    More than acceptable pint of Guinness. Good selection of beers on tap and range of bottled beers. Something for everyone really and interesting mix of customers. Has plenty of character and some brilliant music. Definitely worth a visit.

    Well. I had been here few years back. Quaint I thought. Then a great DJ set from the era of the band I’d seen. So last week. Another band. The bar upstairs is slightly raised. So the bar staff have a good view. The range of beer is excellent. Including a lovely session ipa. I saw McArdles. A Louth Ale. Not seen it in years. Thirty years. Should I risk a pint? Bar lady said they sell a huge amount of it. Great. And it didn’t disappoint. Fair price too. They serve the gin and tonic with a splash gun of tonic, hence it is no more expensive than a pint!!! Thanks. If I find the receipt I will add it. And the good Bas service continued downstairs. Even when the McArdles ran out. And no question of running us out of the building either. The bar upstairs is horse shoe shaped. And can be closed off with a curtain to make the entrance half cozy when it is not busy. The venue downstairs is small. Intimate? A huge crowd is probably 100. But it is brilliant. The loos upstairs are ... functional. Downstairs positively swanky. The place has a great biz and seems to be the home of the Rockabilly set. We will be back.

    Lovely pub and great music and vibe - I was just slightly distracted by the fish tank as the water looked a little murky and the fish a little sad!

    Succulent guiness and cool bar. Glass collector has a serious attitude though and unfortunately he did spoil the bar for me. I put down my pint of guiness on a table as I was talking to a buddy and he decided to take it even though there was a good solid third of a pint left in it. I told him that it was mine and I wasnt finished with it and he started to get narky with me. I was very polite but he walked off in a huff. He came back 5 minutes later when I had finished my pint and he sarcastically asked me if he could take it now. I politely said he could as I was now finished my pint, and he then gestured the empty pint towards his eye and said something along the lines of "are you sure I can take it, look there's a small drop left you'll probably want to finish that too". Sure for gods sake of course I wasn't going to let him throw a third of a pint down the drain when it costs over 6€. Money grows on trees in Dublin I'd say, must look into bringing a few seeds to cork and setting up my money tree forest. No need of it and I certainly won't be returning after that psycopathic display. Pity as it was a charming bar otherwise.

    One of the best bars in Dublin. Great spit for alternative music. They've got a venue in the basement where they put on bands from all over the world.

    A hidden gem. There are not many bars like this left. Genuine, friendly staff, good beer and good vibes. What more do you want. Passing by this place without stopping in is missing out.

    For the Rockabilly lovers this is the pub you have to visit. Staff very friendly and atmosphere is amazing. I fall in love with the vintage jukebox but unfortunately it’s just for decoration.

    Unique pub thats an alternative music bar. Nice selection of beers. Would probably go more if I was in that area more often. Toilets are pretty bad though. Massive gap in cubicle door where someone in the urinal can see right in.

    I like the bar have been a few times. Good music, atmosphere and drink selection. However yesterday we had to leave after our first drink as did a few others I seen as the sound quality from the speakers was actually unbearable. The reverb and bass were so high that the aged speakers couldn't handle it and just sounded like a ships fog horn, you could actually feel it in your whole body where we were sitting and the staff nor the dj thought it was a problem , we couldn't even hear the songs just a deep bellowing sound that overwhelmed everything.

    Thomas house was recommended by our waiter in the restaurant we visited and it really is a great place. They're serving a variety of alcohol free drinks, which we very enjoyed, but they have several beers (with alcohol) on tap. Everyone was very nice and we got to hang out with one of the regulars - a beautiful black dog 🥰 We enjoyed it so much that we came back every night of our 4 day stay in Dublin.

👍👍 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...
