10 Best Bars in Dublin, Ireland
Let’s face it — people come to Ireland, so they can drink Guinness, meet friendly locals, and check out the incredible nature. One of the main perks of visiting Ireland is the never-ending list of bars and pubs that churn out point after point of creamy and foamy Guinness with the white top head. So, where should you go if you are in Dublin for a few days?
Although Temple Bar often takes the cake when it comes to tourists, this doesn’t mean it is the best. If you want an authentic Irish bar experience, check out these pubs that are lesser-known than the big-named pubs near the water.
Gin Palace Dublin
If you are tired of drinking pint after pint of Guinness, head to The Gin Palace in Dublin for a tasty and mouth watering cocktail that is going to keep you dancing all night long! After all, G&Ts are super popular in Ireland, with most bars offering specials and high-quality gin that can help you avoid that next-day hangover you are dreading so much.
Grogan’s
If a gastropub is what you’re after, then head to Grogan’s. This is the best spot to have a chill meet-up with a mate or stop in for a post-work pint. Having a pint of Guinness or Carlsberg and munching on a hot toaster is a mid-afternoon treat.
John Kavanagh’s
Known as ‘The Gravedigger’s, the name alone could scare off a few people from coming here. But don’t worry — you won’t need to worry! The name corresponds to the gravediggers who used to frequent here during the early 19th century, keeping the city’s workers well hydrated after their shift. Cozy up to the bar here and have a few pints to get a classic old-school vibe.
The Long Hall
If you want a classic pub, with cozy booths, wooden tables, pictures on the walls, and people-watching areas, then this is the place to go. Head to the wooden bar to sit with your mates and have a brim-busting pint.
9 Below
For those who want a typical ‘bar’ vibe instead of the cozy Irish pub, head to 9 Below at St. Stephen’s Green for a taste of luxury, carefully crafted cocktails, and a more upscale aura.
Peruke and Periwig
Do you love cocktails with over 5 ingredients, flames coming out of the top, and interesting garnishes? If so, then head to Peruke and Periwig for a taste of luxury and opulence that will make you “ooh” and “aah” all night long!
Pantibar
Pantibar is a well-known local spot that can really turn the party up late at night! A staple in the gay-borhood in Dublin, Pantibar churns out tasty pints and an inclusive atmosphere that makes it one of the favorites in the city.
Token
If you are in the mood for a different type of experience, then head to Token to enjoy a cocktail, pint, or snack with a video game! We love how you will feel like a kid again, with an adult beverage, of course, and meet others who are interested in playing Pac-Man while they sip on a Guinness!
Bow Lane
Another sport that combines entertainment, games, and drinks, Bow Lane is a well-known spot in the city for brunch, afternoon drinks, and all-night fun! Head here if you want to eat at a cozy restaurant, try some of the best Irish gin, and munch on some of the cheesy and filling bar snacks.
The Bar With No Name
We LOVE this bar! Although it is meant to be kept a “secret” with a speakeasy vibe, the secret has gotten out — but still goes here anyways. We love this bar with its homely vibe that makes it feel like you have stumbled into someone’s living room and are hidden behind a fake wall. The anonymity of the bar, sunny rooftop terrace, and tasty cocktails are what make this bar so popular.
