otherwise, there isn't that much else to recommend to it. Oh, one other thing. The Wind Jammer is the closest pub to Windmll Lane Studios, so U2 and The Saw Doctors among others have retired there for post-recording session pints over the years. Not the type of thing that would interest me, but sure it might interest you so I thought that I'd tack it on the end there
