I don't even remember what number Peter's was on our list of pubs to crawl. I love how every pub does a pint of Guinness slightly differently. Peter's was my favorite pint by far. Sweet, thick, and refreshing. Chocolate milk. The pub is very chill. An "old man pub" for sure, but still a very nice place to spend time. It's very warm and intimate; perfect for a good conversation. I can see myself spending hours here housing endless pints. The service was very nice. The patrons are lovely as well. The seats are very comfy. I could sleep here. If you're doing a pub crawl, add Peter's to the list. With a pint like THAT? worth every penny. It's right across Bambino, so you can get a slice to go along with your chocolate milk. I will be back. read more

Just came back from 20 days in Ireland and we loved this pub returned a few times. Great crowd, and with a slightly romantic vibe. Bartenders are friendly as they are really at all pubs in Ireland, but I recall a couple Great conversations particularly here at peters. read more

A pretty good pub. Nice ambiance; friendly proprietor. Not as crowded as some of the other pubs, so that's a plus. Great selection of beer, wine, and spirits. My biggest complaint is that it's considerably more expensive: a pint at Peter's is €7.50 while up the block I only paid €6.50. read more

Good pub. Fine service and fine cider. Didn't eat. Chill little pub. Nice interior, very cozy. I would come back if I'm in the area.

Friend of mine from Louisiana told me to stop by here if I was ever in Dublin. WOW, probably my favorite place in Ireland !!! Bartenders were hilariously great to be around. It smelled like an old bar , and I want that smell when I walk into a place that's been around a long time. I can't wait to get back and have about a dozen Guinness !!! read more

Peter's Pub - Best bar in Ireland - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

Stopped in for a quick sandwich and drink before heading off to a museum and loved it. The Irish beef sandwich is served with crisps and horseradish mustard and was as delicious as it was quick. Very friendly service with good recommendations. I was starving and snatched up one of the quarters then snapped this pic. Highly recommend! read more

A great example of the friendly, warm, casual pubs all around Dublin. Stopped in twice for lunch and a couple pints. Daily soup specials (mushroom one day, cream of veg the next) and a toasted sandwich make up the bulk of their uncomplicated menu. Tons of Irish beers and ciders to chose from (Irish ciders tend to be less sweet...try Falling Apple). Depending on how busy it is, you may get table service or need to order at the bar. read more

Been here a few times in the past and I am finally giving my review of Peter"s.....Came visiting here the 3rd. week of JuIy this year and stopped in for lunch......Had some lovely mushroom soup with brown bread and a couple of Guinness's .... the servive was great, pub was cozy and the food was delish !!.... This is a very warming and clean place off the beaten path off of Graffton Street..... read more

Great traditional Irish pub! Staff and selection of Irish whiskey were top notch! Cozy seating areas around the pub and a L shaped bar, it gets packed but a great atmosphere. If you are not sure about what Irish whiskey to order, no worries, ask the staff and they are more than happy to explain each one to you. My favorite pub in Dublin!! read more

Very friendly staff. Stopped on our way to Dublin Castle and on the way back. Had the chowder and soda bread. The chowder was good. Honestly I have had better. The broth seemed a little on the runny side and the croutons on top were not needed. read more

Excellent little place to rehydrate after shopping! Unlike other reviewers, I didn't attempt the after-work rush... I stopped at Peter's mid-afternoon on a weekday, and it was lovely and quiet. Despite its location in the midst of city centre, it really has the feel of a traditional Irish pub. The barman was as friendly as he was knowledgeable, giving us plenty of information about the local microbrews on tap. I'm not ashamed to say it -I already see myself coming back for another Galway Hooker! I didn't have any food, but they do have a menu with some sandwiches and usual suspects if you're feeling peckish. read more

Peter's Pub - A selection of Irish microbrews on draught - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

Really cute bar! Great location just on the corner of Stephens's Green/South William Street - you always see people standing outside having a pint. 9 times out of 10 it'll be a guy with a pint of Guinness, which is pretty much what you can expect inside too. Great atmosphere, not a huge amount of room to swing a cat though, so if you're of the cat swinging variety you'll probably want to look elsewhere, but still a really good pub. Just one question though...who the hell is Peter? read more

Peter's Pub - Pubs Near Me - Dublin, D

Not your typical pub in that it's refreshingly well-lit and inviting, and isn't too loud. The guys behind the counter are gentlemen and they have a nice range of draught and bottled beers, from Heineken and Peroni to domestics from craft brewers like Carrig and Dungarvan. I'd say it's a great place to either start or end the evening. I sat at the bar but the bench seating below the windows (good for groups of 4-6) also looked pretty comfy. read more

Excellent small pub. Great personal service. Pour a great pint. Extensive Irish whiskey selection.

If you manage to get a seat in here you have already won. Over the three years since I returned to Dublin I have stuck my head in the door only to retreat every time due to it being packed. That was until last night. Like a military operation my partner had to leave work ahead of me to secure a seat. Then the text I had waited for for three years: "I've got a seat. Go! Go! Go!" Great Guinness. Old fashioned bartenders. Mixed crowd. Spotlessly clean loos and nice and bright bar. Worth the three year wait. read more

This place has the charm of your friendly local pub coupled with a great city centre location. The staff and service are super and i'm told that the Guinness is good too but i wouldn't know a lot about that. If you get a seat it is very comfortable, but it fills up early so that can be hard sometimes, you can also drink outside and there are heaters for the Irish nights. If you're looking for music this isn't the spot for you, but if you're looking for a great atmosphere with friendly staff and good spot to have a chat and a laugh with some friends, this is definetly a spot to consider. read more

One of the truly great pubs in the city. They put particular care and attention into everything they do, right down to the fact that every drink (read; pint) is served in the correct, branded glass, if I order a Galway Hooker, it is served in a glass bearing that name... a very nice touch. Outwardly it is just a normal if small pub that gets very cramped on a busy night but it always has a great atmosphere and the staff are good - like damn good, everyone gets served, no time wasting, no messing about. Nice heated outdoor tables and the toilets are always sparkling. read more

I held off Yelping Peter's Pub because I knew I'd just blather on like a fan girl. I'll try to keep it short. Meeting friends for a post-work sip always feels like the perfect way to compartmentalise the day and get on with living after hours. Our cozy booth under that front window was might accommodating for the growing group of twenty somethings, while the relaxed atmosphere lent by the aul fellas at the corner put us all in a new frame of mind. Our pints were brought over by the gentleman barman who was a day if he was 60 (possibly Peter himself?), a service we were bowled over by after so many sullen-faced waitresses in other watering holes in town. Things stayed fun way after happy hour, and we had to break things up for sanity's sake: it was a Tuesday night! I love bringing uninitiated pub goers to Peter's for that first pint -it's a wonderful experience. read more

Classy, quaint and uncluttered Irish pub amidst the downtown business hustle and popular shopping destinations. Ideal for casual meetings and relaxing afternoon pit-stops. And I find it perfectly comfortable when by myself. Specializing in Irish coffees and pints. Bonus; a proper bar man! read more

I like this place. It loses a star because it has a Dublin-plus price however the staff are great, the atmosphere is excellent, they dog a good Guinness, they have a range of smaller brew ales. Additionally it is close to Grafton St as an escape, a bit further away from the hustle and bustle around Grogan's and International Bar. It does get alot of tourists but that is no bad thing necessarily. They don't lose a star for this but they have become infected by the 'fishbowl glasses for their gin and tonics with pepper-fukken-corns and other plant stuff'. I used to like gin and tonics, straight glass, ice and a slice but if I forget to ask for it that way then I wind up with this new stupid trend thing. Ahem. Rant over. read more

Sort of feels like your Aunty Doreen's gaff... You know that Aunty who combs the carpets before you come over ? She makes great french apple flan and wouldn't hear of a sausage roll entering her kitchen... but she makes you feel at home... and she has booze. read more

An institution - in the best sense of the word. The platform this pub is built on is the barmen. We're talking real Barmen. Barmen from a time that the Tiger forgot. People who remember you, even if you haven't been in for a year. People for who the smallest nod from your seat triggers a round re-order, delivered to the table. People who are both professional, and friendly. The atmosphere is buzzy - tends to get jammed in that "all in it together" way. Not a posey place, much more groups and couples in animated conversation over wine and pints. Good beer selection, including Hooker and the fantastic Peroni on Draft. Cracking pub. Now with a Pablo Piccante's right next door. Thats the makings of a great night out right there! :-) read more

This tiny wee place nestled at the top of Grafton Street is a real little gem. An old man pub with the right atmosphere, it's retained its community vibe even with its metropolitan location. Yes it's itty bitty, but if you can grab yourself a seat (inside or, weather permitting, outside) then it's totally worth it. Curl up for an hour (or four) and have yourself a pint and a good chinwag. They even, if they're in the mood, will do the whole table service thing, which is a rarity in Dublin's city centre. Perfect to sit out on those balmy summer evenings for which Ireland is reknowned, or, inside on the less common rainy days. read more

Stoped in for a beverage and lunch while roaming the city. Sat at the bar, very attentive and friendly staff! One of the best I've seen in Dublin City. Food was excellent. They make some great home made soups in this place! Will def check out again when in town. Thx for the great service! read more

Went there in this typical Irish pub to get a typical Irish lunch (oh well) Place was as full as it's expected of a pub at midday (that is, not at all). The bar menu is not to shabby and very much on par with similar establishments. The ambience is quite nice, it's not a dark appearance on the inside like most pubs (or even places) but rather a very illuminated place The food was quite nice, having a "soup and sandwich" and the service was mildly enthusiastic (yes, enthusiastically, but not too much). Although the barman seems to have to tender several people at once, service was ok read more

I pass this place at least three times a week and in the six years have never walked in. Until last night. Great atmosphere, comfy seating and the barman pulls a good pint. I will definitely be back. read more

We were after dinner mid week and going for a last drink near Drury St. My friend said what about Peters pub. I had never been and my mission is to keep visiting new places so I replied why not. I have walked past this place a million times and I always assumed it was tiny. It's small but bigger than I expected. It has the feel of a local which I love. It was quiet as it was late on a Wednesday evening. I had a pint of Galway Hooker, which I really like and my friend had a G and T. I noticed there is no piped music, just the sound of people chatting. The Barman seemed to know a good few customers so I would say they get a lot of regulars. It's now on my list of pubs for a pint. read more

We spent the last three days of our honeymoon in Dublin, and really became attached to this quaint pub. The men behind the bar are true gentlemen and were very knowledgeable about the many, many Irish whiskies and beers we tried. They gave us great local suggestions and the back stories to go with each. We found the staff at some places standoffish once hearing our American accents, but these fellows were so kind and friendly. We sat at the bar and had great laughs with them; enjoyed the company and drinks so much that we came in every night we were in Dublin. read more

Celebrated the 12 pubs of Christmas over the weekend and started the night off here. I've been here before and know the pints are pricey for town, but they are good pints at that. I would rather drink a good pint for a bit more than spend less and have something gross. The pub is very festive for Christmas at the moment, so the atmosphere is a 5 out of 5 stars. The pub also has a good flow of people usually and with a bit of patience, you can still almost always have seats and quick service. I like meeting up with friends here for a pub crawl night, but could easily hangout for a bit and enjoy some nosh. read more

I don't know why this bar fascinated my friends and I for so long before we actually went there. I remember many's the time statements like "Let's go to Peter's Pub" or "Hey, what about Peter's Pub?" being bandied about, and yet we never did go there. The place took on a certain sense of intrigue in my mind and every time I walked by I used to think "One day, maybe soon, I'll go to Peter's Pub." Yay, it was spake and lo it hath come to pass: I ended up there a few weeks ago with a group of people and really, it's just a pub. Saying, it's just a pub though is dismissive. It's a great little pub in a great location, very cosy and traditional with a really warm atmosphere. You could do far worse than Peter's Pub for a few jars of an evening. So, four stars, I mean, it's not really Peter's fault that I was expecting something amazingly mysterious. read more

This place gets 5 stars just for the bartender alone. My first night back in Ireland we stopped in here for some drinks... First night I met my Jack. Still 3 years later I love this place. It will always have a piece of my heart because of one truly special night. The start of it all! read more

Firstly, I am not the Peter it's named after but I am a fan.Staff are friendly, the Guinness is good and the location is excellent. It can get crowded post theatre or later in the evening but is lovely for a pint with that local feel in the city. read more

Voted best pub in the city a few years back in the In Dublin Magazine, Peters pub is a breath of fresh air for anyone wanting a quick couple while the wife is shopping in Stephen's Green shopping centre across the way. It has just been extended, without losing it's lovely character. It's no-frills but definitely not a dive. The staff are fantastic and will go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. I ave to say, this pub holds a special place in my heart from its warm snug-like quality to it's backward clock. I was a bit gutted when they discontinued Beamish Red but I'll survive. read more

Such a lovely little pub to go if you are looking to unwind after a long day shopping, or after work drinks. The staff are so prompt and attentive despite it being extremely busy when we went. We sat outside because there were no seats left but the bar man made sure we were looked after and turned the heaters on for us. Couldn't fault this bar! read more

Went there on Friday (3/5/2013) night to meet two friends over from the USA and two people I had never met before. I dont drink because of medication I am on, and my wife just doesnt drink much. Staff continually hasseled us, interrupting us and cleaning our tables in a really rude invasive way. "Would you mind moving?" "Okay, whose drinks are these?" "Would you mind standing there?" "Okay whose finished?" The person I was meeting was a distinguished poet from the states, and his partner. It was not cool, and a case of judging the book by its cover. Perhaps they wanted people who were buying pints. read more

Nice place but I can't say too much because I've just had a drink outside and only for 1 hour. But nice cider in my half pint ;)

Peter's keeps everything super basic, but there's something about it that I just love. There's no fluff around the edges, but it's cosy and really looks like a true Irish pub. The bar staff I've spoken to are pure gents and very knowledgable. You might have a hard time getting a seat at the weekends, but the crowd is usually very friendly and you might be able to squeeze on to the edge of someone else's table. They have a decent selection of beers and a great selection of spirits. It might not be something crazy worth telling your friends about, but it's always a nice place to go for a pint. read more

Not bad for a quiet pint. Friendly and engaging bar staff. Clean pint of Guinness aswell.

This is a very cute little pub that kind of epitomes the meaning of the word cosy. It reminds me a bit of someone's sitting room and I mean that in a good way. I sat inside the window here one sunny evening with some friends and it was lovely - great beer, service and atmosphere. I've also been here on a Saturday night and while it can be busy to the point of being jointed it has such a great vibe that you can get over the fact that you're getting squashed. Peter's attracts a pretty cool crowd too and the average age seems to be folk in their 30s. read more
