Great location, good food and drink selection, but the service is the best and friendliest we’ve had in Dublin so far. So much so that after such a great experience at lunch yesterday with exceptional service from Oisin, we decide to come back again tonight....Once again, Oisin accompanied by Tom were outstanding. Had a few pours, fish and chips (highly recommend) and enjoyed some great music. Definitely worth a stop! I know I’ll be back my next visit to Dublin!More

A must visit when you’re in Dublin. A lovely place with great live music, and a decent selection of drinks. We didn’t eat here but all the food coming out looked delicious.

After trying over 10 different seafood chowders in Ireland, this was the decided winner. Scrumptious!

Perfectly poured Guinness - shamrock is a great touch on the head of the pint. Amazing atmosphere - shout out to the Irish celts band and Doreen. Beautiful music - will be sure to go back next time I’m in town.

This place is as great as you’ve heard. I say that because most people traveling to Dubin ask for a few pub recommendations and this is on just about everyone’s list—for good reason. There’s decent live music, good food, a welcoming atmosphere and of course...lot’s of beer. I’ve come to learn that there actually are only a small handful of pubs that serve food, beer, and live music on a regular basis. There are only about 5 in central Dublin and this is the best of the group.More

Excellent food and Superb service. The entertainment definitely finished up our already fun filled day. Highly recommend!!

On our first day in Dublin, our hotel concierge recommended Darkey Kelly's. We were able to get a table for two in front of the bar facing the musician. What a great atmosphere! This place is so much fun. The regulars ("the lads") were having...a terrific night enjoying each other's company and the beer. The music was outstanding and definitely traditional Irish music. The food was surprisingly good - stew, salad, and soup. And the service was right on.More

My wife and I visited Darkey Kelly's 4 years ago on our first visit to Dublin. This time, we traveled with several other couples. Darkey Kelly's did not disappoint. The live music was outstanding, with much of the bar singing along. Food was great, esp...the fish & chips and beef & Guinness stew. Drinks were flowing. Service was good, in spite of how busy they were. Our friends were so happy that we chose the place. It does get very crowded at peak times, so you may need to wait for a table, but it will be worth the wait.More

Lovely place, great atmosphere, friendly stuff. This place is accessible for wheelchair users: it has ramps and spacious toilets.

Everyone was super friendly, and I got some Guinness because I'd never tried it before :) Definitely made me feel welcome on my first night in Dublin, and the drinks and live music were the cherry on top!

We were sent here by our hotel front desk staff, and it was the best meal we had in Ireland — fish and chips and bangers and mash. Had tried the fish and chips in three other locations, and this one took the prize. Beautiful...display and quite tasty! Perfect balance of flavors (though I almost we are not Irish food experts). Would definitely return.More

Nice Irish pub with a typical beer and cider selection, reasonable noise levels for a pub, and good pub grub.
