Food: The best food in Dublin. I ordered a steak rib sub and the meat just fell off the bone. It was amazing. The wings were amazing, and the selection of craft beer is superb. Decor: This place looks like it was modeled after a church and those rooms in the back look like confession rooms. See the pictures! This is a must place to go when in Dublin and I recommend this place to all who visit the city.

A craft beer geek's happy spot (not to sound redundant) that radiates spiritual purity and wonderment. A splendid place to try some beers by breweries of whom you may never have heard previously, but will if you can find this pleasure, little treasure. We were fortunate as human individuals that our Airbnb was located two floors above Brogan's -- and three floors above Underdog. No need for taxis after a late-night drinking spree, we could just stumble up the flights of stairs to our Airbnb and pass out. When you research the bars and locations of the Airbnbs you're considering, you find yourself at an incredible advantage. But I digress. To locate, you need to find Brogan's, which is down the street from the Olympia Theatre. Once you enter the front door, immediately turn to your left and walk down the flight of stairs into the cellar. You will turn right and walk down a hallway and arrive at the bar the Underdog. To reiterate, they have a massive craft beer selection from breweries I had never heard before, located in Ireland, the UK, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and other countries. My choices comprised The Wild Beer Company Tepache Sour; the Boundary Brewing Whose Idea Was This? Double IPA, and the Mikkeller Peter, Pale, and Mary (PPM) Pale Ale. The first two came from breweries from whom I've never heard before, while everyone knows about Mikkeller and their penchant for producing excellent craft beer from their location in Denmark. The Tepeche was quite remarkable -- a perfect balance of funky brett with a zesty spiciness and sweet pineapple. The Evercreech, Somerset, England-brewery put something together that was special. The Whose Idea Was This? was a tasty beer, full of happiness and life, with lots of grapefruit and other citruses that made the beer from the Belfast-based brewery (Boundary) burst with juicy goodness. The PPM from Mikkeller was solid and an excellent way to close the tab. Underdog has the definitive coolness factor where you need to know where you're going to find it. Amongst the myriad of bars, pubs, restaurants, supper houses, and the like in Temple Bar, Dublin City Centre, Underdog is a massive find. Their craft beer selection is tops and should be sought after for those who love a delicious craft beer that they've never tried before.

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.

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.

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!

It's next to a huge graveyard and was established in 1833 so the gravediggers could have a place to talk and drink their favorite beverage.

The service was excellent as I had the potato soup which was delicious and cheap. My wife and daughter split the Irish rolls and they fell in love with them. It was a great experience and I would definitely highly recommend anyone in Dublin to visit this place.
