How many nights have I spent in the Porterhouse with friends listening to life music and drinking their home brews. Countless memories will always bring me back to this place with good beers and stouts and massive portions of food.

One of the best pub in Dublin city center. Great selection of beer. Sometimes when they are crowded the service is not perfect but you won't remember after a couple of pints.

Loved this place! Went on a Thursday night and the atmosphere was just perfect for dinner and a few drinks. The food is delicious, the wine is very good and really reasonably priced. Staff are great too, very friendly and attentive but just leave you to enjoy it. Would recommend.

If you have a little time to relax, I highly recommend it. Temple bar is all about the atmosphere and beer (specially Guinness) so sometimes it's nice to go a place like this, where you can also find music 7 days a week and LOTS of hand-crafted beer from a lot of Breweries in Ireland. Hop Head Pale Ale 🍻🍺 is the really good one. I went alone, with friends I made afterwards and even with my granpa! (funny story) but he also enjoyed it sooo so much.. Must see if you around Temple Bar.

There is an incredible amount of beers on selection as well as spirits, cocktails and everything in between. Therefore drinks are obviously the main attraction to this venue!

Well priced and popular; food is served mainly on the top floor and was very good and reasonably priced - service was very good too even with the rowdy bunch that we were (thanks for that)!

Live music played on both the Friday and Saturday evening and it was really good. It was surprisingly busier on the Friday than Saturday (one in, one out after midnight) but that might have just been the weekend we visited.

In comparison to the one in London, we'd have to vote in favour of London just because of the beautiful copper and more unusual layout but the one in Dublin is beautiful and definitely one of our favourites!
