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.

What travellers are saying
- Rikard HGothenburg, Sweden4 contributionsAlan took very good care of us and showed us and told us the history and anecdotes about the Irish rock scene. Alan is inspiering and know his stuff. Alan is also convinced that everybody in some way or another is connected to Ireland. 😀Written 10 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rebecca2528Aberdeen, UK142 contributionsVisited with my partner as a must see on our trip to Dublin, we had only planned on visiting for a drink as we had heard horror stories about the drink prices however we didn't find that at all, we were around £8/9 a pint which for how popular the pub is we were quite happy to pay. We couldn't leave after one drink the atmosphere was out of this world with the singers creating a great afternoon - can't wait to go back!Written 13 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisamarie LMadison, WI954 contributionsTemple Bar refers to the entire area, not just the one pub. This is a fun, lively area in the pedestrian part of Dublin. Crowded, lots of pubs, music coming out of every building...if that's your thing, you'll enjoy yourself. At the least, it's a fun place to walk around and people watch/soak up the energy. No illusions on how 'authentic' it is, but it's still a fun place to see.Written 20 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The staff were incredible they were so knowledgeable on Sheamus' works!
The exhibition has been expertly curated and tells Heany's story so well! My partner is an English Teacher and she loved it.Written 20 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beers were exceptional, the band were great and we had a wonderful night. Thoroughly recommend a visit when your next in Dublin!Written 8 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aina HLevanger, Norway237 contributionsThis is a small but cozy farmer's market with approx. 7 tents. They have various dishes you can eat there in addition to cheese, vegetables, meat and more that you can buy to take home. Pleasant and can recommend a short visit.Written 19 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- redecoWarren, MA9,429 contributionsThe Dubh Linn Gardens are directly behind the Dublin Castle and feature free entry...there are benches and shaded areas where weary travelers can sit for a while to recharge. The gardens are well-tended and appear to be popular as there were lots of folk walking about.
The gardens include a separate Garda Siochana Memorial Garden dedicated to Guarda who have fallen in the line of duty. And another shady garden is nearby with benches for reflection where you will find the bust of Veronica Guerin. Ms. Guerin was a crime reporter who was murdered after her investigative report on organized drug crime was featured in the Sunday Independent. The garden is a fitting memorial...

Just go into the bank and in the main teller hall there are displays of historical coinage and financial instruments, which is worth a look. However, you can sometimes go into the Lords’ Chamber, now a meeting room – just ask, it’s worth a look for 5 minutesWritten 31 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MissesMoMoDublin, Ireland70 contributionsWe have visited the Ark for ticketed and free events countless times over the last 10 years and it never disappoints. Double check the website for opening times of exhibitions as often they are only Wednesday to Sunday and closed for lunch.Written 18 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JLandMikeCochrane, Canada773 contributionsSaw a wonderful play (Curious case of Albert Cashier). Lovely theatre. Best part was the person working the ticket counter. We had stopped by to find out what was playing and got great advice. We couldn’t decide so left and came back later to buy. Superior customer service. Really enjoyed our first Irish play!Written 11 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hayat1965Frankfurt, Germany56 contributionsWe visited The Icon Walk with our tour guide Patrick during his 4-hour called “Dublins best kept secrets”. It is a community of artists who have transformed back roads into a living art project. Lots of dedicated artists make the Icon Factory to a fun place to visit, buy pieces of art or some unique souvenirs to support this project. Take some time to have a chat with e.g. Anthony about art, Dublin and the world. You will not regret it.
The Icon Factory is under threat because the landlord wants to use the space for a restaurant and the artists have not yet found a new space. I really do not understand why the city does not support and promote such a great place!Written 31 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I especially enjoyed the Irish bagpipes and the explanations of history of songs. Dancing also great and dinner, bread pudding dessert mmmm.Written 15 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TommyGlasgow, UK779 contributionsLoved the Atmosphere loved the Guinness loved the good. Great location and the service also was perfect. Shout out to the waitress who gave us a full platter of food as someone made a mistake on their order.

- BraindamagedbaronNewark-on-Trent, UK1,836 contributionsA bridge crosses things, that's it's primary goal in life. We needed to cross the Liffey, to get to the other side. We were those chickens and we were clucking ready...
We'd just been to Temple Bar, like the feathered, egg laying tourists that we were. Now we needed to get over that river and we certainly weren't swimming it.
Then, like a shining bridgey beacon, the Millennium Bridge appeared and over it we trotted. The bridge did indeed cross the Liffey and for that reason alone, it deserves top marks. It was solid, it was reliable, it crossed a body of water, it was a bridge and our nest awaited...Written 1 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
