Dublin isn’t just a city you visit — it’s a city you feel. Its energy hums through cobbled streets, laughter spills from open doorways, and music rises into the night air. Nowhere is that spirit stronger than in its legendary pubs — the beating heart of the capital, where stories are shared, friendships are born, and Ireland’s warmth comes alive.

Raise a glass in The Temple Bar, one of the most photographed pubs in the world, alive with music every day of the week. Step back in time at The Brazen Head, Dublin’s oldest pub, where centuries of laughter and lore linger in the air. Feel the charm of Toners, once a favourite of poet W.B. Yeats, or sink into the cozy comfort of Kehoe’s, a 200-year-old gem that feels like a home away from home. At Mulligan’s, beloved by Dublin’s writers, and The Cobblestone, where traditional music fills the soul, you’ll discover the heartbeat of authentic Ireland.

Every pub in Dublin tells a story — of music and memory, of poetry and pride, of the joy of simply being together.

Come to Dublin, and you won’t just find great pubs — you’ll find a city that welcomes you like an old friend.

There’s a vibrant food scene in Dublin, from quick and tasty budget eats to multi Michelin starred restaurants. In the city centre, there are a wide range of places to eat, like pubs serving traditional Irish food, cafés for light meals, brasserie-style restaurants and a huge variety of authentic international cuisines. Walk around Capel Street and you’ll find casual Asian restaurants where you can get an excellent meal for under €10, from Korean fried chicken to Vietnamese pho or bánh mì. The Liberties and Portobello are regarded as foodie hotspots, with popular brunch cafés and neighbourhood style bistros. Stoneybatter has some great ramen and Italian restaurants.

Wherever you eat, it’s best to book restaurants in advance, particularly at weekends. However it’s always worth trying your luck at the last minute – keep an eye on restaurant social media accounts to snag a cancelled table at the eleventh hour. Or phone them directly, as online reservation systems aren’t always kept up to date. There are plenty of restaurants that serve food all day, though some do close between lunch and dinner. One thing worth noting is that dinner service generally starts at around 5pm and runs until 10pm.

There’s nowhere in the world quite like a Dublin pub. Step inside and you’re not just ordering a drink — you’re stepping into the beating heart of Ireland’s capital, where music, laughter, and storytelling flow as freely as the Guinness.

From the cobbled streets of Temple Bar, where live music spills from the door every day, to the ancient walls of The Brazen Head — Dublin’s oldest pub, dating back to 1198 — each venue holds its own slice of history and heart.

Wander into Toners, once frequented by poet W.B. Yeats, and feel the echoes of literary greatness. Or settle into Kehoe’s, over 200 years old, with its charming upstairs snug that feels more like a home than a bar. At Mulligan’s, where Dublin’s writers once gathered over quiet pints and conversation, you can still sense that creative hum in the air. And for the true sound of Ireland, nothing compares to The Cobblestone, where traditional music fills every corner and the atmosphere feels alive with heritage.

Dublin’s pubs aren’t just places to drink — they’re places to belong. They’re where strangers become friends, where every toast carries a story, and where the soul of Ireland shines brightest.

In Dublin, a night at the pub isn’t an activity — it’s an experience, a memory, a feeling you’ll never forget.
