A packed pub with a real traditional interior. Dark and cosy and musicians were playing great traditional Irish music when we arrived around 5pm on a wet Friday. This was a surprise as it wasn’t supposed too start until 8! 🤣 Great atmosphere and there were regulars and tourists alike enjoying it all

Avoid this place. The bar smells bad & is filthy. The toilets are disgusting. The worst toilets I have ever been in, the smell was so bad it made me vomit & I heard the Gents are even worse. So a bad start to the night when I vomit before I even start drinking. The bar staff are so rude, the way they spoke to tourists was disgusting, I was embarrassed to be Irish, I found myself apologising to tourists for the way they were treated. Bar staff using horrific language, loudly slagging customers, how they look, what they are wearing, shouting at customers, telling customers to shut up & move out of the way of the bar or the door, the pub is tiny, so nowhere for these people to move too. I was there to support a friend playing in the band & although the music was great, I will never return, not even to support a friend. I felt filthy and sick leaving the bar. I definitely would not be eating from this place. I didn’t see anyone order food so I couldn’t believe it when I heard they actually serve food, not sure how they get away with that in such a filthy smelly space. The drink is quite expensive too, more like Temple bar prices..…

We selected this pub as a venue to listen to traditional Irish music. As soon as we entered, we were directed to seats nearest to where musicians were to play. The staff could not have been more courteous and helpful. The atmosphere was genuine. And when we were leaving, one of the bartenders came with us to flag down a taxi. For a lively breath of Old Dublin, go to O'Donoghues.

We had an great visit to O'Donoghue's. The bartenders were fantastic and very professional. The history that can be found here is awesome. The pictures and memorabilia about the Dubliners is great to see.

Stopped in here on a Friday night for a late meal when everything else was full. It was a perfect stop for what we wanted. Ordered the sampler to share and the bartender was very honest in telling us to get the smaller tray as it was a lot of food. This was really appreciated.

Sadly, this is one of the slowly disappearing “real” Dublin Irish pubs. A no nonsense drinking venue geared up solely for the “craic”, music and enjoyment of company. We went for a couple of pints on recommendation and we weren't disappointed. The staff are very efficient and quick to serve and the whole place exudes authenticity and a welcoming ambiance. A great place to spend a few hours.

Super service, great atmosphere. Great night had by all even during covid times. We will be back again soon. Great beer garden to watch sports and very quick service by all of the bar staff, no complaints here. One of Dublins best kept secrets.

Get out of touristy Temple Bar and listen to authentic Irish music in an informal atmosphere (no stages) just off of St Stephens Green a block from The Shelbourne. O’Donoghues cooks up an intimate nightly round of Irish music where the audience sits among the musicians to enjoy fabulous tunes. Music usually starts around 9PM and the room starts filling up around 8.30PM so grab a beer and a seat when you can. The tunes were delightful and something not to be missed.

How the mighty have fallen,once a great pub,now a money grabbing conveyor belt of bad product and rudeness,loud and obnoxious staff member shouts orders down the bar like a chip van outside Croke Park on All Ireland Sunday,pints filled in one pour like a night club in Ibiza not in the home of Guinness,stout warm and of bad quality,toilets are filthy with urine and faeces flowing across the floor(Coronavirus is the least of your worries in this kip).When we complained we were treated to a barrages of laughter and insults led by the earlier mentioned loud hailer(a spectacle wearing balding horrible little man),such a pity this once fantastic and iconic Dublin pub has lost its heart and soul to make a fast buck

If you like staying in the heart of the action, then this is it as it is next to Stephens Green and Government buildings where all the best historic attractions are located. Plus the bar is one of the best in Ireland, they have regular live music and always a good atmosphere.
