Brilliant place. Music on 2 floors day and night. We went about 6 times and were never disappointed. Drinks are reasonable with service if required. We didn't eat here but food looked good. Can't wait to come again next year. More

The bar areas are crowded but the music is Irish and live. We ate in the restaurant at the top and had some really good food. ( A 18oz RibEye Steak ) for a decent price. The staff were polite and helpful and the service was quick. The only drawback is the price of drinks, just make them last. More

We found this place our last night in Ireland, and wish we had found it sooner. The live Irish music goes on all afternoon and into the night, unlike most of the music venues, which begin playing at 9 or 10 in the evening. At around 7:30 a music pub crawl begins here, and we were entertained by two musicians... More

We had a few great nights at this pub. It is right in the center of Temple Bar, and with multiple floors. The weekends are very crowded here and had live music on two floors. We enjoyed it better on a Monday night, which is a lot less crowded and we got a great seat and saw music on 2... More

This pub was definitely a stand out in the Temple Bar area. You will see the colorful storefront with lots of flags right away. Inside you will find a great decor and lots of happy, singing locals and tourists. You must stop in for a Guiness...or two! More
