Really looked forward to visiting this gorgeous looking bar, but got hassled at the door for wearing a mask and not allowed in. Unbelievable treatment by staff. If you want to be safe during a pandemic, avoid this bar.

The doormen don’t allow anyone in with valid American covid passes that are digital, but any scrappy paper card from EU is totally fine.

We had a fantastic night here. We were seated upstairs and Siobhan did an amazing job of looking after us. She was great fun and gave us good recommendations. It was the best service we received during our weekend in the city.. The music and the atmosphere were top drawer. Highly recommended and sit upstairs if you can.

We went out for a meal early. There was live music which was great. The beer was great. The service was very good. Except it is quite clear as with a lot of pubs in Ireland now they have inexperienced staff.
When you order a starter and a main course you don’t generally expect them all to arrive at the same time this meant the mains had to go back and then they came out of course they were not as good as they could’ve been.
Attention to detail that’s the important thing

Every time I visit Dublin, this place is a must visit. Live music on all day and well into the night, they serve great Guinness and the food is delicious. There’s not much else to say, I will visit time and time again and you should too.

Really like this pub. Music is awesome. Had Guinness stew and I really liked it. Last time I had it at Brazen head and this is as good as there I think. Definitely would have it again at both places.

I had a lovely time when I was here at the end of May. The music was fun and food good. What time does music begin? Is it only in the evenings or also in the afternoon?
