The best Sunday session in Dublin! 2 for 1 cocktails (My fair lady and long island being the best) or 40% off. Tapas are served after 5 and DJ's play until late. Arriving early on a sunny day is a must as you can grab yourself a seat outside, soaking up the atmosphere on the street as well as inside. 5 euro in after 4 or 5 o' clock and if you are already there they will give you a stamp! One of the best places to come with a big group of friends for cocktails/drinks or pre-drinks for a night out! Strictly over 21s. read more

Pygmalion - It's going to be legendary! - Dance Clubs Near Me - Dublin, D

Pygmalion is the Mecca for late night dancing on a budgét. Normally gets going from five on weekends, so be sure to get there early for some outside Sears (where all the chicks are ;) Dance floor is cosy so don't be shy. No really don't be shy because you are going to be very close to all those around, grinding isn't a choice here. What stands out for me is the vibe in pug. It's low key and atmosphere.. Cocktails aplenty!! read more

If I could rate this place zero I would. Was there last night with friends after work, for a birthday. The barman who served me was unbelievably rude. I ordered drinks and he went to prepare them. I then went to add another two drink to the order, for other people in the group and I was met with the extremely sarcastic and condescending response of ..."Is THAT it ??.....Are you going to add any more to the order???'. I couldn't believe how I had been spoken to and had it not been for the fact that we were there for a birthday, I would have up and left. Sorry for trying to spend more money in your bar Pygmalion. I assure you, I won't happen again :D read more

A very nice pub, large and well laid out. Like a good burger very well done and well served. Good presentation and a great guinness.

After years of going here and my raving review me and my friends were refused from this place for not being "regulars" very disappointed altogether!! They have lost a lot of business now. read more

Bleah. This time I went in a good mood and gave it a chance. First opinion still stands- a place filled with mazes, impossible bar queues, filthy toilets and constantly squawking girls just doesn't do it for me. Just not my scene! read more

A few weeks ago, a friend and I had a wonderful time at the Pyg. The music was amazing and the atmosphere was magnificent. We entered the club with a guy and were absolutely piss drunk. However, my friends and I tried to get into this pub tonight and were denied access because we were "too drunk". This was not the case and we believe it to be because we did not have a male accompanying us. This behavior was uncalled for and what I deem to be sexist and racist as a few of my friends were not native English speakers. Needless to say we will not be returning to Pygmalion unless there is an adequate apology and some sort of compensation for our unjust treatment. read more

Review is for drinks not the food- great place to sit outside in the summer months in Dublin as they have tables on the street. The cocktails are expensive at 13 euro each so make sure you go for their 2 4 1 deal on the weekdays. They're delicious though! Get the Paloma Fizz or the tangle twister. They have DJs playing, the venue is big inside, I believe there's also a Shisha bar too. Also if you're single and ready to mingle, there are some good looking people here! read more

Great place. Love the atmostphere, and the seats are very comfortable. However, I can't give it 5 stars because of the strange ice chipping technique of the staff. Ice cubes were raining down on our table all night, and my friend's shirt got soaked as the ice melted. read more

Ok. Pros: -Atmosphere was great. Friday night was packed, first we sat near the entrance outside, then they told us we need to go inside- which was allright, they gave us a stamp and we can continue drinking our stuff... which was -Another good thing- Mojito was freshly prepared, [not like from a pre-mixed stuff in Hairy Lemon! :P ] in front of me by ... -Extremely cool & friendly barman -Same goes to Ms Barman - very nice girl. -Also, women will acknowledge nice waiters overall lol -Nice music. Finally a place to dance! -Nice mix up - place to sit, drink, talk, dance and also a bigger one upstairs with different lighting Cons: -Toilets too small, too packed with people.. -Girls told me that on some moment they were approached by a barman saying that our place was reserved be4 by someone else but somebody removed the sticker. Well, not sure about it because I was not there at the moment but overall we could stay longer anyway Overall, I will come back. read more

If you like a trendy and funky place where you can enjoy cocktails and drink in a cool way, defenitely you need to go to the pigmalion. It looks like a new york bar in the soho. read more

Had lunch in this spot a couple of weeks ago . The one thing that sticks out to me the most is the service , we were greeted by an energetic and friendly waiter who really made our experience , it really is only when you get fantastic service in Ireland you realise how poor some places can be . He was a young guy with his hair tied back who was charming and funny , we were particularly indecisive that day and he helped us make our decision which was the chicken quesadilla. Now the food was good but nothing to write home about , however the service along with the outside area which was comfortable and cool means we will return . I would recommend more for lunch with drinks rather than the food alone . read more

This place is not my cup of tea. The layout makes it next to impossible to get from one side to the other without bumping into loads of people and there are a lot of people, far too many. The toilets are in the most awkward place and the taps in the ladies were not working when I visited with a sign to use the ones in the bar, ick no thanks. I left instead. read more

Possibly the worst service I have received. 20 minutes to have order taken, 20 minutes to be served and the food was incomplete and cold. No good points whatsoever. read more

Cool area for people watching. BBQ pulled pork sandwich at lunch is one of the bests I've ever had

I have eaten at the Pyg (which I assume is related), but had never come to the cocktail bar before. There is a small area where people pack in (and I mean that) to dance. It's really just a very trendy and cool place to hang out and have some drinks. There was a worker walking around that was so quick to remove glasses that she took several of our drinks before we were actually finished with them. Also, the lower bar that you pass on your way to the toilets creates a very tight space to move through, and some of the seating is very peculiarly placed and situated making it hard to get in, out and around people. The best part is the location of Pygmalion; very close to a lot of other places so you can easily pop in for one cocktail and then go somewhere else if you wish. It's fun and we had a very enjoyable night here despite the few negatives. read more

Ahhhh the pyg...one of my most favourite places in Dublin to have food and drinks....been here so many times and just had such great days/nights out. If you are looking for somewhere chilled during the day, this is the spot to go. I went here last week actually, sat outside in the sunshine and ordered one of the chicken baps. It was sooooooo tasty. Ive had Tapas here too once before and they were yum and good value!!! Waitress service was excellent, they were so efficient and really lovely girls. Sometimes on a busy day/night the bar can be abit of a pain but it gets forgiven quickly because I just always have a good time :-) read more

I don't drink anything but Guinness when in Dublin, so I was pleased with my cold pint. This place is super cute. I love the decor, and how it opens into the courtyard shopping area as well as boasting outdoor seating. I stopped in for a drink with some friends during the afternoon, I'd come back at night. Seems like a fun place. read more

Midweek, here does a fantastic deal of 2-for-1 on some delicious cocktails! I was there on a Friday when they have a DJ. To be honest, the music was too loud considering the lack of dancing, etc. Took away from the atmosphere a bit. read more

I really like this place as a pub, it is in a great location and is a great choice on a Sunday as it gets busy relatively early when most other places are quiet. I would actually give it full marks, based on their chips alone, which are OUTSTANDING. However, they lose vital points due to an unimaginative beer selection and really bad Guinness. read more

Love the place . Have been many times and always have a good night. Whether you up for chats in the smoking area or dance it ticks all boxes . They've half price cocktails on a Sunday. The smoking area is a great spot on a sunny day . Perfect for people creeping . That coupled with the half price cocktails on a Sunday have led to many a rough Monday for me read more

Was there for two hours on Friday night (yesterday, 30 Oct). Slowest bar service ever. Ever. Everyone I was with remarked on it. read more

Was in PYG with some of my cousins no one really liked it staff seemed pretty rude too! music was pretty bad not my thing at all!

Can see pyg from the window of my job and spend at least 3 to 4 nights a week here buying food and there lovely cocktails but to the head into my local at 9.30 of a sunday night and be refused by the ignorant door man one standing looking like he's afraid of his shadow and the other doing all the talking to say he didn't know our faces when we are usual attendees to the bar since it's opened had officially ruined my opinion of there establishment I have heard that the door staff where difficult to deal with but had never actually had any encounters with them as usually I am there befor 7pm when they are at the door until tonight I feel they don't fit the laid back lovely vibe of the club and clearly don't know the cliental if they knew none of our 8 faces when we all work on south William street rudeness is an understatement read more

Terrible service. Rude staff. Overall obnoxious. Visited earlier today to enjoy a drink with my girlfriend while we awaited the arrival of our friends to have brunch in a local restaurant. I was refused service as I was not over the age of 21. The barmaid was obnoxious and bitter. I will not be returning. read more

I have read some reviews here and wow... I don't know about everybody on here but this place is my go to place always! The atmosphere is awesome nice people! A lot of tourist! I've always had fun and the employees are so sweet. The bouncers are also nice and friendly but don't be a prick if not they will kick you out ASAP. Drinks are not so cheap and not so expensive. The music is like minimal/aperitif music. Outside the smoking area has heaters that it feels like your inside! If your thinking about going and reading this review... GO check it out for yourself of not just leave as there in hundreds of bars right next door. read more

Located on South WIlliam Street, which is, like, a posh Camden Street, if you will, Pyg...whatever the stupidly spelled name is was a real let-down for me. Fair enough, I skipped the queue because half the doormen used to work for me but trying to get a drink was torturous and being in the trade myself, this is a huge disadvantage to any bar. It's not just that it was busy (and I'll admit, it was), it's the fact that the staff were dismal. The bar was 5 deep on the night I went in and I couldn't really see a reason for it. I have worked in the bacardi tent at oxegen and the electric picnic and know how to whip out 8 mojitos a minute to a neverending surge of thirsty punters so service like what I saw in Pyg...wossitcalled really gets under my skin. I was tempted to jump in and serve half the bar myself. Anyone with half decent experience and a bit of self pride and drive would have done a better job. Maybe its not their fault and it's the fault of whoever their supervisor/bar manager is. This person needs to be locked up in a dark room and forgotten about. In short. ....pyg...wossname......erm... no thanks read more

2 for 1 cocktails and surprisingly good food. This place is the best for people watching.

Good place if you want to have few drinks and some food. The weekends are always full of people and the ambiance become a mix between lounge bar and nightclub. read more

The staff are very rude! Would not go back because of how rude they were. After being told to move for the second time! (first time we were moved after a few hours because the table was reserved) second time we were told to move because there wasnt suppose to be a chair where it was, even though it was there when we got there, the women was very rude about it, told us to move while we were still drinking and gave us no other alternative! It was busy and was pretty much told us either stand or leave! Her exact words were 'this chair better not be here when i get back'. Wouldn't advise anyone to go here! read more

The worst pints of beer in Dublin. Have been a couple of times with work people, but will avoid in future. First pint of Heineken was flat and they refused to change for another drink when I told asked them. Carlsberg wasn't much better either. My friends were wise to stick to bottles as the pints were slop. read more

great tapas! great nightlife. i used to go every fortnight or so for years as i worked in the area in a well known store for many years! but the security can be rude for no reason, which really turned me off. I had out of town friends down in dublin (a bunch of girls) and the security wouldnt allow them in saying they werent regulars. and i couldnt believe this as i had been going for years and never heard the likes and it was only 9.30pm! after i explained i was a regular and these are from out of town and i recommended this place and he still said well he doesnt know me, i then asked to speak to a manager and turned to my friends and said no this is unfair we will just speak to the manager and then the bouncer instantly said look yous can go in, im not the type to cause a scene so i didnt push it but honestly that really turned me off the place and i stopped arranging nights out there. im a respectful fair person who works in luxury retail and my friends were very smartly dressed and sober as they hoped to get tapas! and I just remember feeling embarrassed for the situation and knowing it was complete ignorance. read more
