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.

We were immediately acknowledged and seated at the room next to the bar area. Our server was Sacha. We started off with a pint of Guinness (e7.50) & a glass of wine (e8). Dinner was authentic Shepard's Pie (e19.50) - large dish of lamb & potatoes, served piping hot & was excellent. Also their beef & Guinness pie w/ champ & peas (e22) - good portion, hot, & delicious. Menu is traditional with some modern offerings. Dinners run e18-22. Lunch e12-18. Hours: Mon-Sat 12pm-11:30pm, closed Sun. No street parking. Best to use public transport. Overnight guest rooms are available via reservations. We had been here four years ago and it was more then good enough to go again this year. Thank you Sacha & the staff at O'Neill's for another memorable visit. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY, USA

Guinness was the choice of everyone else. We were seated downstairs (the place was packed for a Thursday afternoon) It was loud but then again it's an Irish Bar & it was raining outside so go figure.

A group of us wandered down the dark alley one Sunday afternoon, a little anxious about what we might discover... Pleasantly surprised to find ourselves inside a Sleeping Beauty-like cavern of candlelit wonder, we stopped to marvel over the interior before giving the solitary bar man his rush of the century. 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. Recipe for a good night with a large group: large tables - check, cheap beer (3.40 a pint!!!) - check, pool table - check... Ok this place is a winner. And get this - they even have a foozeball table! Rad! The toilets are definitely worth a gander... many, many mirrors, and easy to get lost in after a few pints of the dark stuff.

I think the hubby sat this one out and the rest of us got one pour each of most likely red breast 12. That's kinda what we had been drinking most of the night. I'm not sure on pricing, but the charge was $38.44 USD, so I'm guessing it was about what I listed above in euro. It was actually pretty busy when we got here. Ended up sitting outside to have the drinks. Your standard kinda divey pub / bar. Fun fact, I heard this is called The Ginger Man since it's named after the novel of the same name by JP Donleavy. The book is set in Dublin in the late 40s and the protagonist is a hard drinking student at Trinity College. REVIEW #4124

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

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.

Kieran and Phil are top notch (owner is lovely as well). Piper's seems to draw a handful of locals, and truthfully I can't figure out why the place isn't packed. They have amazing music each night, and a great atmosphere. My best guess is that people are trying to keep it a secret in a section of town where some of the nearby bars are overrun with sloppy loud tourists. Can't blame them really.
