This well laid out pub fits into the neighborhood hangout/dive bar category with its established Irish-sports bar theme and comfortable interior. I love dive bars so it gets a 1 1/2 stars for doing that well. We typically only experience this pub on weekend nights for the bands and dancing between 6:30pm to 11:30pm. This time range sees the end of happy hour, the ramp up for the band and the pub shift change. The happy hour food is a great portion for an active night of dancing should the band prove worthy. The menu is simple and easy to read with plenty of standard pub comfort food. The kitchen staff has stabilized and the food is very consistent. 50+ beers on tap is nice but can be a bit overwhelming to choose from. I give out another 1 1/2 stars for doing that well. The live entertainment has been very good with 2 bands on some nights. Especially when the first band is danceable for the 40/50/60 crowd and the second band is better suited for the millennial crowd. That arrangement earns them the fourth star. The reasons for no fifth star are the facility upkeep, bathrooms, lack of parking and bad exterior marketing. This establishment could benefit from a better business sign on the 2 very busy roads. You have to be right on top of the place to see their sign. Theyre missing on paying customers. The whole place needs a good elbow grease rubdown and some fresh paint maybe some drywall work. The bathrooms are 100% dive bar. Nuff said. Parking hurts business but we started taking Uber so that doesnt matter anymore. Summary: the branding is spot on, beer is cold, food is good and the liquor pour is normal. Worth the visit but pick your day so youll know what to expect for entertainment.

I love this place. It has a great atmosphere - very relaxed and laid back, nothing pretentious, very welcoming in a small town kind of way. I prefer the going during the work week as the weekend crowds can get a bit much, but thats only because my friends and I prefer to waste the night away tossing darts. The bar has three pool tables (free on mondays), one shuffleboard, one dart board (always with at least 3 darts), and plenty of tables all over. They also have a strong karaoke following and trivia - both good times. Great beer selection for too. More craft beers from all over the NW than you can try in a night. Decent prices; not the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive. Well usually down a couple pints of the good stuff, then finish up the night drinking the generic, and our tabs usually stay under ~$20. Great place to philosophize with friends, rally with coworkers, endure family, or get lost in your ladys eyes. Laid back, unpretentious, and honest as they come. Fun times.

The Dublin Pub has a fantastic name, however, I was more focused on getting some good food and good beverages with friends. I was there for Trivia Night, and I ordered a bacon burger and Diet Coke. Unfortunately, Dublin Pub doesnt have Coke or Pepsi products, so I was left longing for a decent-tasting soda. While the hamburger was big enough, the meat was tasteless (frozen, no doubt), bacon was somewhat burnt, and the fries were incredibly awful - think day-old McDonalds with less salt. At the end of the night, I left hungry, knowing it would just be more trouble to order something else from the kitchen, who was probably already overworked from the influx of people there due to Trivia Night. I will probably come back for the Trivia, but wont be ordering any food next time.

I went here with 2 friends for beers and food on Wednesday. The beer was wonderful, the bar was great, but dont go anywhere near the "happy" hour burger. I spent the night squirming with stomach cramps only to wake up at 4am to revisit my last meal. I missed work all day thursday with stomach pains and chills. Its now Friday and I am still on a liquid only diet. My 2 friends also suffered varying degrees of intestinal distress. On the plus side, Ive lost 5 pounds. I spoke with the manager and he said "sorry", not like you would say it if you meant it, more like you would tell someone sorry for beating them at an intense game or whipping them at darts.

Back in the 80s late the USD Fort Fisher LSD -40 was there for for dry dock .While I was there in 1987 -1988 my friends and I used to frequent the pub alot. Live music and Irish food I remember the lady there was a great friend to us . I only wish today I remembered. Im at a local Irish pub in down town Phoenix and sweet memories with the live music food and friends I met there. Today Im retired from the US Navy and still remember the good times there .

Horrible first time Ive been here. Couldnt cook food because the only person who could cook. Had to wait for other cook to show up. Didnt bother even offering a menu while we waited for cook. Ordered iced tea, wasnt even made. Bar tender was not attentive to customers or friendly. Did not stay to order food. She didnt even ask what we wanted until about 15 minutes after the cook showed up. Would not recommened going here, unless you like slow, unfriendly bar tenders.

Its hard to express the little extra thats gained when you can tell the cook gives a damn. This place serves what is easily one of the best mushroom swiss burgers Ive ever had, and Ive yet to experience even a slight disappointment from anything else on the menu. They dont play their music too loud like far too many bars tend to do. Easily one of my favorite places to get a drink and a bite to eat.

First off, the food is good. Really good. Almost enough to make up for the fact that every other aspect is terrible. Service was ridiculous. We had to go up to the bar to order, despite all three bartenders/servers seemingly standing around chatting each other up. The few times we did interact with them they were curt and rude. Also no free refills on soda.

Great beer selection, but it can be a little hit and miss on whether or not everything on draft is available. We were recently there on a Monday night and they had trivia going and free pool all night. It wasnt too busy, but it fills up on the weekends and theres usually live music. Keep in mind that they often charge a cover if theres a band performing.

We love the beer selection, service is always good, and good bar food. Cant evaluate more than the nachos and spicy fries, but they were fairly large for the price and good. As a disclaimer, I dont usually give 5 stars based on the idea that no one is perfect but this bar is a safe go-to.

What a great SW hotspot. Was part of a benefit for the Philippines earthquake that was hosted at the Dublin and was so happy they agreed to help us out with that cause. Great spot, fun stage area, good dance floor, billiards and lots of space for big parties. Thanks Dublin!

If you are looking for a dive bar then this place is great. It is a sort of Irish pub with a large selection of beers, almost 50 on tap. They typically have events going on like bingo once a week and live music. There are a few tvs here so you can watch the game.
