Best places: Sports bars in The Ward DED 1986, Ireland

Large, lively bar for comfort food and sports on TV, plus live traditional Irish music at weekends.

Skylights fill this 1920s-style bar with light while a back courtyard provides outdoor space.

🫤 A decent place, but the prices are extortionate now. At least €7 for a pint of anything but Guinness and Smithwicks. I know times are tough, but I haven't seen anywhere in the city as expensive outside of Temple Bar. The pizzas are nice, but again they're at least 50% more expensive than the photos...

👍👍 The fish and chips was fantastic! Nice environment as well.

👍👍 This place was close to our hotel, Hilton Hampton Inn, we had dinner there one night, very nicely decorated seating area, although it's a bit small. The food was good. Service was good too, but the nice middle-aged gentleman in charge was a bit quiet, all was good .

Live traditional music is offered nightly at this cosy pub decorated with vintage beer posters.

Victorian pub under wooden-beamed eaves, with bikes hanging on the walls and a party vibe.

👍👍 Lovely atmosphere,lovely place, good prices !

👍👍 Great place with friendly people and amazing atmosphere. Chris is a very welcoming and friendly host. Definitely hope to return in the future!

😐 Good pub, but no bicycle parking even though it's just beside one of the biggest cycling routes in Dublin. Did not feel welcome as a cyclist. Edit: Attached a picture of the bike park suggested by the owner (a rusty metal pole at the side of the road). Cyclists are the same paying customers as moto...

👍👍 Went for the pub quiz on Thursday. Had a ball with the wife. Was served all night by a barmaid called siobhán. Excellent service, very attentive

👍👍 Breakfast here on a Sunday morning with the Sunday papers is lovely

👍👍 One of the best pubs in Dublin 4. Great atmosphere, especially during live sport events. There are two separate places in the inside to enjoy a calmer pint if you wish. Highly recommended for group bookings as well.
