Ember loving that this bar is dog friendly
Sharon S.

Cosy, friendly pub that has a little 'cheers' type of vibe to it... That everyone will know your name once you become a regular. Very friendly and attentive with a cosy lounge which has a nice casual vibe. Great place to unwind, catch up with some friends. Also, another added bonus... Dog friendly and I don't mean just area outside for them with bowls, I mean take you big or small dog indoors and have then sit beside you. As a person who badly would like a dog but can't have one cause I'm renting, this is the perfect place to go get myself some dog cuddles :-) Nice work guys at MVP!

Great pub, great cocktails, great beers, great staff, great location, great food, great decor, great music, and most importantly of all great dog-friendly policy! Just a really cool, friendly pub. Go there, have a beer and pet a dog! If Dublin City Council change their 'dogs in pubs' regulations it's a disgrace!!

Doggy's first pub!! Such a great atmosphere, and although I'd be biased because it's one of the few places I can bring my dog, it would be great regardless. It really is everything I wanted my local pub to be, without thinking it'd ever be possible, and I feel very lucky that it is close to home! Great selection of cocktails, good music, cozy ambiance (candles and all); the perfect atmosphere to unwind and enjoy a drink. It's no surprise that this place attracts lots of people, it's not a typical bar in any sense, it has more of a cafe feel, being very laid back and relaxed. The staff are awesome, friendly and welcoming to dogs and humans alike! There is a water bowl at the entrance and treats at the bar. You're even welcome to have your dog sit in the booth with you, which is a really nice perk for those of us with lap dogs. Though just a warning that there are usually a few dogs on any given evening, and most are off leash, though in our experience they're all very well behaved so it's never a problem. This place gets two paws (and thumbs) up!

Look, so here's the skinny. If you asked me to design a PERFECT local bar, my wishlist would pretty much go like this : 1. Friendly Staff 2. Fancy Rum 3. DOGS It appears the people behind MVP have somehow haxed into my brain and delivered exactly that. For good measure they've added an impressive range of incredibly affordable cocktails that changes regularly (8.50 for a great cocktail in Dublin just doesn't happen anywhere else). The music is pitched at a perfect level where you can enjoy it without it ever getting in the way of conversation. More recently they have added a tasty selection of food - boxes of fried potatoes with various dips, stews etc. Perfect around 11pm on a Friday. Above all else though, the excellent staff seem to align nicely with me on their tastes in rum - there's always a bottle of Ron Zacapa to keep me happy. You'll also find an excellent selection of whisky, gin and a craft beers on tap and bottled. Did I mention that you can bring your dog?

What a great lil pub! I went on a particular rainy, windy and down right depressing evening so MVP was a cosy and welcome respite. They have a good selection of craft beers but went with the reliable Guinness, perfectly poured I might add. I was attending an event upstairs with plenty of couches and chairs it's a nice little spot for talks. I see they do other events like yoga upstairs too which I'll definitely have to try out. As the wind howled outside the talk flowed within the nice atmosphere of MVP. We tried out the "Mediterranean Spudbox" which were delicious! Bit on the pricey side at €7 and then €9 for the meaty ones but you do get a good sized spud! Overall a pleasant pub for a nice catch up with friends over a drink!

I had to update my review to 5 starts, I simply love this place. The wine menu has been beefed up to include some decent vintages, and the food menu is short but excellent. The staff are awesome too, don't be afraid to ask for anything!

The authentic Victorian setting, the Victorian mahogany fittings, the mosaic marble tiled floors and granite tabletops, the mahogany bar, capped with red Connemara marble, follows the classic Victorian architectural pattern. The staff are helpful, friendly and patient since their accent is hard to understand sometime. My 1st beer and 1st Irish food, all I can say is what a meal, just simple delish. Being here is just a wondrous experience, the place is cosy, warm and the friendly of the people. So glad I picked this place as my first of Dublin.

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.

Not something you'd expect to come across at…read morethe end of an alleyway under Tara St Station, Sub Lounge takes its visitors on a gothic journey into a haven of magical otherworldliness. 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 should have known it would be a disaster when the female bartender had to as the waitress how to make it needless to say it was not very good. After a while my friend decided to get one more round before we left. Well to say we were shocked is an understatement. When the waitress came over she went to order a drink to which the response was cant you see I'm busy what's wrong with you going to the bar, as she turned and walked away and went back to the bar to chat with another member of staff. The girl that had been looking after us earlier I think had finished which was a shame. Needless to say we didn't stay for another drink. This would put me off going back I could understand if it was busy but service like this is not acceptable

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
