The cocktails and food were excellent. It's a long time since I was in a bar with no tv it was so nice. People mixing some playing darts, looks so much fun definitely on my to do list. I would have never thought this was for me but I really enjoyed it, I recommend anyone to give it a try. Definitely 2 cheers

What an awesome concert venue! This place has a small bar as soon as you walk in and plenty of…read morestanding room on the first floor plus, a second floor balcony. There's screens so you can see the performances even from further away. To the right of the concert venue is another pub which connects through a small corridor. That bar seemed to go on forever with multiple rooms and different floors. They even had an outdoor smoking area which had a silent disco and I heard that they offer karaoke on some nights. The drinks were cheap and the bartenders were efficient. The sound was great during the entire concert. The audience in Dublin was a kind of energy I've never seen at a concert and if I were a musician, I'd totally want to play here. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Dublin and looking for live music!

I personally was not a fan of the entree but the dessert was delicious. There's also an option to order food that's not included in the ticket. The dancers and singers are so talented. The waitress we had wasn't the friendliest, but we had so much fun interacting with the entertainers! The inside is huge and very clean. No matter where you sit you will see the dancers perform and see and hear the singers and musicians. The entire experience was worth the price!

My favorite stop on the pub crawl, probably because the music was great (a guy with a guitar…read moreplaying live American rock and roll) and it wasn't terribly loud. Maybe the shot of tequila that we got for being on the pub crawl helped? It's dark, there isn't a lot of seating, and you'll be hard challenged getting the bartender's attention. Otherwise, a good stop.

I even decided to take a snooze, lying on one of their benches one time and wasn't disturbed by bar staff. I'm not sure how that reflects on The Mezz itself, but I had pleasant dreams. Word of advice: don't try the 'ass juice' shot. As tempting as it sounds...it's not very good.

I'm from Los Angeles, CA and met a group of Americans from Boston in this bar. It was the best time I had in Dublin. I wish I had known about Riot bar during my whole stay in Ireland. It is great for tourists. The vibe is amazing and I would definitely go back.

It checks all the boxes of being downstairs, low ceilings, late Victorian decor, bartenders with beards and period clothing, etc. - plus a long list of mixology-type drinks. Let me description of the place sound like a slam. We had a really great time. There is a deep menu of drinks made from all kinds of stuff. We ordered all kinds of stuff and every drink was excellent. The prices were very reasonable as well. We sat on some comfy couches and there was a DJ plating some really great down tempo, yet still dance-able music. The hours flew by as we had an excellent time.

I got the fish and chips and was underwhelmed by the dish to say the least. There's better places to go to get that, and I only ordered it because they were out of loaded potatoes. On the positive note we came back when it flipped to a club. Super fun that you have live music during normal business hours and then a full party at night. The dj was pretty good for the most part and then adding a live trumpet and saxophone player was cool too. Definitely fun vibes. Also love that it is multi leveled but sad that not all levels were available to explore. Great that they have multiple bars to order from and all their bartenders are kind and quick. Restrooms were well maintained as well as any spills that hit the dance floor.

On Friday night in October this place was hopping! We wondered in (after touring Jamison…read moredistillery) looking for some drinks, food and music. Service and management were outstanding. Even though they were busy they found us a small table in bar area near the live music and fun. Drink service was fast and accurate. Food - we had appetizers and all were excellent.

One of my favorite pubs in Dublin without question. Its hard to sum up what I like of this place…read morebut it's just got a great atmosphere and vibe. You can usually find me in the awesome smoking area, It's a great to meet new people and enjoy your pint. On a busy / sunny night the beer garden spills out onto the pedestrian lane at the back. The live music is great with different types of music each night and I love the Jazz on a Sunday. The prices are great too with a house pint at only €4,50 and cocktail specials. Im really sad to hear the news that they will be closing down in june

SO,I was in here last night and I vowed to my friends on the way home that I would write a review…read moreabout it this morning when I woke up.Here it is dearest friends and other interested parties!! We were a group of about 10 and had booked tables and some platters of food previously in the week, all good! Anyway we walked up to the Dame lane entrance door at about 6 o clock shivering from the cold and we were welcomed into a warm cosy bar with four trad musicians playing away in the corner, it looked perfect to me! Our tables were upstairs so I unwillingly left the musicians behind and went to find our tables. The decor is really lovely in this place, big comfortable leather couches and funky chairs are dotted around the place.Deep reds and dark woods cover other surfaces giving a warm intimate feeling to the place despite the spacious room we were in. The platters of food we ordered arrived, well, some of the platters arrived and we all dug in. The food did not disappoint at all! Spring rolls, sausages and wedges were served in dinky little bowls surrounding a centre piece which was a cake stand adorned in mushroom vol au vants and brown bread and salmon, very tasty indeed! We were satisfied with the food we had so when the waitress asked if we wanted more we politely declined. The room started to fill up eventually so we decided to ask for the bill.Our jaws dropped when it came. They had charged up for more than we had actually gotten,after a bit of battle with some staff our bill was reduced a small bit but they insisted that because we had pre-ordered a certain amount of platters we had to pay for them."But we didnt even get the other platters" we exclaimed! "The waitress didnt bring them to us!" It Didn't matter, we still had to pay! Big fat boo to Le Cirk right there! Minus two stars straight away! Other than that I actually quite liked the place! The mix of people is incredible you have men with an abundance of facial hair and some with no hair on their heads at all, others wore those irish tweedy caps at a jaunty angle! The girls were varied, there were funky ladies with those straight short fringes and red lips or there were a couple with dread locks and then there were just normal looking girls,watever normal is, who ever you are and whatever your style you are going to fit in here. The music, well I actually asked my friends last night how they would describe the music in Le Cirk and we were at an absolute loss, thinking about it now with a more sober head I think that the mix and style of music is reflected in the type of people you find there, varied and eclectic and full of an "anything goes" kind of attitude.
