    A proper pub in the heart of Dublin. The Long Hall was towards the top of my list of places to check out during my brief visit here. It was within walking distance of a ton of restaurants and attractions so you might as well stop by and grab yourself a pint of Guinness. The place is popular so be prepared to stand or be content with barstool seating, although there is table seating in the back which looked super cozy. I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar and loved looking around at the victorian woodworking and vintage decor. I ordered a pint of Guinness which was poured efficiently and properly. Service was straightforward but kind. I've got to admit, I'm not a Guinness fan. It might have something to do with the fact that I never drink beer but when in Rome do as the Romans do. So when in Dublin, drink what the Irish drink, I suppose? I can't say I ordered another pint but I did stop into the restrooms on my way out and I was pleasantly surprised with how clean they were! Usually the bathrooms in bars in the U.S are total dumpster fires but this one was clearly being checked throughout the day. I'd definitely recommend stopping by The Long Hall if you're ever in Dublin!

    An iconic bar in the middle of Dublin with good draft beers and quick service. It has a mix of both locals and tourists coming in, the place is pretty big and we came during the day so there were tables and bar stools available at the time and the service was quick. I'd recommend it for a pint but unless you come with a group it can get pretty boring. We stopped for one and then left and kept exploring the city.

    The Long Hall is a beautiful pub! Like others have said, it has the feel of a cocktail bar. It's set up just like a long hallway and was quite busy when we were there. We wished it would've been easier to get a seat, but a place like that is definitely going to be busy. We stayed for one drink and continued on to another pub. I would recommend going early!

    Gotta say of all the places in Dublin that hype up their Irish coffee this place was definitely worth waiting till they opened up at 1pm on a rainy day. The coffee was smooth yet energetic for a vaycay vibe. Customers and staff here are very friendly and chill and just good vibes here all around. For the price of an Irish coffee it was fair as well

    This was probably one of the nicest pubs I went to in Dublin! This has the vibe of a nice cocktail bar, but essentially everyone was drinking beer! I'd come back

    Really great service. We sat at a table in the back and never wanted for a refill or another drink. We went becuse we heard they had good pours of Guiness and it was super close to out hotel. We would go again

    This bar is one of the oldest in Dublin. Such a charming place. Definitely one you need to try while visiting.

    Fun is not welcome here. I used to live on Palace St (Dame St) and recently was in the Long Hall with a friend, twice, for catch-up drinks. The first night we had at least eight pints each. Grand time. Today, we had one drink and the manager, who we had not spoken with or interacted with, refused to serve us a second. The only thing I can think of is that, as we were seated right by the door, we were chatting to new customers as they waited for a seat. The (Tunisian?) guy serving us both nights is very nice; we tipped him both nights and were grateful to have someone so pleasant serving us. The "manager" should probably just be a bar man and have someone with cop on be the actual manager.

    This is a classic pub with leather seats, an eclectic mix of chandeliers, an assortment of photos on the walls, tin ceilings, red carpeting. As the name states, this is one long, narrow 'hall' of a room. The bar takes up the front half of the room with seats both at the bar and across from it along the wall. The rear portion of the room is banquets, typical little round tables and stools. The pub offers a full bar. We ordered one beer, and tea for one. The bar woman sent us back to have a seat and brought out a small pot of brewed tea and the beer. From our vantage point we could see the entire room. There were only a few patrons scattered around the room when we visited early in the afternoon. Not as much tchotchke here as in other old style pubs but still with lots of personality.

    On my short trip to Ireland I had limited time in Dublin so I wanted to try a highly recommended pub to get a pint of Guinness. This place was the highest recommend pub within close proximity of the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel. I walked in and the place was packed; it was difficult to walk through the narrow area in front of the bar. There were no tables available but fortunately there was one spot with standing room only at the bar. Although the place was packed, I was acknowledged quickly and I ordered a pint of Guinness. I was glad that I did not receive my pint immediately because he let it settle before he topped it off and delivered it. It cost 5 Euros which is good compared to some other pubs. This place is a Victorian style pub and has been there for quite some time. I thought that it was cool that locals and tourists alike were in the place. I saw large groups of friends in the back and mostly couples at the bar and seated across from it. Despite it being so busy, the bartender was keeping up and keeping things moving. 4 stars!

    This is the kind of pub you look for in Dublin. Great beer, great ambiance and kind of place you can go to and enjoy the great beer

    Gorgeous, inside and out

    I like this place. I like it a lot. Firstly, it's obviously amazingly beautiful, both externally and internally. This really is a truly elegant old (and long as the name suggests!) bar on South Great George's Street. The owners obviously put a lot of money and effort into keeping the place spick and span and purty, and it's really paid off. Check out any of the photos accompanying it and you'll see. The other thing is, there are no fake 'ye old Ireland', 'check me out I'm an old man's pub,no honestly I've been here forever' signs all over the walls. This IS an old pub, the Victorian paraphernalia and decor is fully authentic - in fact the Long Hall is actually a listed building, which proves my point! There are muskets, old paintings, and ancient looking chandeliers, all crammed in together with lots of shiny brass, huge alcohol selection, and some 'old Dublin' characters. You'll get a great pint of Guinness here, guaranteed (another one to add to the list!), and the prices are pretty reasonable. Now the only thing is, this place gets rammed at the weekends. Another one that's a bit of a victim of it's own success. Having said that, if you get in there during the day, you'll be in luck. I was there last Saturday day time, and we were in the company of only three others, so pick your time wisely, and you'll be grand.

Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

We ended up being seated in the entry area right at the entrance which was fine because it was super loud up the stairs. We ordered the Pork Pie & The Beef Casserole. Both were really good & filling. The service was decent & the ambiance was nice although it was very, very loud. Overall it was a great meal with above average prices but I'm not sure we'd go back next time due to the other factors.

From the…read moreoutside, it plants itself confidently among Dublin's historic streets with a façade that promises hearty fare and good pints; inside, the space is warm and inviting with dark wood, exposed brick, beautiful murals, and comfortable seating that encourages lingering. My party of six walked in on a Wednesday night at around 7:30pm; at that time, the restaurant was about half-full, but filled up over the course of our meal. The menu has plenty of options ranging from healthy salads to traditional Irish dishes to your standard hearty pub fare. Drinks are also fairly priced here, and they have a good range of ales and lagers on tap (and of course, the classic Guinness). I opted for their Rustic Dublin Coddle (€20.50), which is a sizeable bowl of warming soup with two chargrilled, tender pork sausages, smoky bacon, soft potatoes, and onion, served with toasted sourdough bread. I appreciated the clean taste of the soup (made with an herbed chicken broth), which cut the rich fattiness of the sausage and bacon. I do wish the soup had been served with a more traditional Irish brown bread, but the sourdough was tasty nonetheless. Another great dish was the Waterloo Prime Irish Beef Burger (€19), which is a large patty of juicy, prime Irish beef served atop a toasted bun, with red onions, baby gem lettuce, pickled gherkins, and a tangy smoked Dublin cheddar. Some friends ordered the Superfood Salad (€15), which has a plethora of fresh vegetables and grains, but they noted it was quite bland, even with the French dressing. Yes, it's a bit on the pricey side for a pub, but I find Waterlooo Bar unique in that the atmosphere feels classic but lively: you get that laid-back Dublin pub energy with a hint of sophistication that makes it great for both casual meals and nights out. The food is solid if not stellar, the vibe is fun, and prices are reasonable for the area; a satisfying pick for an Irish pub dinner.
