We had been looking for someplace to listen to some traditional Irish music only to run into constant renditions of "Country Roads". A couple on holiday that we had met in another restaurant/pub in Dingle recommended we check this place out. So glad we did! The decor is a little off-putting. As was the tradition many years ago, local businesses ofttimes supplemented their income by also putting in a bar. Dick Mack's is such a place. It must have been a shoe store/cobbler at one time because the walls were covered with old shoes, lasts and tools fo the trade. There are also lots of little cubbyholes if you are looking for a quieter place from the main room. We fell in with some guys on holiday who had sailed up from Waterford and had the best time talking and drinking. Well, they talked and we drank. The stories these guys told kept us in stitches and we had a great laugh with "Father Ted" references (my name is Ted). All in all, it was our best night in Dingle and Dick Mack's will forever be a bookmark in our travels.

Worth the hype and worth the walk to find in downtown Dingle. Very small Pub, but entire WALL of Irish whiskey's. Bartender made some very good recommendations, small lively crowd and locally brewed beers on tap (plus your normals like Guinness etc). really enjoyed it for a an hour or two talking with the locals as well as fellow travelers. Check it out and add it to your pub crawl list. :)

Just finished the tour of dick macks brewery really enjoyable way to spend a few hours in dingle. 12 euro for the tour is great value considering they give you a glass of each of their beers to taste. Laura was very informative and friendly.
