A true neighborhood pub, we were probably the only tourists there. Went for one drink and ended up staying about 4 hours. Music started at 9:30. Well done and a good sound level for a fine experience and did not drown out conversation. Probably good to get there during the quieter time of 19:00 to 20:30 for choice in seating.

Pub was excellent for Irish music and beer. People here are friendly and nice. It's feel very good to see such pubs.

A really good pint here, a new favourite of mine. Quite cramped and very old decor inside, everything you want from a pub when the weather is awful out. If it's nice then you can sit outside and watch the world go by.

Cracking pub. Best pint of Guinness in Dublin by far. The owner Stuart runs a tight ship,great selection of whiskey and other drinks too. The craic is mighty with the regulars too. Made to feel welcome every visit by them and the staff. Go in the evening when the fire is lit and traditional Irish ballads do be playing… When you call Gavin the barman “ happy “ ..happy hour is enacted. 2 for 1 on all drinks. Great incentive

Beer excellent. Staff lovely. Company congenial. Nice relaxed atmosphere. You can sing a few songs or play a few tunes with no worries. A real traditional Irish pub. Love it.❤❤❤

A truly Irish pub. Good atmosphere and beer.

Great authentic Dublin pub. We arrived here just after 10.30 on a Friday morning - we had a train to catch at 12.45 so a great pit stop before our train journey. Great chats with barman and other customers. Great banter. Guinness not bad either. What a real Irish pub should be.

Great bar to have an Irish Coffee in, they also have a huge selection of premium Irish Whiskey. Must try is their Powers Irish Coffee..!

Best traditional pub experience ever, the atmosphere was very warm and the pints very good. The bartenders are lovely and the band that was playing there very good. It's quite tiny inside and maybe difficult to find a table but it doesn't matter too much.

Lovely wee pub. I popped in for a pint while going round the shops, and was pleasantly greeted with a lovely fire and friendly barman and punters. Next time I'm in Dublin I'll make an issue of stopping in again.

Love this pub, always great craic, locals are sound and the banter is top notch. The pub is spotless and if you're very lucky you'll manage to get the table by the open fire, but you'll have to be quick as there's always a race for it. I can't wait for the pub to reopen, I'll be straight back in for a pint.

Brilliant pub! Friendly staff behind the bar, great live music, amazing atmosphere all round! I was informed to come to this bar specifically if I wanted a decent pint of Guinness and I was not disappointed. Guinness poured right! It can be a bit tight for space and seating at the bar is limited. If you do manage to get seated at the bar it's worth staying in the place for a few jars before moving on. Met a nice group of lads whilst here, good craic and the only reason I left was because it was closing time! If I am ever in Dublin again I will be sure to visit this place again!

Great pint old school pub great trad music

Decent little pub, good traditional feel which is becoming rarer in the city centre. Good place for a chat with a mate.

And suddenly you meet young folks who play great traditional Irish music when sipping a Guinness at the bar. Also people were friendly.

Lovely place friendly and local music 5 *****

I'm a regular patron on a Thursday Eve for a quick pint ,this particular day your not so nice barman Brian decided to make a new rule ,no trainers so wouldn't serve me ,took my business to slats much better pint too ,thanks Brian , students don't go to college in suits or workware, hope your happy in your job!

Great proper Irish pub, whose staff have a good sense of humour. I would recommend for sure, and will go back. It has a delightful homely interior.

Some what of a hidden gem on Capel Street, could miss it but you're better off not. Great compact bar with a mix of regulars and locals passing by. The open fire is the clincher for what makes McNeill's so great! Really good Guinness too.

this was the best pub we were in during our time in dublin, so authentic. we had so much fun!

Great boozer. Good pint and the staff as always have character

Great, cosy little pub with an open fire.

Lovely outdoor space on Capel St. to watch the world go by. Great service. Can't wait to have a pint indoors here. Wishing them great success.

Lovely real Irish pub in the centre of the city. Fantastic service, great drink selection especially the Guinness. Toasted sandwiches, traditional Irish music, real fire, what's not to love?

Classic old Irish pub with amazing environment, sometimes orchestrated by great traditional live music, draughts are great and the whiskey was very well selected, steward does a great job keeping the place fun and exciting

Always a good pint here first time back since the pandemic and its still one of the top pubs in Dublin.

A really cool place alot of irish music going friendly but big let down toilets upstairs mens stong smell of urine had not been cleaned

Fantastic pub! Great music!

Visiting Dublin for the 1st time. Our absolute favorite place to visit. Will visit again and again when in Dublin. Thank you so much for your nice gesture and atmosphere. Cheers, Bjartur&Jónína

A nice little bar to step into away from the hustle of a busy Dublin.. reasonably priced pint and a good Liverpool supporter behind the bar makes all the difference

2nd in our #10barschallenge

Good pub in a great location. Live music on a Saturday night and the Guinness is spot on

Amazing Irish live music. Very friendly staff and customers. People are enjoying themselves. Had a great time there

My wife and I stopped in here about a week ago after hitting all the touristy pubs in Dublin. This was by far our favorite pub we went to in Dublin. Stuart is amazing. He was full of cool stories and history lessons. The locals having a few drinks were also very welcoming. Can’t wait to come back.

Nice. More like for local, but nice. I've asked for a glass of dark beer, but I've got a light one 😁. Wanted to try something local, maybe that's why. It's not so much place inside, that's why come earlier, if you want to drink here (I was there Friday evening).

This bar may not be very large, but it is full of warmth and coziness, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Additionally, the music and ambiance are not too noisy, allowing people to chat and enjoy a pleasant evening.

Amazing Guinness. Great old fashioned bar for a few drinks.

We had a nice exprience in this pub ! Asked for an irish Coffee and got an excellence one in that , also nice pints of guinness here and nice music !

McNeill's was a pub I never visited before, they don't have a kitchen, so food doesn't get in way. Great Guinness and Old school charm. Staff on the ball and helpful, especially to non locals. Proper local clientele, with accompanying humour. A little gem, hidden on a busy Capel Street.

Best Trad bar in Dublin by far. Quaint, brilliant atmosphere, great music. Locals chatty and friendly, musicians top notch, even a lovely fire. Absolutely a must see.

First Night in Dublin and First pub. Stumbled upon it and Struck Gold! The Music is as smooth as the pints. Phenomenal experience. 5 Stars to you 🏆

Great pub on my favourite Dublin Street. Nice mix of locals s and blow-ins. Traditional music, toasties and a perfect pint. The staff are great too.

Stopped in for a pint.

Amazing!!! Great environment, great people, great music... Loved it!

authentic and great! friendly staff, good atmosphere

This is a great spot! I was brought by a local friend when I asked for somewhere warm and with live music. Totally would recommend. Make you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit!

Love this place,

Lovely crowd and great live music!

Such a nice, tiny treasure box. Live music with passion ❤

(Translated by Google) Very nice little Irish bar with live music from half past nine. Gladly again. Average price from Dublin. Paid for 2 beers 11.40. Everything OK (Original) Sehr nette kleine irische Bar mit Live-Musik ab halb 9. Gerne wieder. Preislich im Schnitt von Dublin. Für 2 bier 11.40 bezahlt. Alles ok

Authentic and great atmosphere and range on tap

Lovely atmospheric place

Great spot for trad music, a pint of Guinness & the smell of a peat fire. Proper authentic Irish boozer that started out as a musical instrument shop I believe. It’s situated on Capel Street which has a gas mix of good Asian restaurants and a mix of bars. This is the spot for your pint though

Great atmosphere in this very cosy pub on a winters day the fire is lighting makes you feel homely & warm there is great banter & every evening there is live Irish music well worth a visit you might think you are going in for an hour and end up staying a few hours a very welcoming little pub in the heart of Dublin during the day there is home made soup, sandwiches , tea & coffee if ever passing call in for a visit you couln't go wrong.

Besides the odd sexist remark from the 'older men'.its a good.spot for a quiet pint o' Guinness

Cozy little pub. With a real fireplace and trad band at 9:30pm.

This place is outstanding. Great pints, friendly service, amazing music. If you are visiting Dublin, come here.

Cosy little bar with a fireplace and lovely pints of Guinness. Very nice staff. This place attracts a friendly crowd lending to interesting chats with your neighbours. Dog friendly too!

Nice, (touristy) traditional pub with live trad and not a bad pint. A kind of bring your friends when they come to visit type of place

Really nice cozy pub that serves a great pint of Guinness and great service provided by friendly staff. They was also a really good trad Irish music band playing. Definitely visit this pub if you are in Dublin, I will!

Deadly little spot in Dublin city centre that feels like your in an old Irish pub out in the middle of no where! Great friendly staff who pour the best Guinness and make unreal hot whiskeys. Thanks guys

Great Guinness

This was advised by one of the locals as a great place to go, not so known to visitors. It is small and it is great. I loved visiting this place, they were lovely and really friendly. Locals and the service as well. Thanks!

Cozy pub, nice live Trad sessions most evenings.

What a lovely pub . The musicians and singers are fantastic and very inclusive of their audience . Would highly recommend lovely warm welcome.

Great Little Pub

Lovely pub . small and quaint in the heart of a city

Great pint and and roaring fire Is amazing this time of year

(Translated by Google) Authentic Irish bar, the best of Dublin, during the week better than Saturday (Original) Auténtico bar irlandés, lo mejor de Dublín, entre semana mejor que el sabado

Friendly cosy

Lovely little pub very lively for the football

Brilliant the music on Sunday's evening!

Great for traditional Irish music 🎶, very popular and friendly, nice place to visit, recommend

Chill Irish pub, great service, good atmosphere.

Unreal... you can sit right by the musicians and listen to the wonderful music and stories, truly unique. People from the crowd joined in... we might have been the only Yankees, and the people were very hospitable... gooooo!

Great pub for a pint and for trad sessions

(Translated by Google) Very little pub! It's a music shop, and it's a place where young crew of less than 5 people come and perform. (Original) 아주 자그만 펍! Music Shop을 표방하고 있고 주로 5명 이내의 젊은 크루가 와서 공연하는 곳이라고 합니당 바로 근처에 한국음식점도 있으니 저녁 먹고 가서 즐기시면 좋을것 같아용 :)

Great old Irish pub just over the River Liffey in North Dublin.

Great hang out!

The experience of watching a live Irish band perform in front of you, with their flattering way with the instruments and that unspoken Irish atmosphere, it's wonderful! A pint of Guinness by your side, one of the oldest Irish pubs on the Northside, and the performance generally takes place on weekends. Prices of the drinks are fair! And as soon as you enter the pub, you feel no longer in Dublin. A typical countryside vibe.
