Would recommend this place over many of the trendy bars that have sprung up at this end of the river ans the docks. Good atmosphere. Possibly a bit touristy but a good mix of after work locals as well. And of course serves a great pint of the black stuff.

We stayed at the Maldron hotel on Cardiff Lane...this pub was around the corner (and across from the convention center)...my husband asked for a pitcher of beer--note to self: don't do that--he went round and round and the bartender (not ugly, but not too friendly either) finally pointed to a picture on the wall...just get pints!!

Great pub with a good atmosphere. I got the impression it's been a local pub for a while but the clientel have changed in recent years with the redevelopment of Grand Canal Dock nearby. They've managed to keep it well. Delighted to find they served bottles of decent wine as well as pints of Guinness.

Well, I discovered this place thanks to the bad weather. It was very cold and raining and we decided to find a shelter before we continue discovering the city. So we crossed the road to enter The Ferryman Pub. The place was empty apart from some men by the bar. We ordered our beer and chilled. In no time at... More

This was the only pub realy nearby our rental apartment so we had to check it out. It's much more spacious than I expected with a cozy downstair area. The bartender was extremely friendly, so much so that bartenders at other pubs in the area knew of him. They pour a great pint and the other guests seem to always... More

Popped in after work whilst i was in Dublin for business. It was a good place for drink, place has lots of character and has a relaxed feel. Definitely feels like you are part of some history whilst being in the pub.

I went here with work colleagues after a convention and this place was jammed. It seems to attract quite a crowd from the Convention Centre, which is just across the river. I don't know what it is like on a normal day, but it had a lot of people, good atmosphere, and, surprisingly, a nice wine list. It's quite close... More

Your typical Irish pub, old, not much character, right on the River Liffey, but no facility to sit outside, not that you would want to. Away from the usual tourist area.
