The noise level was unbearably painful. People were speaking so loud. It felt like there was a contest to see which table could shout louder than the table adjacent to it. After the first drink, I had to get out of there because my ears were ringing from the high noise level.

We were told they had great fish and chips and each day its prepared fresh with the catch of the day which just so happened to be haddock. It came with peas and tartar sauce and French fries and a lemon wedge. The fish was soooo tasty and incredibly tender, the batter on the fish was very very mild and could have used some seasoning. I also appreciated the fact that a waiter was able to adjust tables to seat our large party and everyone that waited on us was very kind. It's a good spot and if you're in the area like we were I recommend ! The location is also nice and I love how it's decked out with a lot of old and local bar and brewery signage.

If you want to experience a true Victorian pub in Dublin, The Stag's Head is a beautiful place to…read morestart. 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.

It reminded me of a place I used to go to in Bellflower called Midway. The only difference is they have good punk music. The beer was excellent and I must quote them on this, "no sissy drinks like an apple martini." I will forever be grateful to this pub as I discovered St. Bernardus. Only the best beer in the world and it's made by Monks. Something about the rich flavors in it made for a climatic experience. As I drank that pint, I tasted all it had to offer. It's dark with a full, ivory-colored head. It was amazing, try it and don't hesitate to go to a punk bar in Dublin, Ireland when you get a chance. Cheers!

The atmosphere is rich with local charm and friendly conversation, and the moment stroll into Gravediggers, you're immediately aware that you are in a real pub, not some Temple Bar tourist trap. My bartender was friendly and poured one of the best pints of Guinness that I have ever had. As soon as I took my first sip, I knew that Gravediggers was home. Yes, it was a bit of hike get to this temple of Guinness goodness, but I would gladly do it again... and will the next time I'm in town.

The service was pretty quick, and even though it started just me, more customers trickled i I wanted to shout-out their Owner Alan who served me. He did more than small talk, we talked about politics, American Football, he had some suggestions on beer breweries, the best places for fish and chips. The burger and fries were really good, and the cider was a good pairing. I originally asked for an Irish coffee, and Alan was very honest when he said their coffee wasn't good right now, but if I went and got legit coffee somewhere he's make it Irish for me. I didn't end up doing that but I appreciate

First, great music. Second, great beer…read more Third, great food. We stopped in on a dreary late afternoon after visiting the Tenement Museum at Henrietta street. The Beef Stew and Mac & Cheese was just what we needed! The Beef Stew was super flavorful, dark in color, nice bite sized chunks of beef (and plenty of them), and then a mound (!) of mashed potatoes on top. It was divine! The Mac & Cheese with pulled pork had a sweet-ish profile. Homemade Mac & Cheese is the base, and then pulled pork (in a BBQ sauce) is layered on top. THEN they sprinkle cheese over the whole thing to give it a nice crunchy top. They have beer flights ("taster trays") of the draft beer, plus cans available and even "casks" (which isn't on tap, and once opened needs to be drunk!) Last, the folks who work here are really nice and they seem to attract a very nice clientele. Plus there are games. This seems like a pretty special place all around.

Perfect if you want a firmer snacking appetizer experience than mozzarella sticks. Very rich though, so come hungry if you're gonna get this in addition to a meal. Beef and Stout Stew: Lots of nice stewy liquid to go with the mashed potatoes. The beef itself was moderately tender. Not tough, though not fall apart. Some great flavors. Fish and Chips: Pretty standard. Crispy fish batter, flaky interior. Crispy chips and fluffy potato inside. The mushy peas where a bit too grainy and not that mushy actually.
