Loved this place. Excellent cottage stew. Friendly and welcoming staff and fellow diners. Very crowded downstairs. Had to walk around into the nooks and crannies to find a little room that had a place to sit and eat.
The live music on the night I went consisted of three very talented sisters.

Awesome pub with a great atmosphere. Check out the back room too, sort of a round room with a circular staircase. Staff was helpful. We just had some wings as an appetizer which where good, but nothing special. Recommended for a pint and hang out with some good music too!

Amazing atmosphere with great live music! Fast, efficient and friendly bar service. We had a great Friday night here, it was just the right level of busy. It is beautifully decorated with some interesting historical pieces. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

A very fun bar! Came on a Friday night around 8 but was able to get two bar seats still. The music was excellent and lovely festive decorations in November too. Drinks are expensive but you’re in the centre of Dublin, so it’s to be expected.

This place definitely lived up to the reviews! Incredibly decorated interior with very friendly service. The food was amazing, and the live music was a perfect touch. I recommend trying any of the pies!

Great place for kickin' back some pints, and having a cottage pie while listening to some live music. Restaurant is separate from the pub. Oh, and chicken wings were really good!

One of my favourites that Temple Bar has to offer. Really fun staff and well priced in comparison to the competitors. Spent a lot of my time here as the atmosphere was just perfect and set for a proper session.

We had a lovely couple of hours in here. Despite it being a Monday evening (between 5-7pm) there was a fantastic live singer called Patrick O'Byrne on providing great entertainment and ambience in several different languages.
This is a truly beautiful pub throughout that has a really great feel, and I was astounded by the spiral staircase which I discovered unexpectedly on the way to the (very well kept) toilets, with a lovely Christmas tree adding to the vibe.
If you're in Dublin and want a great night out, or just need to kill a couple of hours before leaving for a flight, pop in here! I'll 100% be returning.

1st time there yesterday. Had a fantastic day. Bands in from 2 in the afternoon, a really great pub, the atmosphere was top noch, great fun had by our party of 7. It was a friends bday and the Murphy Sisters (1 of the bands) made a big deal of her, we couldn't have planned it. It's Temple Bar prices, but worth the money for the free entertainment all day 😀

A beautiful place to enjoy a few beers; lovely high ceiling with lots of history and plenty of nice whiskies and spirits to admire behind the bar. The rear room with the circle staircase is stunning and a nice place to escape to if you want somewhere a bit quieter.
Staff were friendly and warm.
Food, unfortunately was very poor for us. We only had some bar snacks, but it all just seemed to be fried frozen food - and very expensive..
That said, I'll likely return if/when I'm back in Dublin - I'll just enjoy the drinks next time.
