Wandering around downtown Dublin, not particularly looking for a place to eat and came upon Sheehan. We were glad that we did. It is off the beaten path and it is a gem. The staff was great, the food was fantastic. The ambience is vintage Irish pub definitely will go back again. Next time I am in Dublin.
We really enjoyed this Irish pub experience. Lots of Dubliners so we knew it was good. We shared a corned beef sandwich and it was just what we hoped for. Topped it off with a Guiness and couldn't have asked for more.
Quick review for a quick lunch stop. We shared an Irish Lamb Stew: meat and vegetables in gravy with a layer of mash(ed potatoes) on top. The meat and veggies were plentiful, the portion generous, and it was tasty enough but maybe on the bland side? It was served with a side of braised red cabbage which we really liked: sweet but not sour like pickled cabbage. And house-made brown stout bread, also very good. The wife had a Guinness and I, thinking it too cliché to order Guinness as a tourist in Ireland, tried a different stout whose name I've forgotten from the ample selection. But comparing the two, so much better! The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Irish dishes, more than most of the similar pubs in the area. As well as the other expected pub type food: sandwiches, burgers, etc. As for desserts, if we were hungrier, the wife might have ordered the Irish Whiskey Bread & Butter Pudding. The hubby would probably get his dessert later, as the selection was limited and neither that nor the Apple Crumble appealed. Sitting at the bar we had a more personalized experience than were we at a table. The bartender offered to take a photo of me behind the bar which I of course accepted. We made the right choice in coming here.
We loved our dinner at Sheehan's Pub. We had the house beef pie, fish and chips, and the whiskey bread and butter pudding, and everything was so comforting and satisfying. The only thing we weren't super impressed by was the bread pudding, nothing special to us. The Jameson with ginger and lime cocktail was also a great drink choice. It had the cozy Irish pub feel we were hoping for, with really good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Service was super friendly and gave great recommendations. Great spot for a classic Dublin pub dinner.
Highly recommend. Service was good. Very typical pub atmosphere. Fish chowder was tasty. Lots of good size pieces of fish in it. Very filling for a starter. Fish and chips were delicious. Spouse enjoyed the beef stew.
We were on a tour of Ireland and stopped by Sheehan's for our first dinner in Ireland. Beautiful building outside, it was what you want it to look like, when you walk inside. It was busy, as I assume it always is, but when I asked a server if there was seating downstairs, she was very abrupt and rude. She said there wasn't any tables available. We noticed a free table and another very nice server offered to clear it for us. He was very kind, but the original rude server took our order, she wasn't so bad as time went on. If she would've been nice, I would have given this a 5 star review. We ordered a pint and a Jameson and Ginger to drink and ordered dinner right away. We ordered a beef and Guinness pie and fish and chips. Both were delicious and we were very happy with our choices.
Was very pleased with our experience. Food was delicious. Our server was great, the location is perfect pub vibes. Will definitely return if we come back to Dublin.
Watched the Rugby game and the atmosphere was awesome. They have several levels with bars . Our server was spot on and the Guinness we perfect.
Walked in alone. Friendly staff, brought me some samples drinks and gave me recommendations. Seafood chowder is creamy and full of different ingredients; not salty at all, the fresh pea sprouts added a tinge of sweetness and different layers of flavor to the chowder. Like the chewy but flavorful House stout bread which comes with chowder. So surprisingly to have live music on site. The guitarist and his beautiful music is truly a plus to my Irish night pub experience.
Visiting Ireland for the first time, I did my best to read up on good places to grab lunch/dinner in Dublin and Sheehan's Pub popped up on a few lists, Reddit posts, so I put it on my list to try and I'm glad I did! I walked in on a Wednesday evening, around 6:30pm, to a packed pub! Since it was only me, I was able to get a seat at the bar in the center. There were quite a few tables and I'm pretty sure there was more upstairs but they were packed so I was grateful for the spot at the end of the bar. Inside was clean, dark, and cozy with a couple TVs playing sports throughout. The young gentleman behind the bar that took care of me was accommodating and courteous, and did a nice job helping me decide what to order for dinner. I sipped on a "Clockwork Velvet Stout" from Changing Times Brewery and took in the ambiance as I waited for dinner. It took a bit for my meal to arrive but it was worth the wait. I ordered their Beef & Guinness Pie, which is slowly cooked prime Irish beef in a rich Guinness and vegetable sauce, topped with mashed potatoes and served with mint peas and a slice of brown bread. This was so delicious and hearty! The layer of mashed potatoes on top elevated the look of the dish and tasted great. The beef was incredibly tender and the sauce was excellent. The mint peas on the side were refreshing and the slice of brown bread was perfect to soak up every bit of that sauce. Sheehan's Pub was a solid spot. Even with how busy they were, the staff were courteous and the food they're serving up was delish and plentiful. If I come back to Dublin, I'd have no issue coming here for dinner and pint again!
Amazing spot in downtown Dublin, second visit now on this trip. The beef pie was life changing! The setting is absolutely what you're looking for.
3 of us shared the chicken shepherds pie and the Guinness beef shepherds pie plus an order of onion rings. OMG! Fantastic! Great service and cozy making our Sunday comfort food day perfect. We could t think of anything that could have been better!
Wonderful divey pub that played 80's top 40's the night we were there. First thing they do is make sure you have a drink. Love that! We ordered the Lamb Stew and the Fisherman's Pie. The Fisherman's pie was like the best ever New England chowder but with smoked fish and then covered with mashed potatoes and baked. Even the side order of mint peas (with a peppery touch) were excellent. The Lamb Stew was okay. Nothing exciting (if you have a picky eater, who likes lamb and potatoes, this would do the trick.) The bartenders were very attentive.
Stopped here for a light meal and drink before closing. The downstairs bar area was busy so we headed upstairs where it was much more quiet. The staff members were wonderfully. We were waited on by servers as well as the lovely bartender, Bella. Great service all around! I ordered the seafood chowder and I will be dreaming about this meal for a long time. It was loaded with fresh fish and so perfectly seasoned. The portion size was excellent - I wish more places offered smaller portions like this. The drinks were wonderful and made with care. Bella came by to chat with us before we left and it was obvious she loves her job. This is a lovely pub to enjoy while visiting Dublin! read more

Pros: - Cocktails - Cole slaw - Potato soup Cons: - Corned beef dry - Onion rings greasy and didn't taste like beer - Bread pudding fake chemical vanilla flavoring read more
Stopped in for lunch and we're seated promptly at a table for two. Need to mention that seating is either high top or booth and stool seating. Stools are ok but not super comfortable. Menu has a good selection of Irish dishes from seafood chowder up to lamb stew and pies. We ordered the potato soup, seafood chowder, 'banjo' burger with onion rings. The soups arrived first and the seafood chowder was loaded with huge pieces of fish, potatoes (not many) with a creamy rich base. Flavor was incredible and in itself a full meal. Served in a large crock style bowl. The potato soup was minus any whole potatoes. It was a rich creamy base with plenty of flavor and very hearty. The burger was really a double cheeseburger with plenty of cheese, grilled onions, what appeared to be a mayonnaise based sauce on a soft hamburger roll. Really tall enough that it was tough getting your mouth around it. Very well seasoned burgers and the onions were a nice touch. The onion rings were huge and had a very light batter on them. They served in a metal bowl to keep them hot. For dessert the apple crumble was ordered which was served in a large dish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This could have been warmer but still was good.. The 5 star rating is for the chowder as it outshone the rest of the meal although the burger was definitely a close second. Definitely will return to try other dishes when we come back to the city. read more

We had excellent service here and the place was packed! I wanted to come here so I could finally get authentic Irish fish & chips and it exceeded my expectations. Me and my fiancé both got the fish & chips and it was the perfect golden color and the chips were thick and soft in the middle, not crazy about mushy peas in the first place so I didn't really eat it. Surprisingly though the actual star of the meal was the potato soup I ordered as a starter! It was so good that I almost ordered another bowl but knew I wouldn't have room for my main meal and that's the one and only reason I didn't order more. I'm salivating now writing this review and thinking of that darn soup. Our server was amazing, very pleasant and attentive. Great spot/pub I recommend in Dublin. read more

This was the best meal we had in Dublin! I ordered the seafood chowder and the fish and chips and my husband ordered the Guinness beef pie and the toastie with chips. We loved all of it. The seafood chowder was the best I've ever had it had big chucks of what looked like crap and fish so so good. Definitely will go back next time we visit. read more

Owned by the Sheehan family for generations, this pub is truly fantastic. The building goes back to 1840 with the beautiful hand carved bar being a highlight. The staff were so friendly and Mr Sheehan gave me a sample of a new beer which was launched today in Dublin. The potato soup and bread were some of the best I've had. I'm from Colorado in the USA and this pub is great!!! read more
In my last night in Dublin on a day where the sun blessed the sky and thoughts of upcoming St Patrick's Day celebrations were on my mind, I sought out a Traditional Irish pub of long standing near the Temple Bar area but not too touristy. The ambiance is in inviting end friendly from the downstairs pub to the upstairs dining, rich in pinned leather and dark wood, it all looked very comfortable place to hang out and near live music venues. The service was timely, engaged and with a pleasant demeanor, especially being that I am not a local and anti-American sentiment exists due to current changes in diplomacy. I had a side salad, then a Guinness which is always perfectly poured in Ireland as a point of National pride, and the corned beef and cabbage with parsley sauce. The sauce didn't sound great but I had not had my traditional meal at least annually of corned beef while in Ireland, but the sauce was really good and while the beef was a bit dry, the sauce made the dish so much better. This would be a great place for a large group or party and offered some large seating areas but with some seclusion as well as smaller tables together. A good meal and a good experience overall! read more
The food was amazing and delicious! The grilled cheese sandwich was the best we've ever had, and the potato soup was also incredible. The corned beef and cabbage was hearty and the beef was very lean. The service was prompt and friendly. A classic traditional pub with decor and seating areas. read more

Ok- we ate at Sheehans 3 times while in Dublin. We're not proud of it- we know there ate lots of great places in Dublin, but nothing seemed to top Sheehans. The Seafood Chowder is stellar. The Beef and Guinness pie was incredible. The mint peas were the best we had in Ireland. Everything we tried here was delicious. In addition to the delicious food- the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend making a trip to this pub! read more

Nice little pub with great corned beef and cabbage, which was on our list to have while in Ireland. I'm giving it five stars because this dish was so good. The other fish we had- the Guinness stew was just ok for me. It seemed bland in flavor, although the side of buttered peas was really good. The beer was cold and service was warm. Overall a great pub for a cozy lunch on a cold day in Dublin. read more
