Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Looking for a pint of Guinness on our first day in Dublin we found ourself passing The Long Hall. It can't have been long after opening time and we were almost the only customers. We received a warm welcome from the lady behind the bar and it was noticeable that, as the bar filled up, the welcome everybody received was just as warm. Yes, it is obviously on the tourist trail but it is none the worse for that. Go early, get settled in, and enjoy the atmosphere - and the Guinness.

    Visited the Stags Head with friends, I hadn’t been in a long time! So enjoyed our few drinks here, tradition, friendly and warm. What more could you want? Such a great spot, definitely won’t wait as long to return x

    This is a must do tourist trap. The live music and atmosphere is great, but this pub is always very busy. The drinks are on the pricey side, however it’s still worth going even for one drink just to say you’ve been to this iconic pub

    So simple - excellent beer in an uncomplicated, unspoiled environment with no piped music. This place is just heaven. Don’t be put off by the road it’s on; once you walk in, you’ll want to stay.

    Fantastic live music with a fun lively atmosphere. Me and my wife came here a few times in our week in Dublin and this was hands-down the best nightlife spot in the Temple Bar area. O'Donoghue's has a lot of locals and regulars as well, and later on in the night on Fridays and Saturdays becomes a lively place with a little bit of dancing but is a friendly and clean atmosphere, without being too crowded.

    The live musicians were easily the most talented we had seen in the area, able to pull off music from a wide range of genres while keeping things engaged and fun.

    We didn't try the food, but their cocktails were excellent as well.

    Love this place, good atmosphere, nothing fancy, but you feel like you are somewhere special. Had some musicians playing, not tourist capturing stuff, just proper Irish music played by what looked like a few musicians who turned up. Great selection of beers and a nice mix of locals and tourists.

    This was a return visit. The pub is always lively with music and visitors from around the globe and locals. On all the occasions that we were there it was packed and everyone was friendly and having a great time singing along and dancing. A great pub to visit while in Dublin

    Such a warm warm welcome, couldn’t have asked for more. Staff were absolutely fantastic (sorry ladies, we should have asked for your names). A real gem of a pub, full of history and a great authentic atmosphere. We visited on a recommendation and so glad we did. Will be our first port of call when we are next in Dublin again. Thank you.

    Their pizza is simply top class, lots of vegetarian options. The atmosphere is just great, only downside is that they didn't take bookings so there might be a bit of waiting to get a table. Other than that evening was a success, highly recommend them.
