Good pubs near Olympia theatre Dublin

wally1990

Hi all,

Off to Dublin tomorrow for a gig in the Olympia on my lonesome and I'm not familiar with Dublin

Should be hitting Dublin about 4 30, before the gig starts at 8pm.

Any recommendations for Pubs near the Olympia to head to and have a few pints ?

Thanks in advance

You're spoilt for choice. My fav is Darkey Kelly's just around the corner on Fishamble Street.

I think Brogans is the closest, gets very busy coming close to gig time.

The Foggy Dew isn't far away on Dame Street.

Porterhouse Temple Bar on Parliament Street if you want to try out some different beers.

Underdog, downstairs on the left of the entrance to the Olympia. Nice little spot and 30 seconds to the entrance!

The Stags Head, Hogans, Long Hall

There's figuratively millions to choose from. Brogan's is right next door. The Foggy is just up the road at the Central Bank. Stags Head and Dame Tavern just behind the Mercantile. O'Neills is comfy and do a decent pint. That's just a sample within 100m.

Cheers all!!

Didn't realise there is so many right near by

Honestly I'm gonna refer to the names you all suggested and might do myself a pub crawl

If you fancy a quiet drink, the Library Bar at the Central Hotel is about 5 minutes away on foot. Through the front door, up the main stairs to the 1st floor, then left.

Be prepared to pay over 6 quid a pint mate.

O'Neills on Suffolk Street is also a good place to get some grub.

Porterhouse Temple Bar also does food, and are supposed to have a 'Beer of the Day' for €4.50.

Very much depends on where you go, the Lord Edward at Christchurch is a fiver, underdog has cask for a fiver, if you head to the Nassau st porterhouse there's a pint and bottle of the day for 4.50, but yeah if you head into a touristy place in temple bar or darky Kelly's you're going to pay the price.

Is peader kearneys still cheap drinks before 7?

Machine fcuking head!

Del Griffith

Yea, pre-Machine Head, probably The Foggy Dew is best bet.

The secret got out ..not so quiet anymore. If you are in earlier in the evening it might be quiet.

We should draw up a list of quiet pubs in Dublin city center.

You'll most likely find fellow fans in Bruxelles, maybe even the band for a post gig drink.

Glad to see someone mentioned the Oak...fav wee pub...the bar that is...nice food in lounge too..

Oh its a Machine H gig, then its The Mezz, The Foggy or Brux unless you're staying over on the northside then its Fibbers.

All that said, since Slim left The Mezz its been 50/50 but its just around the corner from your gig so worth checking out.

It’s one that goes under the radar, never or should I rarely is it too packed, great staff, ambience and drinks

Love the seat up by the window, great for watching the world go by....
