We took a Pub Tour with Pat from Alternative Bars of Ireland (find him on AirBnB, it was a great tour) & he saved the BEST pub for last. We closed out our night at Devitts of Camden Street. For anyone visiting Ireland, looking for...an honest Irish Pub feel, this place nailed it! With Neil Harney on the accordion and another fella playing the guitar and singing his heart out, the crowd was electrified! We sang and stomped our hearts out until last call (& then some). For our 8 day trip to Ireland, from the states, this was my favorite Pub. I brought my 18 year old with me and this was his first pub experience. The states are going to have a tough time living up to Devitts because they set the bar high! ❤️🇮🇪More

Beer evokes the location of production more than any other product. Weissbier and Germany, dubbels and Belgium, and most of all, Guinness and Ireland. What makes these beers unique and gives them their "taste of place" is a big part of what sets them apart....Rigid adequation between the product and a sense of Irishness sets it apart from other expert beer-producing nations, such Belgium or Germany. The act of consuming that distinctive national product Guinness is intimately bound up with Irish identity. That Guinness is a synecdoche of Ireland is almost, at this stage, a cultural given. This commodity has taken on a fetishistic association with Dublin, an association that is enunciated by the desire of tourists to have a pint of Guinness as a testament to having arrived in Ireland. Almost every consumable item, including underwear, drinking glasses, and things related to alcohol can be bought in tourist stores with the Guinness brand on them. In fact, Guinness has served as a synecdoche in a different sense because, in the majority of Dublin pubs, if one asks the bartender for "a pint," Guinness will usually be the suggested beverage. Now that I have been to Dublin, I have embraced Guinness, its marketing, and the traditions and superstitions that surround it. Drinkers describe Guinness as a drink for which one must acquire a taste. They also frequently described the quest for the elusive "perfect pint," a quest that required immense discernment on the part of the consumer—to the point that certain pubs would be earmarked as "good Guinness pubs" for all the right technical reasons. Dubliners are particularly picky about the presentation and serving of the pint. The head, for instance, needs to be the proper size, colour, and consistency. Some drinkers are so picky, in fact, that they have preferences for the bartender who served them. Most people even go as far as to claim that they would not hesitate to return a subpar pint if they received one. A bad pint could be a flat pint, a pint with a "bad" head, a pint with a "bishop’s collar" (too much head), or any combination of these. Guinness drinkers tend to show a high degree of assertiveness as consumers, demonstrating a strong sense of consumer sovereignty. Consumer intelligence at such elevated levels suggests a high level of involvement and engagement with the product. But why all this work to ensure a good pint? Why stick with a product that, on first taste, is often unpleasant? Why chase what is often perceived to be an elusive pint? Why work so hard at establishing where and when you will find this product acceptable? Why order a drink that takes several minutes to arrive if it is to be served properly? Why this delayed gratification? Why persevere? The beliefs that surround the beverage, the rituals that support these myths, and the sense of tradition and community that arises from all of these contributing aspects are undoubtedly some of the key reasons people continue to drink Guinness. Guinness drinkers even report feeling a sense of tradition and an inherited cultural value. Numerous elements, including their knowledge, experiences, social histories, and personal exposure, have influenced their perspectives. These, however, are not the sole components of the narrative. The use of the product is intricately tied with the use of its well-known commercials, as well as the rituals, mythologies, rites, and traditions that surround and support it. The staff at Devitts know this, of course. And will smile wryly whilst pouring you a pint before leaving it to settle. Why does it need to settle, you may ask? Because good things come to those who wait.More

Paul the doorman Keenan, is the biggest gent and quality doorman amongst bad reputation in Dublin. He is a tulip amongst silage. What a gentleman and a credit to the establishment of Devitts. Thanks for a great night and all your support Paul, legend! 🤲

We had a great time watching NFL Redzone at Devitt's! We popped in around 9 pm and it was super crowded but we managed to snag a table with some luck. Our waitress was really nice and gave great suggestions for cocktails and bar food....We thought the atmosphere in the bar was great. Bustling, but not too crazy and rowdy, and they were playing traditional Irish music upstairs.More

A really beautiful old-fashioned pub oozing atmosphere of days long gone by; but it's great not only for drinks but also for a delicious and filling breakfast, and the staff are delightful too.

Was on a stag weekend and wanted a break from the Wetherspoons the rest of the group wanted to live in! So a couple of us went for a Sunday morning explore and stopped and had an Irish breakfast at Devitts. Nice pub, good service...and a great breakfast. Thank you Devitts for breaking up the enforced Wetherspoons marathon!More

Friendly atmosphere and great food. Perfect stopping place on a busy day in Dublin for a pint and tasty bite. Definitely recommend.

Very friendly staff and good service. Chicken burger was tasty and steak sandwich was a bit overdone at medium well as wasn’t pink at all but it was tasty. Great gravy.

A great moment, the waiter were really great and joked with us. The atmosphere of the pub is really amazing. The food was good for lunch ! We recommend it for lunch in family !

The food was so good we visited 3 times in three days to try something different each time. Excellent quality/quantity and preparation of the food, staff is friendly, caring and wonderful at their job.More

Not a fan. Food was tolerable and overpriced, service was not aggravating. Wouldn’t go again. Not worth the money. Looks like most people were there for a pint, so if that’s your game, have at it.

Went to Devitt's a few times whilst we visited Dublin for 4 days from 18th -22nd July. Called in for drinks and Irene greeted us and was our server for the few hours we where there, I wasnt feeling very well during out visit and...Irene cheered me up, she couldn't do enough for my boyfriend and I, she is such a character and a credit to the pub. They have an amazing selection of drinks and the food is beautiful, we will certainly be back on our next trip to Dublin and we hope we see Irene on our next visit.More
