The decor is exactly what I imagined, complete with stained glass and a real stag's head. Ordered the fish and chips, which were crisp on the outside with a flavorful batter, and tender fish on the inside. It also came with a nice little pea salad, with mushy peas and whole peas together with the greens. I definitely need to make this! Also got the Irish Cottage Pie and it was very tasty - rich in flavor but lighter than I expected, in a good way. Shared a pint of Guiness (just missed splitting the G - lol) and finished with an Irish coffee, which hit the spot. This is definitely a great place to go for a quiet pint or for a fun night of food and friends.

We got their fish & chips and Irish Cottage Pie. Both were very good and filling. Fish was nicely breaded and fried. Good flavor in their batter. Cottage pie was full of flavor but not overly rich. Great atmosphere and food/drinks. Lots of pubs to choose from in Dublin - Stag's Head is worthy of a visit.

We were famished after a long trip and found Foley's Bar near our hotel, went in for an early…read moresupper. Foley's has two floors, the downstairs area offers live music but no real food menu so we headed upstairs. The place was crowded (later learned there was an American football game in town with 30,000 fans from Georgia Tech and Florida State; in future I would avoid visiting Dublin during this time!) Foley's offers typical pub food in a casual sports bar atmosphere. My chicken tenders were nicely spiced and meaty, although the accompanying fries were kind of bland. Fish and chips were good too. Service was slow but that's to be expected on a crowded evening. We were surprised to see the check in $USD (no choice of currency offered) rather than in Euros (the coin of the realm), with a 8.75% "exchange rate markup fee" tacked on to the total. We weren't given a choice of currency as stated on the bill (see picture). I've never seen this done elsewhere, seems like a petty way to make a bit of extra money from unsuspecting tourists. We were tired and the place was crowded so we paid and left without comment. But that unwarranted currency fee didn't leave a good taste in our mouths at all.

We arrived for lunch a little after opening on a Saturday. The place filled up quickly and was full before we left. This was also our first time having a meal with the Sweet Chili sauce, which we've both had on other foods before but something about the fried food in Ireland made the sauce that much tastier! We order boneless wings and pepperoni pizza. The Red Headed cocktail was amazing - earthy and a tad sweet. The restaurant overall has a snazzy feel, the bathrooms were by far the nicest I had seen this far and the staff was friendly.

How rad would it be if he were there at the same time? One of these days. This space is absolutely gorgeous. Proper Victorian pub decor in reds with stately wood all about. Proper wooden bar. Original interior from 1881. The pub has been around since 1766 and is one of the oldest ones in Dublin. They make the best Irish coffee, hands down. They've got all of the proper pours, whiskey, gins, and so on. The prices are affordable though they have a few things that are a little more (depending on age). I can't go to Dublin and not go to The Long Hall. Facts.

I got the fish and chips and was underwhelmed by the dish to say the least. There's better places to go to get that, and I only ordered it because they were out of loaded potatoes. On the positive note we came back when it flipped to a club. Super fun that you have live music during normal business hours and then a full party at night. The dj was pretty good for the most part and then adding a live trumpet and saxophone player was cool too. Definitely fun vibes. Also love that it is multi leveled but sad that not all levels were available to explore. Great that they have multiple bars to order from and all their bartenders are kind and quick. Restrooms were well maintained as well as any spills that hit the dance floor.

However, Searsons goes way beyond traditional pub grub. I had a gnocchi dish, with roasted tomatoes, and a little melted cheese, that was delicious. My wife had a roast beef dinner, that was massive. My son had traditional fish 'n chips, so you can go the expected route as well. The pub has their own brews on tap, as well as well known beer and cider brands. I should not forget to mention that the Irish coffee here is perfect. Finally, the service was attentive and very friendly. On a Saturday night, the pub was full and hopping with Men's and Women's Rugby, plus a Premier League game, on the telly. Very fun environment!

Prices were moderate for this kind of atmosphere and beautifully prepared food. I recommend a stop here if in the neighborhood.
