This is officially one of my new favourite pubs! Came here for an impromptu drink with a couple of friends. The places is very eclectic, and yes, probably a bit more hipster. However, they have a good selection of craft beers, and great little snugs you can go into for privacy. They also have candies at the bar, and give you board game to play while you're hanging out. So we spent the afternoon drinking, and playing guess who. Was GREAT fun! The other part liked (which will make me sound really old) is that the music was just loud enough to hear, but just quiet enough that you could actually have a conversation with people sitting at your table. We had their pizzas, which weren't anything to write home about, but were still good. That didn't matter though, because the fun environment more than made up for it! read more

Really cute place with the red candles and pew-like booths. We had a great waitress and the food was tasty. Hip relaxed vibe

Nice alternative bar... Like being in your nanans dim living room which is a good thing for me! All the ipa and pale ales you would want - along with a good selection of wines, which I find great because I don't like beer. They also do pizza... Delicious pizza! The staff are very knowledgable of their product! read more

See all

Our time at P Mac's was awesome. The service was incredibly friendly, went out of their way to set up our table for a party of 6, gave us so many drink recommendations and took the time to explain some food choices despite how busy the place was. The food was so good and they had so many beer options. It's a little pricey but worth it one night while in Dublin! read more

My new favorite pub! Atmosphere is relaxed with lots of hidden little corners to grab a comfy seat. Board games to play for entertainment. Excellent beer selection. Excellent selection of tonics for that perfect G & T. Very cool soundtrack playing during my last visit, with a little bit of everything 90s from Biggie to Weezer. Decor is fun and quirky, lots of candles. I've never been during peak hours but it's still always been crowded. read more

i would say that there is some room for improvement in this venue. The decoration inside is really nice, the space is nice, with some "cabinets" at the side, where is very nice to sit and to drink a beer. The food is average, noting especial and the music is sometime more like an after hours pub, even in the mid afternoon, and with not very good sound quality. But somehow not bad at all read more

This is a lovely pub. The staff are so friendly and it has such a great atmosphere. You will struggle to find a better selection of craft beers in dublin and they have board games and old fashioned sweets too. Oh and not to forget their great food menu as well. A must visit place if you are in dublin. read more

Visiting from SF, was recommended this bar by an Irish local. Completely loved it! We went back a few times during our visit. Try the "Trouble" IPA which is brewed by one of the bartenders himself. Thursday night was a great crowd. read more

Wandering around Dublin on a lazy and rainy Sunday afternoon and my boyfriend and I chanced upon this delightful pub. The first thing that struck me was the character and ambiance, which was really appealing to our rain soaked souls! There were thick, fat candles burning warmly on old wooden tables that reminded me of visiting my great aunt's farmhouse kitchen as a child. The trip down sensory memory land continued with the variety of board games being played by groups of friends or couples, which added a really intimate and familiar feel. It's definitely a pub that feels like it could be a friends cool living room. After we got our respective drinks we sat in a corner tucked away at the back. Again the dim lighting and cosy couches made me feel very relaxed. We spent a really enjoyable hour chatting there, and even the creepy clown on the wall felt friendly after the initial shock! Would definitely recommend for a date or for a group of friends. read more

P Mac's - Clown mural! - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

One of those "if l owned a pub" pubs. I love everything about this place: the amazing selection of craft beer and ciders, the awesome staff, the snugs, the board games, the perpetual 10pm gloom the place seems to be in all day long. Just a great place for a drink. read more

Best bar/pub in Dublin... And that's saying a lot! Great selection of beers, especially local varieties on tap. Staff is so friendly- Rory is the best! Kept coming back and had great recommendations. read more

My fries did not look like the pic. Food was OK. Probably better than standard Irish pub food, but I am back in USA as I write this, so just OK. read more

Way too crowded the night we went. My mate is quite loud when he talks, and staff kept staring at him. We left soon after! Sweets on the counter were nice. No real smoking area only outside the front door. Bathrooms are situated a long way away and they were filthy. Although it was late so I'm sure it was a timing thing. Told the barmaid the toilet was blocked and she didn't seem to care. Walked the other way. read more

Has one of the coolest bar/pub atmospheres in Dublin. The whole place is lit up by large candle centerpieces which gives it a cozy look. The best part of P.Mac's is the games they make available, there are board games, card games and jenga. They play great music and have a wide variety of craft beers and other drinks. Can definitely get very busy on the weekends but there is a decent amount of seating and I never have a problem getting a few seats together, you just might have to sit with some other people. read more

Super delish fish tacos, yummy ipa, and rad staff. The atmosphere is really neat and eclectic and fun. Board games and beer PLUS great food and staff? 5 stars, easy. read more

I really like this place because of the atmosphere and the cool decoration. They have a really big selection of beers and the music is also nice. Good option to go at the night to drinks some pints with friends and who knows? to spend the night there. read more

I love this place and have been back on numerous occasions. The vibe is nice and cosy, the bar staff are good fun and the selection of beers and ciders - passion fruit cider, anyone? - is great. I'll definitely be back, again! read more

Oshin is the best! Hes awesome. This place is great. We are from out of town and all the bartenders are super friendly. Mike and Dave are great. I love this bar read more

Ridiculously dark with some comfy seating and some couches that were clearly dragged from a dump. Friendly pleasant staff except for the bar man who seemed to take the hump when I asked for a new glass of wine because there was lipstick and finger prints on the inside and outside of my glass. He really didn't understand why I'd ask for a fresh wine, not just a new glass. read more

This pub is awesome! It combines Irish pub charm with good craft beer and great food!

Good beer selection, with Irish and International Micro & Macro Brews and the staff is on the ball. They do have Guinness and do a mean pour. read more

The first place I visited since landing from Stockholm. I love the atmosphere, the dark ambience with candles on the table. The staff was amazingly helpful with drink tips. I had house red and quinoa salad with sweet potatoes. I mean you can't really go wrong with quinoa salad but this had carmelized nuts took the whole thing to a new level. Will definitely go there again but this time at night. read more

Friendly staff, good selection of 'regular' beers and 'craft' beers alike. Plenty of space and free sweets and bars that have more 'E''s in them than a bus load of 'creamfields' revellers! A place I'll return to again and again. It has a grunge feel to it which I love but which scares me too as I'm old enough to reminisce on my younger Grunger days. read more

Lovely pints of craft beer, old school crisps, a private cosy snug by the window and friendly helpful bar staff. What's not to like? Will definitely go back! read more

Absolutely delicious food and the only beer I've ever liked in my life. Visited for a quiet lunch with my friend, her dog and my son. We had divine chicken wings, and shared a chicken curry and chicken burger. Huge portions and so so tasty. Can't wait to go back again to try out more food! read more

It's central, quirky and good for groups which is why there's a rather large proportion of work drinks. The staff is friendly and you can order food. It's a bit tricky to maneuver because there's a LOT of bulky furniture and personally it made me feel a tad claustro, but it does the job. read more

In the heart of Dublin... a great gem to find! Such a shame that we only discovered it on our last night there, but glad we did. Great atmosphere... fun... great food and drinks... definitely going back when I visit again. read more

Listen to me. Get the buttermilk chicken sandwich. It is the BEST chicken sandwich I've ever had. My husband agrees. The ambiance is great and the service is upbeat and polite. read more

I love this place! It has a very Alice in Wonderland, vintage, retro feel. Very funky place, love the little movie room and that you can write on the walls. Coffee could be better, but it's a microbrewery not a coffee shop. I really like all the games they have and delicious sweet potato fries, yum! Service is good, very friendly staff, maybe a bit slow, but doesn't take too much away from the experience. read more

Last Saturday 10/06, after working from 9am to serve people on the restaurant I work located just about 900 meters from Pmacs (where I go a few times for a couple of years, even in others pubs from them) I go around 11:30pm to meet my girlfriend and friends that were waiting for me. I say hello to my friends outside, go inside to meet my girlfriend thats is ordering a pint for me, and realised that the bouncer its staring at me while I'm going to the door to enter, where several people passed him and he continued to stare at me (don't know why?) and when I passed beside him, keeping loving me looking at my face I said: hello how are you doing? passing away to go inside. After the pint is finished outside, I try to go inside to have a piss and get more pints, where he stops me saying: you're not going to enter, you stepped on me!! And I was, what? After asking him 3 times to understand what he was saying, very surprised I ask him: I just got out from work, had one pint with my friends and you are saying to me that I'm drunk and stepped on you? He answered yes, exactly! and after I insisted totally surprised and pissed he says like you are not passing here! Ok I left and went back to join my friends. Sorry, I worked all day and this guy (probably discriminating me with the type of the other people with the way he was staring at me) in a naive and amateur action judges me with so sure of himself that I am drunk and don't let me in (because I stepped on him, uaaaauuuuu) while people stepping everywhere drunk are allowed to enter. After the second call to the floor staff that were outside, the manager came to talk with me. Very nice from him to come out from a busy night to talk with me and after the explanation he left saying to me to give him one minute where he would come back. After 30 min, waiting for my friends to finish their pint, I leave to go to another place to drink, even that they where about to close, but I am sorry I would not wait until I don't know what time to the manager come back to me. I prep the day and served more that 300 people, we are all on the same business here basically and I would not treat a costumer like that, even at the last minute. Sorry but this bouncer acted in a unprofessional and naive way with me, misjudging me "what ever he had" in his naive mind! I go out often in Dublin, I know many bouncers and I know that if I would have drunk a little bit excessively I would agree and don't argue. I am sorry, that wasn't the case and because of that I am writing that for who is going there to be aware with the type of behaviour that is possible to have it in Pmacs. I am very disappointed with you, and maybe I am not important and just another one, but I will not come back soon to your place! read more

Really cool bar with great selection of beer. The trouble brewing dark beer was my favourite. Pretty easy to get a drink on a Friday night. The crowd was ok - same problem as most cool Dublin bars - lacks a bit of openness and socialising. read more

Best pint you'll ever get ! they do their own craft beer..provide board games.. sell sweets ! awesome place ! nice crowd ! good buzz here

Best chicken burger I've ever tasted!! Sooo good. And the sauce that came with the chips was delicious too. The only issue I had was as a gastro pub some of the seats aren't too comfortable. The only table we could find had really low down couches so had to eat from our knees. Also the lighting is so dim it's difficult to see. It is a nice quirky pub though with a range of craft beers. read more

We had a really lousy experience two days in a row.... Even though it was attached to the hotel and very convenient, we quit going there.

Love this bar! Grab a drink and find a sofa to relax for the evening. Nice chilled atmosphere!

Ok I think the guys that own this and Cassidys must have a bit of a formula for setting up bars :) Gut an existing pub, add some hipster barstaff with lots of bears/tats, spray random graffiti around the jacks, add some craft beers, loud rock and a sprinkling of retro dentist visit inducing sweets and hey presto you have a new bar! This recipe seems to be working cos both these places are heaving at weekends. I like the craft beers and the bar but its still layed out pretty bad. Bia Bar which it replaces was a disaster and it is an improvement over Bia Bar. But if you don't have a seat and in a group, it's a bit like having a pint in a corridor with people bumping and shoving past you every 30 seconds and that's when its not even that busy cos the tables take up 80% of the bar space! read more

A great spot! It can get very busy at the weekends but it's well deserved. The staff are great, friendly and good craic too. There are free board games to play, they have a large selection of craft beers, and they sell old-school chewy Refresher bars, Fruit Salad sweets, etc. behind the bar too. There are cosy snugs that are great if you can nab one for groups of friends. It's a very hipster place but has a great atmosphere. read more

We got the wings and Parm fries with bacon. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend.

Food is really good, lots of options. Really cool vibe with a lot of different craft beers. Gets really busy at weekends so better to go early. read more

Fantastic chicken sandwich, even better beer list. Phenomenal service. These people know their stuff! I'm visiting from Southern California and was shown around Ireland by a whirlwind of a beer tasting in the best way possible. What a fantastic establishment. I've been back twice already :) read more
