You order at the bar, then find a place to seat, so no hassle with ordering/paying/tipping. There are several distinct areas to hang out, including a stage in the back for live performers. While there, the music was spot on with 80's classics, so you had time to chat with your table and enjoy both the music and the beer, but I could see it getting a little more rowdy after the live music starts.

They have a big stage area that is easily viewed from much of the place. But even without the band on stage, it was super loud here. I opted for a Whiskey Sour and it was excellent. A whole lot of effort went into the making of this drink and it tasted perfect. As it should for a discounted price of €9! Nice place, very loud, not my favorite of the pub crawl though.

Maybe the shot of tequila that we got for being on the pub crawl helped? It's dark, there isn't a lot of seating, and you'll be hard challenged getting the bartender's attention.

I even decided to take a snooze, lying on one of their benches one time and wasn't disturbed by bar staff. I'm not sure how that reflects on The Mezz itself, but I had pleasant dreams. Word of advice: don't try the 'ass juice' shot. As tempting as it sounds...it's not very good.

One of my favorite pubs in Dublin without question. Its hard to sum up what I like of this place…read morebut it's just got a great atmosphere and vibe. You can usually find me in the awesome smoking area, It's a great to meet new people and enjoy your pint. On a busy / sunny night the beer garden spills out onto the pedestrian lane at the back. The live music is great with different types of music each night and I love the Jazz on a Sunday. The prices are great too with a house pint at only €4,50 and cocktail specials. Im really sad to hear the news that they will be closing down in june

SO,I was in here last night and I vowed to my friends on the way home that I would write a review…read moreabout it this morning when I woke up.Here it is dearest friends and other interested parties!! We were a group of about 10 and had booked tables and some platters of food previously in the week, all good! Anyway we walked up to the Dame lane entrance door at about 6 o clock shivering from the cold and we were welcomed into a warm cosy bar with four trad musicians playing away in the corner, it looked perfect to me! Our tables were upstairs so I unwillingly left the musicians behind and went to find our tables. The decor is really lovely in this place, big comfortable leather couches and funky chairs are dotted around the place.Deep reds and dark woods cover other surfaces giving a warm intimate feeling to the place despite the spacious room we were in. The platters of food we ordered arrived, well, some of the platters arrived and we all dug in. The food did not disappoint at all! Spring rolls, sausages and wedges were served in dinky little bowls surrounding a centre piece which was a cake stand adorned in mushroom vol au vants and brown bread and salmon, very tasty indeed! We were satisfied with the food we had so when the waitress asked if we wanted more we politely declined. The room started to fill up eventually so we decided to ask for the bill.Our jaws dropped when it came. They had charged up for more than we had actually gotten,after a bit of battle with some staff our bill was reduced a small bit but they insisted that because we had pre-ordered a certain amount of platters we had to pay for them."But we didnt even get the other platters" we exclaimed! "The waitress didnt bring them to us!" It Didn't matter, we still had to pay! Big fat boo to Le Cirk right there! Minus two stars straight away! Other than that I actually quite liked the place! The mix of people is incredible you have men with an abundance of facial hair and some with no hair on their heads at all, others wore those irish tweedy caps at a jaunty angle! The girls were varied, there were funky ladies with those straight short fringes and red lips or there were a couple with dread locks and then there were just normal looking girls,watever normal is, who ever you are and whatever your style you are going to fit in here. The music, well I actually asked my friends last night how they would describe the music in Le Cirk and we were at an absolute loss, thinking about it now with a more sober head I think that the mix and style of music is reflected in the type of people you find there, varied and eclectic and full of an "anything goes" kind of attitude.

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.

On Friday night in October this place was hopping! We wondered in (after touring Jamison…read moredistillery) looking for some drinks, food and music. Service and management were outstanding. Even though they were busy they found us a small table in bar area near the live music and fun. Drink service was fast and accurate. Food - we had appetizers and all were excellent.

Great for both beer and cocktails. Watching the bartenders craft drinks was an art form. Service was attentive as well. Lots of great seating, both indoor and outdoor. We opted to sit outdoors on a mild November night which ended up being a really nice experience. It was pretty busy even on a Sunday night. If you're in the area, definitely add No Name Bar to your list!

But Yelp calls it "No Name Bar." Late at night, this is the place to be. The music is loud, the place is hoppin', and everyone is movin' and groovin'. It's LOADS of fun, I can't express that enough - but it DOES get packed! If you are staying in Kelly's Hotel up above it, you MUST visit at least once to see what all the fuss is and why your hotel room is rattling until 2 or 3 in the morning. They have DJs playing every Friday and Saturday "from 10pm until late" as it's billed on their website. It's connected to the hotel, so if you are staying there, you can just head down the stairs to enter. From street level, use the entrance with the snail hanging above the black door with the address number of "3" on the door. It's so easy to walk past and not notice it. The entrance is JUST past the sidewalk patio for L'Gueuleton.

A group of us wandered down the dark alley one Sunday afternoon, a little anxious about what we might discover... Pleasantly surprised to find ourselves inside a Sleeping Beauty-like cavern of candlelit wonder, we stopped to marvel over the interior before giving the solitary bar man his rush of the century. The place was empty before we arrived, but luckily we'd brought a large enough group to make the entire place our own. The candelabras, mood lighting and high, domed ceilings make this place enchantingly atmospheric, but let's not forget the practicalities. Recipe for a good night with a large group: large tables - check, cheap beer (3.40 a pint!!!) - check, pool table - check... Ok this place is a winner. And get this - they even have a foozeball table! Rad! The toilets are definitely worth a gander... many, many mirrors, and easy to get lost in after a few pints of the dark stuff. OMG - 5 euro COCKTAILS Thurs - Sat night. Done. Sold. I'm there.

Me and 1 of my friends decided to order some cocktails so we went to the bar to see what we could get I ordered a mojito and a White Russian for my friend. I should have known it would be a disaster when the female bartender had to as the waitress how to make it needless to say it was not very good. After a while my friend decided to get one more round before we left. Well to say we were shocked is an understatement. When the waitress came over she went to order a drink to which the response was cant you see I'm busy what's wrong with you going to the bar, as she turned and walked away and went back to the bar to chat with another member of staff. The girl that had been looking after us earlier I think had finished which was a shame. Needless to say we didn't stay for another drink. This would put me off going back I could understand if it was busy but service like this is not acceptable
