17 Euro for two Heineken do I need to say anymore. I am continuing to write to fill up the word count to post my review. Hand a 20 euro note over and get 3 euro back how is that possible. I know its Temple Bar but that's outrageous.

Really fun pub in the Temple Bar area. Great music by Paul Mallone with a mix of traditional Irish and popular sing alongs. Busy but not to crowded. This is a good alternative to The Temple Bar and definitely worth a visit.

Meant to meet friends, was very busy and plumped for a couple of pints. Disappointing pints, both tasted not quite as they should and really expensive (17 Euros for 2 pints) in comparison to other much nicer pubs in the area. The ambiance was poor and the decor was shoddy, there are so many better, beautiful and cheaper establishments nearby.

Stayed here with my friends for two nights and it was great. Staff really friendly and rooms were nice and clean. Accommodation was near all the nightlife and we had no issues with noise. Perfect place to stay if you are here for all the nightlife.

Popped in for a snack and drink at lunchtime. Only had nacho’s and wine which was fairly expensive. Not had nachos with chopped onion and cucumber sprinkled over before! Think they might have run out of salsa as there was hardly any. Place could have been a bit brighter during day - a little dark if away from windows.

after a day walking around dublin city center we decided to have dinner in this restaurant in the heart of temple bar. We really enjoyed our meals. Vegetable plates available. Priceless customer care, irish and international live music downstairs. 4 out of 5.

Only went to the bar but it was great. We actually hung out for a couple of hours and had a great time chatting with the bar tender. He was super nice. Great drinks and atmosphere! Clean and friendly! Decorated for the season too.

Went in here very tired and just experienced the pub (not hotel). Was expensive for two beers but enjoyed the guitarist/singer who was playing. A friendly environment. Seemed to have a good range of drinks and a tv for the sport. Would consider going back.

Live music here is the best part, the pub has a nice atmosphere to it. Beers are great and the staff is really nice. I guess the part where this place fails is FOOD. We were really disappointed by the amount of salt that was used in the food (better less than too much, you can always add more). The stew barely had any beef, more veggie and sauce than anything else. The kitchen is definitely not their area of expertise. I had better meals for less than we paid here for sure. Given the fact that Ireland is full of pubs, I will definitely elect to go anywhere else before ever coming back here if I’m hungry.

I have actually been on this pub crawl 6 days prior and had an incredible experience visiting unique bars and then a club til late night. 5 star experience. BUT my experience or lack there of last Tuesday was unreal and downright embarrassing. I approached the coordinator outside of Norseman and enquired about coming on the crawl again and said I'd like to but 4 for myself and my friends. He seemed excited and personable and told me to get my friends so he could go over a couple things and I went to get them. Upon my return the pub crawl leader took one look at my friends and said you can't come on the crawl tonight without any further explanation. The only difference between my friends 6 days prior and these guys was my friends last Tuesday were 3 big black men. Unreal how blatant and disgusting the treatment we had.…
