It was a beautiful day and the bar was packed and overfilling onto the street. We ate food inside the restaurant which wasn't as crowded. Food was good! A lot of options.

The decor is exactly what I imagined, complete with stained glass and a real stag's head. Ordered the fish and chips, which were crisp on the outside with a flavorful batter, and tender fish on the inside. It also came with a nice little pea salad, with mushy peas and whole peas together with the greens. I definitely need to make this! Also got the Irish Cottage Pie and it was very tasty - rich in flavor but lighter than I expected, in a good way. Shared a pint of Guiness (just missed splitting the G - lol) and finished with an Irish coffee, which hit the spot. This is definitely a great place to go for a quiet pint or for a fun night of food and friends.

We got their fish & chips and Irish Cottage Pie. Both were very good and filling. Fish was nicely breaded and fried. Good flavor in their batter. Cottage pie was full of flavor but not overly rich. Great atmosphere and food/drinks. Lots of pubs to choose from in Dublin - Stag's Head is worthy of a visit.

We stopped in with our family for the free pizza fully intending on purchasing lots of other food and drinks. Mind you this deal was advertised in loads of Dublin websites the waitress couldn't believe we asked about the deal, she was annoyed when we asked for napkins or water, and she snapped at us when we inquired about the bill. It's too bad because the vibes were cool in this place so we had intended to stay the afternoon making further purchases. But we left because she was so snippy and rude.

Let me set the scene…read more Dublin, Ireland. Our first stop across the Atlantic. We arrive to Storm Emma, Dublin's worst snowstorm in 35 years. Great timing, right? This resulted in us being cooped for a day in a half in our Airbnb, since most of Dublin shut down. Businesses of all kinds were closed. The cabin fever had set in. My girlfriend and I were itching to explore the pub scene or any scene for that matter! We decided to layer up and go for a walk...in 32 degree weather and a foot of snow. Hey we're Floridians, we were up for some change! Lo and behold, we look up at the pub around the corner from our Airbnb, and the doors are open. We see Dubliners out front smoking cigarettes, joshing around, happy to be out in the world. We nearly sprinted into The Back Page, which is a fantastic name for a pub by the way. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Customers were relaxed, the bartenders were chipper, and there was lots of wiggle room to sit or stand throughout the two story venue. Local beers and local whiskies filled the menu, and the prices were very reasonable. Attached to the bar is a pizza joint, I assume they are under the same ownership. We ordered the Sonia O'Sullivan pie and Bruschetta and both were excellent. Having Italy on the horizon in just a matter of days, we were not expecting 5 star pizza in Dublin. To our surprise, the texture and overall flavor of the pie were absolutely phenomenal. Full of life, cheerfulness, and exuberance at The Back Page. Recommend to anyone!

Where else but in the capital of Ireland would you have so many pubs known by two names ie the…read morefamily name (Hedigan's) and the fancy name (Brian Boru). This place has long been a favourite of students and young professionals in the Phibsborough area - as well as locals who've been a bit longer in the tooth. It's fair to say that rather than searching for some random historical connection it is believed that Brian Boru struck camp in the area prior to marching his troops to victory (and his own death) down the road in Clontarf. The pub is large and expansive as is its beer garden. If you want a bit of local colour then I'd recommend dropping in for Sunday lunch.

Channeling my inner Dubliner, I stuck with Smithwicks and Guinness for the night. The easily drinkable pale ale and dry stout go down dangerously smooth. And frankly, they tasted even more remarkable in Ireland than they normally do in the States. A travel high fogging my memory? Perhaps, but I don't really care! You won't find young, inexperienced bartenders at Bohemian House. You'll find men, seasoned in their craft, who are all business. Three gentlemen behind the stick and even bussing on the floor. It's a joy to watch them in their element. We ended up meeting fascinating locals who bought us beers until they kicked us out. The Irish hospitality is real, and this very bar is exactly the type of watering hole you want to visit while in Dublin.

Joxers is just one of those places you'll either love or hate... This place reminds a bit of Luke Kelly, its a bit rough around the edges, a bit rebellious, not some where you'd bring your granny to see, but sums up what Dublin is and it is truly one of a kind!! (although it is owned by a Kerry-man as can be seen by the exterior!) First off i have to mention this is a proper inner-city 'does what it says on the tin' Dublin pub, that gives modern Ireland the finger!!! You wont find the celtic tiger roaring in here, to be honest its a bit of a dive bar, nor will you be expected to pay 5 or 6euro a pint. The regulars are mainly local aul-lads (from the nearby flats) that live for their few pint, they are salt of the earth people and characters to say the least, and dont be alarmed if you find a few having a sneaky fag down the back, its a bit of given in this place!! if you planning on visiting joxers, it is well worth going on a sunday afternoon as there is a fantastic traditional group playing from 12pm, a raging open fire, and porter flying like theres no tomorrow... **in my eyes this pub gets 5 stars everytime, (good guinness, pool table, large screen for matches, big open fire, bita atmosphere, decent music, smoking ban???) but it is not a going to be for everyone and for those i will say stick to Temple Bar...
