This is the Irish Pub I had been looking for on our whole trip. Nice bar, good food and great music. This is the only place we found that had music starting before 9. We had a seat at the bar (there aren't many) and had a front row seat for the music. After a few pints, I settled on fish and chips. I am not really a fish fan, but this was outstanding. The fish was lightly breaded and fried and was cooked perfectly. Yum!!!! Music started and he was super entertaining. So glad we stopped here. read more

Had a really good time here. Had live music the nights were there. It was a little cold, but we sat outside because it was packed with locals for the music which was really cool old cemetery behind the pub. It was great to have a couple pints, and then walk through that at Duncan and check out some things and then go back in and hang out. I'd recommend it. read more

Maybe it was just our experience?! We were seated quickly and placed our orders to have a shepherds pie. Our waitress was extremely soft spoken. Our shepherds pie was served to us still frozen in the middle. We had to send it back, was very disappointed in our experience. read more

The Dingle Pub - Shepherds pie - Pubs Near Me - Dingle, Kentucky

A popular place in terms of its size and ability to handle large crowds. Tip: get here before 5:30 to get a seat for dinner. After 6, it is a waiting list. As I read the other reviews, I agree the food and service are about average. The Shepard's pie, for example, had a good portion of meat, but not a lot of flavor. The dinner crowd was treated to an older musical pair, but I think they were fine (unlike a reviewer who scored the place a 1 on that point). read more

We had dinner here our last night in town in late September. We were glad we came early arriving before 6 because the tables filled fast. Soon after we arrived people were being directed to the bar area to wait if they wanted a table for dinner. I had a Guinness and Guinness and beef pie with chips and salad. The Guinness was excellent as always, and the food was decent. The meat and mushrooms were in what was closer to a broth than being stew-like so a little tricky to eat with a fork. We finished with Dingle Core whiskey which was excellent. The music was the highlight of the experience here; the two musicians did a great job and I appreciated that the volume was perfect; it was easy to hear and enjoy but not so loud that you had to yell to communicate. Service was fast as they definitely want to turn tables here. read more

We stopped in at the Dingle Pub for a late lunch while in Dingle. The servers were very friendly and helpful and didn't make use feel less because we had kids with us, which was great. My husband and I both opted for burgers, one daughter got the Thai noodles and the other Shepards pie. (They do not have a kids menu). The food was all really good and my husband got to try a local amber ale. We also tried fried Brie which was amazing. We would definitely come back. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. Staff is rude, harassing many patrons!!! The Irish dancer David was incredibly rude, shaming patrons to purchase additional drinks calling them out of a crowd to drink more, he harassed us multiple times to buy drinks even while we had a full round just purchased on its way. We would have purchased more but his attitude drove us to leave, a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming bar, completely ruining our last night in Dingle. read more

One of the worst Pubs that I have ever been to. Touristy, but the town is too. Unbelievably rude bar tenders. They were so rude we almost walked out. Obvious they do not like their job, not happy, hate tourist, don't get paid well, don't care and not representative of Ireland. Could not have ben ruder. Our table had beer and was listening to the horrible music, and wait staff brought hamburger to our table, said it was not ours (would not eat at this place) and server grunted and took it back and was irritated. The music was so sad. Old hippy couple who might have been good about 30 years ago. No way to leave a tip and I think they did not care which was baffling. This place is a tourist trap and did not appear to have many locals. Bathroom smelled like an open grave. Only thing good was the door was big and easy to leave. Everyone we talked with in the Pub said it was disappointing. Avoid like the plague. read more

The Dingle Pub - Sad musicians. - Pubs Near Me - Dingle, Kentucky

Well what can I say! Come here if you want to be totally ripped off and treated with contempt by the barman for the privilege. 3 bottles beers and a half a Guinness €28. We left and went to Dick Macks for the same round for €18! and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. This place ruins the reputation of Dingle. Disgraceful. read more

You will have so much fun visiting the Dingle Pub. The Irish dancer who performs is incredible and the vibe is friendly and entertaining.

So many neat pubs in downtown Dingle, so we had to check out the Dingle Pub!. Super busy Sat. night post Gaelic Football match on TV. Later in the evening so we skipped dinner, but a great hang spot to watch some local live music. An older guy was playing some random Irish folk music, and would mix in some everyday classics we all could sing along to. Later on a younger brother duo stepped in and jammed on a guitar and banjo. Surprising easy to get drinks being so busy. Food looked and smelled great even though we had eaten earlier. This pub is right on the main street through town and can't be missed. If you're lucky enough to travel to the Dingle Peninsula, head down town and check them out. read more

Came for after dinner drinks, Guinness of course, and the local band was playing. Good music, good people, good times...recommended.

We visited in September, when there were still quite a few tourists in town, so the place was packed. Service was fine; it was the tail end of a busy tourism season so I'm sure they were all burned out. We dropped in after hearing live music from outside, which was fun. The Irish beef stew was memorable and delicious. read more

The place is packed and that makes it a bit too much. There is always the dancing in the main bar and you can only see if you push your way to the front. We liked the pub and ended up there 2 nights for the music. Never ate here so can't speak to the food. They have plenty of whiskey and pints to go around. A little crowded for us but a Craic time read more

I thought the shepherd's pie was piping hot, savory flavor. Not really any carrots, but big chunks of tender beef. Goid broth. Came with a small salad and chips (fries). The chips were excellent. My partner's beef stew also hearty and flavorful. Service was good. Nice ambiance. read more

Fun little pub. Grabbed a light lunch before going seaside. The staff was helpful but seemed to be unhappy about the day. I guess we all have days like that so no big deal. Overall great building atmosphere and worth stopping bye for a pint and to check out. read more

Classic spot. We ate, drank, and slept here. No, we didn't pass out in the bar after too many pints. They offer rooms upstairs in the pub. Accommodation: The rooms here are pretty basic and straightforward. They're situated upstairs from the pub. We had one on the top floor , which afforded us a skylight window that opened for fresh air (no air con - this is Ireland!). The window was great, as we happened to stay there on a rare sunny day. Everything was comfortable enough for the price. And the location can't be beat. Free street parking for those with a car. And checking in/out with the bar staff was easy enough. Food: The food here is on par with your typical Irish pub fare. It's not great, it's not terrible. It'll fill your belly and soak up the Guinness. Drink: Yes, they have all your favorite Irish pub options on tap. Entertainment: This is where the Dingle Pub shines. We got to see an Irish champion dancer perform twice in a night. And it was fantastic. Right in the middle of the pub, which was packed. What a party! Well worth it. Also solid local musical acts. Overall, this is the center of action in Dingle, far as I can tell. read more

The Dingle Pub is an eye-catcher: you cannot miss the white building with the green shamrocks. I think that's what drew us in to have a pint (a Sprite for pregnant me) while we were enjoying a walk around town. Even though we sat at the bar, we had poor service and had to keep flagging down the barkeep (there were 4-5 behind the bar) for another drink. They spent an awful lot of time socializing amongst themselves vs. observing customer's empty glasses and cues for refills. Flagging each time took multiple attempts because of this. It IS a spot for regulars! One elderly man came in to join his friends (and later ask every woman if she wanted to dance) and kept pushing into me, so close that he was elbowing me in the breast! This happened repeatedly. I'm not sure if he was already inebriated, was clueless, or was being intentionally rude. He essentially created his own spot at the bar since I had to move over so much. Maybe that was his goal? It was extremely uncomfortable and made my focus shift from enjoying my company to having to combat this guy invading my personal space. The live music was just okay: there was a couple playing music, and another person joined in, which was fun. Honestly, though, it wasn't enough of a draw to warrant a return visit. read more

Came here in September to hopefully hear some great trad music. Immediately we were in the middle of one of the rooms and was rudely told to sit there. She really made me sad that of all the places we decided to have a meal and hear music, we couldn't have made a more poorer choice. I asked an employee what our servers name (started with and S) was and then minutes later she came by to see what we wanted. We should have walked out as soon as the bad vibes started. Food was ok, just ok. read more

Loved it! We stopped in for a quick bite and a pint_ the seer ice was great, food plentiful, tasty and hot! We went back the next day for a pint, met a local, enjoyed music! Exactly what I would expect from an Irish pub! Don't miss this one! read more

This place was actually recommended to us by a different pub as David Geaney was in town. Great place to grab a pint and watch a world class Irish dancer. Very friendly and pleasant place to visit; it's a solid can't miss when he is in town. read more

This place was really good and the live music at night is the main reason why it was 4 stars. They only had 2 servers for the whole place which means they could have been a little more efficient when it came to delivering food, drinks and the check. But I will give it to the servers they were friendly and had great attitudes. read more

Very disappointed in the service Poor attitude of the waitress and never asked for euro or usd which ended up costing more. Food was ok. But not worth it. This is not the Ireland I know. read more

Not a food related review - we stumbled in here because we heard the loud music and the crowd going wild. Came in and it was packed to the door. The band was getting everyone going! We stood for a majority of the night until the crowd thinned out slightly. Certainly a fun time to enjoy some Irish music. We even saw an Irish dance performance! read more

We stopped at The Dingle Pub for an early dinner and it was fantastic. The food was great, service was impeccable and it was lovely to listen to the Irish Music. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone visiting in the Dingle area. read more

Disappointed this place was not recommended to us, & zero stars for myself missing a huge opportunity. This place was great, loved the live music on a Sunday night. David was our server and he was more accommodating than is typical, able to assess veg options. Of course the food and drink were great, so happy we could find food late (actually required us to eat to stay, yeah). Then we find out as we were leaving, on the street, David is the dance superstar and we missed his performance that night. Big river dance fans, but too I'll-informed to recognize David Geaney. Again, very disappointed we missed this opportunity, so learn from us. read more

Cool little pub. It is dark but isn't that what a pub is suppose to be like? There's a separate area for dining and you wait to be seated. I had the chicken stuffed with stuffing and my friend had the burger. Both taste like all the other pub food we've had on our Ireland tour. Prices are expensive because it's still touristy and in Dingle. They have a full bar. Overall it was a good little spot for a bite. read more

It seems that the good news is that live music has returned to Dingle and the Dingle Pub, however the bad news is that only locals or attractive young girls are welcome. We were turned away twice by the doorman. The second time after he found room for a group of young woman and informed us that "there was room for them, but not for you." read more

Nice irish pub. We stopped by for some really super late lunch after 17:00. Ordered the salmon salad that came with some good rye bread, tastes homemade. Really delicious. Also ordered a shepherd's pie type of deal: beef with guiness pie or something like that. Also tasted good. read more

The atmosphere is exactly what one would expect of an irish pub. It's quaint with soft irish music playing. A dining area separate from the bar provides a nice place to sit for dinner. That said, it is a pub so the menu leans towards bar food. Given that Dingle is a town known for fishing and fresh seafood we all had high hopes for some good fish. The duo of salmon and cod with mash €16 and the monkfish with spinach and croquettes (hash browns) €18 didn't appear very pleasing when they arrived. Portions were on the small side and the meal was piled into the dishes workout much attempt at esthetics. However we were surprised to find the dishes were actually quite flavorful. So a 2 for presentation and a 4 for flavor gets an overall 3. Service was just there. Or server was neither rude not pleasant, which is a change from our experiences in ireland this far. Again, or food and drinks arrived in time and at the appropriate temperature so we couldn't really complain. Given the other options in the area, I'd skip this one. read more

Not so great... Something you could get frozen from the store, and be just as satisfied lol... nothing special! And if you want to make any changes to something you order... Have patience with them while they contain their laughter!! :) read more

Crowded, lots of Americans, but very friendly and welcoming. We came for the music and the fellow dancing was a bonus. I like the idea of a cash only bar. Faster service and no monkeying around with debit/credit cards. Great Guinness and the novel idea-at least to me to put, orange, lemon, and juniper berries in a gin and tonic. Great fun. read more

Rude bartender. Didn't want to give any samples of beer. Sat for 20 minutes and never once asked to take our order for food--even with menus in front of us. Drank our beers and left. read more

This is a fabulous place for live music and to drink. But the food isn't the best. The beef in my Guinness pie was greasy and my husband's seafood chowder "Fishy." The fried Brie was delicious though. But the two sets of music were as the Irish say "grand" and it makes for a very fun evening. read more

A must go for tourist. The pub has both local and tourists as patrons. The night we were there, the owner's son danced and that was a highlight of our trip to Ireland! The "beverages" are reasonably priced - actually a lot better priced than down the street! read more

Loved sitting in this local pub next to the fireplace and catching a glimpse of the one man ballad band (Josh?). Perfect spot to catch some tunes and a pint with some food. Had the vegetable soup which was tasty enough, served with brown bread and cheap. Bartender was attentive, prices were normal (3.80 euros for a pint of guinness), and the people were great. I ended up meeting some wild ladies from Co. Cork here on holiday, great craic. I'll be back if I'm ever in Dingle again (which I truly hope to be). read more

With so many great food options in the Dingle area, trust me, you can pass on this one. Consider it... only if you're looking for a quick bite of fish & chips, or if you can't happen to get into any of the other restaurants because they're completely full and you don't have reservations for them. Overall, this place won't hit your pocket too hard and the food is fair. Besides that, you might get lucky to catch the Irish dance performance. read more
