    Atmosphere was lovely but the male staff here were consistently very rude and condescending to the girls I went here with. One bartender even made my friend cry with the way he spoke to her. Disappointed as the decor was very promising but overall this space is not safe for women. I went here with like 10 women and every one of them had a bad experience. With SEVERAL bartenders. Disappointing.

    Delicious and perfectly cooked and constructed burger. Great beer and atmosphere. Even in the busiest of times was able to find a seat at the bar to enjoy this meal. Fries included a delicious aioli. Would certainly recommend!

    Lovely relaxed pub. Good music. Great selection of beers. Provides board games for customers to play. Food was tasty, but not amazing

    Love this spot! Every time we come the staff are so nice and the beers are amazing, especially tonight the staff were incredible, the security man, to the man who seated us and the lovely blonde girl who served us, they all worked together to get us a lovely table and made us feel so comfortable and kept us fed and watered!! Thank you guys ☺️

    Booked table through "opentable" service, for 6 people DINNER at 7:15 yesterday. Arrived at the table on time, as we took a menu from the bar the staff came to our table around 7:20 to tell us they are short staffed and that kitchen is closing and they are taking last orders. Staff member came back 2 minutes afterwards and said that kitchen is closed and they don't serve food anymore. Around 8:20 they served food to the table of 4-6 people next to us (older well dressed couples) and when we asked another staff member if we could place the food order she told us that the kitchen closed at 7:45. I really doubt that people on that table ordered food 1 hour in advance and waited that long to get served. Since we came hungry for dinner, we asked if we could order ourselves a pizza then and eat at the table which they refused. They could've at least sent an email in advance just to notify us about the situation. How is it possible to book a dinner place and then get refused to order the food at 7PM. Really bad service. P.s. leaving review here as they prohibited reviews on Opentable.

    Good spot for a date or chilling and having some craft beers. The beers list could do with some prices on them. It's quite dark and can get quite busy. But the candle lit vibe and board games is fun Note: the toilets are down a considerable amount of stairs if that would be a issue.

    It’s dark inside in places, candlelight’s add to the ambience. The food however, excellent, had a beautiful chicken sandwich with all the trimmings, their garlic sauce is beautiful and full of flavour ( I would love the chefs recipe!!)

    A nice pub for lunch and a drink (wide variety of beers and ciders!). The food is generous and tasty and the menu has a nice selection including vegetarian options. We had the falafel and beetroot hummus salad and the chicken and chips which were good. The staff are also friendly which is always a plus.

    2 of us came to have some quick and easy brunch/lunch , and the staff was really friendly and welcoming. We ordered daily soup, loaded fries, and a sandwich. Food is heavenly, and music is not too loud. I will be bringing back more friends.

    Good selection of craft beers, great atmosphere considering it was a Tuesday.

  • 4/5 Fredric S. 11 months ago on Google
    I guess much could be said about this place. So, let’s do just that. Is it packed by genZ and millennials? It is … and it lends the place a certain inviting vibrance. Is the food better sounding off the menu than on the plate? Well … served lukewarm, yeah. Could probably be something else once they serve their food piping hot. Is it sporting a beer board worth the detour? Well not many places can claim they have something “all that special” but they tend to keep it interesting enough. Final question. Bring it on! Should you pay them a visit? The answer is : Hell Yeah!

    Bring back the fish tacos! Above decent pub food with a serving staff that will assist when you need, but won't give you more attention than that. Lovely candlelight inside, very cozy on a rainy day. But I miss those fish tacos...

    Love the atmosphere it's such an old pub vibe, very chill you can relax. The candelabras give such a vibe especially in the autumn and winter months. Great drinks selection only place I know that have framboise on tap. Food is good although a little pricey for pub grub. One of my favourite spots.

    Are breakfast here as part of our stay at Drury Court Hotel. The pastries were delicious, coffee lovely and the cooked food tasted so fresh. Servers were attentive and couldn’t fault the experience so definitely will be returning!

    Quirky layout with nice furniture although not always practical table sizes (too big). Nice selection of alcohol and great atmosphere out on the street. The candle lit tables are quite nice too along with the board games. Generally enjoy my visits here

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the best modern pub in Dublin, with a great selection of local craft and classic beers. The staff are also fantastic and always play good music.

  • 5/5 Nas B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cool place and an large choice of beers like Fisher's. The decoration and the atmosphere are great. Staff is really cool and incredibly fast !

  • 5/5 I F. 1 year ago on Google
    Good music. Dark inside but has candles which added to atmosphere. Average drink prices. Plenty of board games available to play. Bathrooms are good too. Tricky to get space on a Saturday (as expected in such a central location). Staff was friendly too

  • 2/5 Colin C. 1 year ago on Google
    Myeah. P Macs used to be good. Beer selection has stagnated and is pretty static. Staff are more concerned about looking cool than serving customers. Makes for some entertaining watching though. I won't be visiting again.

  • 4/5 Brad P. 4 years ago on Google
    I came here with my wife for a few beers and pub food. The beer selection is top notch with ~25 draft beers from the US and Europe. My wife had a Lagunitas IPA and I tried an IPA made for P. Macs from Trouble Brewing. My wife had the chicken sandwich and I had the chicken wings. Both were good but not great. I would go back for the beer selection and the ambience is extremely cool with the red candles.

    I’m sad I only discovered PMacs a couple months before leaving Dublin. There’s a wide range of beers, really good food and comfortable seating. The music can be kind of loud, I enjoy that but it may not be to everyone’s taste

  • 5/5 Nik A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere there. But it's not easy to find a seat there even on a working day 🤣

  • 5/5 wildworlde 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy. Perfect place for a pint with good friends. Staff was very friendly and service was great. Notice the technique used to refresh the candles when they are burning low.

  • 4/5 WWTraveler27 1 year ago on Google
    Would recommend this pub. Fun atmosphere and the candles burning at each table are wicked cool as well. Staff was quick with the drinks 🍺 and we had a good time.

👍👍 Fantastic indoor entertainment venue in Dublin that holds up to 13,000 people. It's really well marshalled and queueing is kept to a minimum for drinks, food, merchandise and toilets. If you find the ground floor queues start to grow, just go upstairs for smaller queues. There's great sound and visi...
