Well with our name being Slattery we had to go there. Actually been there many times and once on St Patrick's Day. We were in Dublin for the Notre Dame Navy football game with our family so we all went to Slattery's to enjoy the festive environment. Crowded was the word of the day but the Irish still know how to celebrate even with 50,000 of their closest friends visiting from the states. We found a table in side and the fun began. With drinks all around we ordered bar food that was good. "Slattery's Bar is located at 129 Capel Street in Dublin. Our Bar is a genuine authentic Heritage Dublin bar with all the character and buzz you would expect. Loved by locals and frequented by some of Ireland's music and movie legends a visit to Dublin isn't complete without a visit to Slatterys" from their website. Varied menu and a must see in Dublin as is Jameson's distillery, a visit to the Cliffs of Mohr, and the Guinness factory. A historic trip. read more

How did I not know about this place for so long!? It's very you can find... well, everyone on a Friday or Saturday night. It's a great place to start your night and you're sure to bump into lots of people you know here. I went recently for the first time and people couldn't believe it, it's THE place to go. Very busy, good bar, good music and generally good fun. read more

Slattery's - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

An unexpected find in neighborhood of Dublin. Inventive dishes like roasted peaches and buffalo mozzarella with seafood linguine topped off by thick chocolate mousse sprinkled with toffee. Great place also for fired pizza. read more

I hate to see other people do this, but I'm giving Slattery's a negative rating based on bad customer service during one experience. Something as basic as asking "are you finished" would have given me a radically different night. The night I went in, it was packed with people who work nearby. I was standing at the bar upstairs with a group of friends. It was absolutely hopping and it looked like the one lady behind the bar was falling a bit behind. So this Irish staff member rushes in from downstairs like his behind is on fire. He's clattering glasses together, running into people, spilling on the floor in his rush to "help," and very obviously losing efficiency the more he hurries. In one of these rushes, he "clears" my half-full bottle of beer, dropping it into a bin behind the bar, before running away to go do some more damage- I mean help. As he runs back out the bar to the seating area, I catch him and try to speak to him about it. We have a "Move!" "Wait." "MOVE!" "Stop." MOVE!!" "NO!" match. He screams, "I'm BUSY!" I say, "Hold on a second." He says, "I don't have TIME" and begins to rant, tossing in expletives. I say "Stop. I'm angry." He says, "I'm angry too!" I tell him, "STOP. Listen. You just binned my beer. I wasn't done yet." What does he do? He fishes the old bottle out of the bin and slams it down on the bar with a glare, then sprints away to go deliver a baby or dismantle a nuclear bomb or something. I don't care whether or not the customer's always right; she's always, ALWAYS entitled to finish her drink. read more

Popped in here to use the loo and have a quick drink. The barman seemed a little deaf when I asked for a Lucozade as he asked again what I wanted as though he mis-heard me. Lucozade kind of shoved at me with a glass of ice and a slice of lemon which I handed back and asked for a plain glass. Bar staff could do better BUT a very good looking man smiled at me so they obviously get a better class of client than staff so 5 stars for him! read more

I would have always said this is a good, honest traditional sort of irish pub. it does well during rugby season and has a good reputation. However, last night 2 packets of peanuts and a pint cost me 7.40 or so - so, celtic tiger is not all that dead in Slatterys then!? no, no time for that sort of crap read more

What one should expect from local pub? locals? Check. Cosy fireplace during cold evenings? Check. Great atmosphere during rugbai on tele? Check. I could go like this for a while, but honestly Slatterys is great pub, and if you into sports (I've only recently become semi-fan of rugbai) it even better. There is always good craic and pints are flowing efficiently. Some say there is angel among bar staff. I say there is definitely one and she is Angel and delivering pints with speed of light when pub is crowded and you are out for ciggy. Whats the downside? Only reasonable pub in the hood so don't expect hideout from people, most of the times is packed as hell. Sometimes pint of Smithwicks (my favorite ale in Ireland) is just not right. Beside that it doesn't get better. Roll on and get your own pint of black and plainly enjoy the time passing by! read more

The waitress going around and serving drinks was Asian but with an Irish accent! Insane. Besides that curiosity, it was weird because we ordered drinks at the bar and then she said she'd bring them out to us. How nice, the 6 of us thought. Turns out she pays the bartender and brings the drinks out and then we pay her. So, I couldn't use credit card and felt like a complete noob. Oh well - she can rest her weary legs knowing that in the future, I won't be relying on her services for the rest of the night. In fact, I let her rest for the additional two rounds of Smithwick's we had. read more

Came here for the Ireland vs England 6 Nations game and, even though I could hardly see a TV, it was a lot of fun. Everyone who goes there is going to be really into the game so you know that will be a good time. We were upstairs and could hardly move, and it seemed the same downstairs and worse outside! If you want a seat you need to get there over 2 hours before the game starts! Service was somehow great even though they were slammed. My only problems were the lack of seats (there were other places seats could have been put in), lack of food (ended up leaving early because we thought they would serve, but it was too crazy with the amount of people), and not enough TVs read more

What has happened to the staff that work here?!?!? I used to love this place for after work drinks but the service is gone downhill.. There is a guy in his thirty's, dark hair with a marked lip and he is possibly one of the most obnoxious, rude, horrible bar tenders I've ever come across in my life. You should never have to feel obliged to be served a drink in a bar! The girl 'Angel' that takes drinks orders outside (as handy as the service is) is really pushy too. You literally get your drink and within one sip, she's down your nect to order another. I along with my colleagues will be taking our custom to The Bath after the terrible service we received last week, If the manager is reading this.. PLAY THE GAME dude!! read more

This is a brilliant spot to watch a match on a big screen, but it's only worth going if you show up about 2hours prior in order to ensure you nab a seat. The place will be positively bursting at the seems come kick-off and although the atmosphere is brilliant, there's not much point in going if you only manage a peeping-over-the-person-infront-of-you's-shoulder spot whilst being sardined between a hoard of sweaty footie fans!.. There's a spot out the back which is much more calm and spacious, but unfortunately it's not a great substitute for the main outside area as it has as much ambience as a decorated morgue. Really nice staff, always a plus read more

Good fun in this pub. I am usually here for the rugby, always crowded but with a good view screens and loads of seating. They recently extended the whole pub, so now you have like a good few more rooms plus the outside area. Gets even more people in =) read more

The first thing I had in Dublin was a pint of Guinness at Slattery's. Supposedly it's the proper thing to do. :) First of all, the Guinness IS better in Ireland. Don't know why, but it's completely wonderful to drink especially compared to the crap that is served elsewhere under the guise of Guinness. Second, the space is a classic pub and the service was friendly. Seats and small tables line the edge of the room and it seems like a good place to meet for a casual drink or to watch the game. Thumbs up! read more

Fun pub to have an after work pint or two (or three or four as was the case yesterday). Nice outdoor seating area that's perfect for groups to socialize in. We started with a group of about 6 and coworkers kept joining so we probably ended up with 15 by the end of the night. This is also where I had the pleasure of learning how the Irish pub scene works. Rounds are sacred and you must stay with your group, otherwise you make it complicated for everyone (you can see how this might be a problem after a few pints...) Anyways, Angel, our lovely waitress, was awesome about coming around often enough to get round orders and also did a good job of trying not to complicate it for us. Interestingly, the inside of the pub was dead empty while the outdoor patio was packed. I guess that's what happens on the rare occasion you get nice weather in Dublin! read more

Gets the busiest on Fridays, especially when it's nice out and you can sit on the patio in front. I prefer this place on a quieter Tuesday or Wednesday night just for a catch up with a friend after work. I did notice quite a lot of reviews about the staff - I've never really had an issue with them though - all the barmen have always been nice and friendly, and quick to serve a drink, even when it's crowded! read more

Slattery's to me wins by having kept the "old" atmosphere re being rather dark with the according furniture, having lovely staff and a good mixture of beer, craft beer and everything else you might want to drink. I'm usually here with a crowd and then we're in the back room. I think, that's not always open, but for bigger groups it's ideal. And of course the fact that they have a sheltered outside / smoking area is another added plus. So, I definitely am a fan. read more

The pub that starts the night off well... A watering hole which seems to fill with Google employee on Fridays, it's a comfy place to start the night with a few pints and a few laughs.A short cab ride as well from some fun bars and clubs. read more

Since the demise of its near neighbour Kitty O'Shea's and through the influx of young, moneyed professionals into the area, Slattery's has become the pub of choice for savvy locals. Ideal for a mid-week pint, it gets very busy on Fridays with the post-work crowd. There is limited seating and space can get tight and it is likely to get even busier when Lansdowne Road reopens for all things sporting. However, take a deep breath and focus on the huge window that looks onto the street; it gives an entertaining view of those unlucky few who are on their way home rather than heading in for a pint. read more

Not just another pub, there's something nice in this one. I have a good time everytime I go, service is alright, at least they are quick ;) Also cool place to go in Sandymount if there is a soccer match, big screen outside; always nice! read more

Stopped by here on our first night in Dublin. The place was busy, but we were able to snag two bar stools at the bar. We enjoyed our time talking to the bartender and having a pint of Guinness. Our hotel was just a few blocks away and we felt comfortable walking in the neighborhood at night. We definitely picked the right place to start our vacation at. read more

I often pass Slatterys as I live just around the corner and it always seems really lively, and looks like a nice place to go and watch a match. A mate of mine felt the same so we decided to head over and grab some grub for the football this morning. Pros: Rugby was on bit the barman put on the football for us on one of the TVs which was nice. Cons: There were flies everywhere. It was really off-putting, very hard to enjoy a pint when there were 4 or 5 flies constantly landing on us and circling our glasses. Such an unusual problem and one I've never had before. Maybe I caught the place on a bad day, but the interior decor and general tidiness (or lack thereof) was a big turn off. It just felt very grimey, which is unusual considering some of the positive reviews the place has. read more

The manager robbed my friend. He was nice as pie when taking the booking then hiked up the price when it came to paying. That is pretty horrible behaviour in my opinion and I will be avoiding "Slats" at all costs. The 51 and The Bath are much better options in the area. read more

Great local pub to stop in after work, or to catch a match on TV. It gets totally slammed when there's a game on at Aviva Stadium though, so check the schedule before you come expecting a relaxing atmosphere. They do a decent job of handling the crowd but it's still a madhouse. read more

How I feel about Slattery's in one sentence: Why go there when I can walk about 200 metres up the road and have a nicer pint of Guinness for about 50 cent less? read more

One of the pubs to hit for a cheeky after work pint. Their terrace is heated and on most recent visits they were handing out free pizza's for each table. Always have had a good time in Slatts. read more

This was our local pub while we were on holiday. It's great because it's tourist free! Very friendly staff and a great beer selection. We watched both an Ireland friendly and an England friendly on back to back nights and the TV's were easy to see and abundant. A great pub. read more

This is the local bar for my Dublin Google colleagues, given it's close proximity and quality pint of "black" (aka Guinness) that they serve. The inside is warm and cozy, with a nice fireplace and comfortable seating. The barmen are friendly enough, especially if you are in the company of regulars. They have seating outdoors year round, putting up partitions to create a reasonably well protected space during the colder months. All in all, a quality Dublin pub! read more

Typical Irish pub. Typical service, drinks, prices, etc. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but am perfectly happy to hang out for a pint or two. read more

We really enjoyed this local neighborhood pub near the Grand Canal Dock. We went on a Monday and it was slow, but we received good attention from the bartenders, and they helped us learn the ropes of Dublin pubs. Moving from Texas, we wanted to make sure we did things the right way. I heard this place can be crowded on the weekends, but I will definitely go back. Good drinks, and good prices. read more

I am torn on this review. It's one of my favourite pubs in Dublin and the world in general. Great for rugby games. The only issue is the same complaint as many others have. Then manager here seems to have such an attitude problem. Friend lost coat last night i was there and at end of night he asked manager who pretty much laughed in his face and was not helpful at all. I know many people with issues with this guy. It's a shame coz he runs a great spot. Angel the bar tender is great though and can remember 20 drinks orders at a time! I will always be back coz it's great craic! read more

Grab a pint enjoy your company. Didn't really have any good just had a few pints and enjoyed some.good conversation. They have a nice outside space some good music and what else can you ask for. read more

Pub food, but well done. Pizza and fries were very good. Salad and BLT good too. Not fast, but better than average for a pub.

There is something about this place that has me coming back every so often. It's not as polished as some of the other pubs within throwing distance but for me that's part of the attraction and charm. It's sort of dark with loads of nooks and crannies to hang out in. The staff are really nice and the selection of drinks above average. read more

This is technically my local but I had a pretty bad experience here two years ago with a rude member of staff and I have a strict rule as regards leaving money in a place that pissed me off. Anyway, despite this I decided to give Slatterys another go last Thursday night. As others have already posted - it really is a beautiful pub and the location is perfect. Rocked in with 2 mates and sat in a corner at the back - I went to order the pints and was told that we would have to move as there would be a party in that space in 2 hours. "But that's 2 hours away?" Didn't matter had to move, so went back and moved our coats etc and I returned to the bar to order a few pints. This time I was asked why I didn't wait for the waitress to come around? Bit surprised at this but got in the pints and returned to the lads. The waitress was obviously pissed at missing the chance for tips and so harassed us for the remainder of our drink, she actually put her hand on my glass twice to take it away before it was finished. Second drink and my mate refused to use the waitress because of her antics and so walked the 2 metres to the bar, once again asked why didn't he use the waitress? 20 minutes later and we're outside having a smoke, under a bit of time pressure so my other mate decides to get a swift pint in. Turns to head in and the waitress nabs him. Now this guy is a pretty non confrontational type of fellow so he orders off her and in fairness does get his drinks in decent time. Turns around to us and says "she stiffed me on the change by €3" Nice Crap service, rude staff & expensive pints. Do yourself a favour and head down to the Bath or else to the Oarsman where your service will be appreciated and you can have a drink in peace read more

Hmmm. Booked for a private function. Told they don't do food but have a deal with a nearby pizzeria & would offer pizzas at cost price. Fair enough, we thought. We're bringing them business but decent gesture all the same to collect the food & what not. So roll forward to the night & the manager, who had offered us the deal face-to-face & told us not to worry about food, reneged on it & demanded a 45% mark up per pizza - €16 versus €11 per pizza. Hardly the end of the world & the overall impact was only an extra €50 but it was underhand & his arrogance when reminded of the conversation a couple of days previously was pretty sickening. read more

Went here to watch a premier league game. Started off well, had great seats, waitress was excellent. This experience was marred by one rude barman, firstly he decided to move our table without asking us, nearly spilling all our drinks, then secondly decides that he wants to put on the rugby, moving nearly 90% of the pub upstairs for the second half. Snobbery at its finest, will not be going back there! read more

My girlfriend and I stopped in for a quick pint. Good service, nice area to sit, and of course a good pint. Reasonably priced and quick service. I would recommend to anyone in that part of town. read more
