Dubliner needs to be your Thursday night hangout spot anytime your in SoHo. With their Beat the Clock Special: 7pm - 8pm = $2 drinks 8pm - 9pm = $3 drinks 10 pm - 11 pm = $4 drinks 11pm - 12 pm = $5 drinks You can't find better deals. A pint of Guinness, in a glass?! You can't find a better deal anywhere. It is a very limited selection but it is an Irish bar so all you need is Guinness; they also do have seltzers and ciders if you prefer too. Love this place, can't say enough good things about them + the staff rocks! read more

Just tried some of the new St. Patrick's day menu at the Dub. As always, the Irish Nachos are a decadent treat. Share with friends if you want to fit in your car tomorrow. The Reuben sandwich was possibly the best I've ever had. It wasn't greasy at all, and the meat/saurkraut/cheese/sauce proportions were perfect. I hope that stays on the menu permanently! read more

We used to visit the Dubliner on Henderson in Citrus Park quite frequently, and have really missed their Irish menu since that location closed. We don't get to South Tampa/SoHo often, so when we ended up in the area late Friday afternoon, we knew where we wanted to stop for drinks & dinner. First, the inside is very small! But it has an old, historic vibe that I love. The bathroom walls were heavily covered in graffiti (which I thought reminiscent of NYC punk bars like CBGB), however, the actual restroom facilities were spotless. As it wasn't dark yet, we decided to sit outside on the patio, and enjoy the pleasant weather. With only a few patrons sitting at the patio bar, and no one at any tables, we weren't sure of the ordering protocol. After nearly 10 minutes of wondering if we needed to order at the bar, a cheery server came over to help us. I'd forgotten the Dubliner only serves beer & wine - no liquor. But our waitress, Jamie, was incredibly helpful in suggesting something on tap that I would enjoy. And I loved my Angry Orchard draft ale (or was it cider?)! Choosing what to eat was more difficult! Although the Dubliner has a small & limited menu, we just couldn't decide.... So we agreed to split a couple of dishes. I ordered the Shepard's Pie, and was NOT disappointed! Perfect balance of meat, vegetables, mashed potatoes & cheese. Hubs ordered the Irish Nachos, and we loved the use of waffle fries instead of tortilla chips. We also split a bowl of Bacon & Potato Soup with toast... I could've made a meal of that deliciousness! Sooo good. We'll definitely be back for more of the Dubliner! I have no idea if this is a true representation of an Irish bar, but I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. And we can't wait to try the fish & chips on a return visit... We saw a couple of plates delivered to a neighboring table before we left, and were stunned at the mountain of fried fish! I'd also like to sit at the big, old bar inside, and experience that ambiance. read more

Awesome place to hang out with a big group! We Came in on a Saturday night, and saw that there was good crowd but not too packed. Dubliner has a wide selection of beers to choose from, and some wines. I think the ambiance is a lot more fun, less rambunctious, and more mature in comparison to some other night spots in south Tampa down the road. There was a live band playing all our favorite songs that night, with floor space to dance if you want. I have come on the weekends before , and there has been a live band every time. We had a Darts board all to ourselves that even had some credits left on it, and we played Darts to our hearts' content for over an hour. There was also plenty of seating so whether you are there to just drink and talk or dance and play darts, this place is very fun to consider. read more

The Dub gets four stars just for the fact that its a "get away" in SOHO... for the most part. be sure to make it to the bottom of the review, or read it backwards. Whatever. Beer selection is decent. I am pretty sure they have wine, but if you are a wino, you are definitely in the wrong place. The Dub is pretty empty on weekday nights and flooded on Friday's and Saturdays. They have small TVs, so not that great for a sports go-to. Now the good stuff - In a neighborhood full of money, the Dubliner provides a nice get away. Extremely friendly, laid back bartenders make it all worth it. The red-haired bartender would make it worth your while by himself with amazingly quirky dirty humor. They make you feel hell of welcome in a neighborhood where if flooded with the most commonly normal people would make them fell out-casted. Indoor seating, huge patio, decor is to the tee, not too perfect - what one expects of a pub. Live music on weekends is always found. Pizza is great - steak and Gorgonzola cheese all the way. Ask for the BOSS BURGER - a little off-the-menu secret goat cheese stuffed burger served with sweet potato fries with cinnamon and honey. Their regular burger could easily compete as the best in Tampa. Definitely stick to these things on the menu. Definitely go by. You wont regret it. read more

The Dubliner Irish Pub - Boss Burger, sweet potato fries with honey. - Pubs Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Dubliner is a nice place to go to if you want to escape the insanity that is Soho on the weekends. It can get pretty busy, but every time I've gone (even on the weekends) it's been relatively low-key -- the reason why I go there. Dubliner is sort of hidden away in what looks like a house, but is actually a pub. It looks pretty neat on the inside and yes, they often have live music there as well. Service is usually pretty good. This place is definitely a good one for the atmosphere. Haven't tried any of the food there, but I intend to do so in the future. read more

Love Dubliner. Have been here at various times, from an early Saturday afternoon when my group was the only one being serenaded by the guitar player, to a jam-packed St Patty's day celebration when the rest of the STDs (South Tampa d-bags) make their way into this lovely, generally untapped gem. I prefer it on weeknight evenings, when it's crowded and there is live music but it's not super sloppy. The open-air balcony and large tree coverage paired with good lighting and some Angry Orchard can make it easy to forget that you are right around the corner from MacDinton's! #perk. I wish I had tried the food, because I've seen it go by often enough to know that some of it looks pretty tasty. Actually, my dog has managed to guilt people into giving her french fries here plenty of times, and she's a fan. So I can assume that they are as yummy as they look. Also, saw a pizza go by on Friday night that looked *really* good. All in all, when it doubt, hit the Dub. It rarely disappoints. read more

Came here on Easter. They ended up overtipping themselves an additional 10 dollars on top of the tips I already gave the girl working. Got mad at me for leaving a 2 dollar tip on an overpriced high noon. I am sorry I didn't realize your job of opening a can was so hard! Will only be coming here with cash for now on. Only pay in cash here read more

I love going to the Dubliner on weeknights. It's nice and peaceful. I love the nacho pizza. It has waffle fries!! On weeknights it is a nice quiet place to watch sports inside or outside. If you go on a weekend be prepared for a packed bar and not a place to stop in and eat. There is no bike racks, but I lock up to the tree, or the Publix bike rack a block away. There is always live music on the weekend and it is more of a club atmosphere. Warning: The bathrooms are very typical bar bathroom status, not great. There are only two women's bathrooms too so on a crowded night beware you will be waiting. read more

Every time I'm here and I get CHRIS is awesome I have been here a couple of times in the last couple of months and honestly I keep coming back mostly because of the service I get from CHRIS! Is amazing! read more

Awesome service, wide selection of beers and delicious food! All of the bartenders are fantastic, Chris is the best. Dubliner only has beer and wine but who needs more? They offer an abundance of microbrews, and they serve food late! Been coming here for years and just recently tried their tacos. Chicken tacos are scrumptious and shrimp tacos are divine. Chimichanga is awesome (when it's offered) and I'm willing to bet the Irish fare is good too. They have TVs for watching whatever sport is on and live bands on the weekends. Can't beat this neighborhood favorite! read more

Been coming to this place for years. Absolutely delicious pizzas! The Irish Nacho Pizza is to die for!

Great little Irish pub, downfall is they only do beer and wine. They have beer on tap and in the bottle. What's great if you get hungry you don't have to leave because they have food. When I left the join my Irish eyes -- and liver -- were smiling. Check it out if you're in Tampa read more

Out of all the bars in Soho, The Dubliner might be my favorite! It's an old house converted to a bar so it has such a homey feel to it. My favorite part has to be the outside area, especially when they have live music! All the string lights make for such a fun time. Drink selection isn't bad, but nothing crazy. I just had a blueberry wheat from Brew Bus which wasn't bad. It is pretty tight inside so if you're not a fan of tight places then it's probably not for you. No parking here either so plan on ubering or paying in a lot. Overall a fun time!! read more

I am not a fan of Soho, especially during its peak hours. The whole area is just jam packed with college kids. I did not even like it when I was a college kid. The Dubliner, however, I do like. It is just off the main road and not right in the center of all the action. While it can get pretty busy in there it is never jam packed where you have to squeeze in between people to get around or stand in a mind numbing long line for the bathroom. The place just feels like a bar, its a decent size and the bartenders are nice. I like their patio area which is where you enter through. read more

The Dubliner Irish Pub - The bartender made a 3 leaf clover. Can you see it? - Pubs Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Pros: Recently voted Creative Loafing Readers' Favorite Bar for the 4th year in a row, it is no mystery why! The Dubliner Irish Pub features some great Live Bands playing every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights 9PM til close, ensuring a fun lively atmosphere and a great crowd. With 44 craft brews on tap, you can get even some of the most obscure brews like the Banana Bread Brew. Despite Dubliner's Irish heritage, they are more well known for their pizzas than Irish fare. They have some off the wall pizzas like the Nacho Pizza with Waffle fries. Wednesday's, Dubliner has a Liter night with $6 32oz drafts 8PM-close. Thursday's, the Dubliner features Live Reggae Music, $2 Red Stripes, $5 Chicken Margarita Flatbread pizzas, and $8 Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders. Friday's, they have $12 Miller Light and Bud Light Buckets. For Saturday's and Sunday's during all football games, Dubliner has 50 cent Wings, $3 Miller Light, Coors Light, and Yeungling drafts, $4 Blue Moons, and $12 Miller Light buckets. Located in South Tampa off Azeele St near the Howard Soho strip between Greenwise Publix and Cheap, just north of Taco Bus and Macdintons. Weekdays are pretty quiet here which some people prefer. Weekends can get pretty packed. Service can be slow sometimes when it gets busy on the weekends but that's understandable. Dubliner has 1 inside bar and 1 outside bar and both can get pretty busy on most weekend nights. Some say that the Dubliner offers a break from the regular Soho crowd in lieu of the craft Brewskie aficionado crowd. It definitely weeds out the liquor-only fans, that's for sure lol. Cons: No Liquor, only beer and wine. They offer sake and cider "shots" but sake is just wine. The inside bar is often cramped on weekend nights and the 2 stall bathrooms are way too small for the size of this place, so expect a line. There is no valet or onsite parking available. You can valet in the Macdintons lot or park 2 blocks away west of Armenia and Horatio. read more

On this night, my friends and I heard music and, of course, we naturally gravitated to the source. The source was Dubliner Once in the Dubliner, we noticed it exuded a classic, authentic Irish pub feel. It was by far the most laid-back, intimate spot in the SoHo scene. The bar is somewhat small in the inside, but the outside is spacious enough to hold a band and its adoring fans. Back to the music, the music was sweet symphony to my ears created by the artistry of Sound Spectrum. They are a soulful ensemble with a jazz and funk style. They did a rendition of Bill Wither's "Aint no Sunshine" and it rocked to the point I felt it in my very soul. Live music is always a quick way to a pub goer's heart. Other then the music, the beer selection is good for the pub scene. Of course, it will not come close to World of Beer, nonetheless, it is a worthy selection. The beer selection coupled with the laid-back ambiance makes Dubliner hard to beat in the SoHo district. read more

The Dubliner Irish Pub - Very happy with this bar - Pubs Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I like the Dunliner. It has nothing to do with it being Irish, it has to do with the simplicity & exquisite ousted areas. Inside you have a simple diner type atmospher. Good for taking while eating and catching up with your friends. I love the nice Simplicity of the interior. The outside patio area rivals 4&5 star establishments, that are touting their outside ambiance. This establishment does not brag & it should. The staff is friendly, attentive and helpgul. I recently left a nice jacket there and just knew I would never see it again, even though I called as soon as I got home and they said they had it and contrary to my misgivings, it was waiting to be picked up the next evening & they even had to identify themselves to insure that the jacket went to the right person. Now that is a 5+ in caring about your customers. It was a girls in out and I don't think a wine glass got empty for more than 2 minutes A variety of entrées and appet8 were ordered and I heard no complaints and saw clean plates. The fish & chips was a favorite as was the hamburger. The burger was cooked spot on & had all the right accompaniments. The flavor of the beef was very good and the burger was nice and juicy. All in all, we had a great time and would all recommend the Dubliner for any occasion, where you want to relax and just be yourself. It was almost like a girls night in, with no cooking or dishes. This is a great grm, that I am delighted to ha e found. I shall return. What's a girl to do? When a place feels like home...relax & get comfortable. read more

The Dubliner Irish Pub - Inside. - Pubs Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Not a big fan...this is located down the street from my apartment so my boyfriend and I decided to check it out one night. I felt like I was in a frat house the morning after they had a big party, there was spilt beer everywhere, no reasonable seating, and everyone looked like they were barely legal....obviously the college kids love it, it's always packed...and I'm not some old fart hating for now reason, I'm 24...I just didn't enjoy it at all. We left after one drink and moved next door. If you're a frat boy it's definitely the place for you, if not...I'd look elsewhere for your good time... Side note: the 3 stars is because the service was good, the establishment was nice enough for a pub type bar, I just didn't like the atmosphere. read more

Fun pub nice outdoor area nice bouncers Interesting beer selection. Unpretentious the females were slightly lacking here, but great live music. I was hurting really bad here though. After all that alcohol and 2 other pit stops this was a painful stop. Fun times thanks again tampa. This was our last bar in SOHO and off we went to the strip clubs read more

This place is a good pit stop for your soho pub crawl. They have a good beer selection. But no liquor so that is a downer.. Bartenders are friendly and down to earth, music good. Crowd seems to be mostly younger.. They have darts and above patio area but other than that it's just your typical bar.. read more

Solid feel Good events / singers Pizza rocks. they really understand hosting a low key good time. On my 4 or so visits I met the owner and 2 other bartenders. It's well cast and (at least when not slammed on college time) has perfect level of attentiveness and reads customer queues well. read more

I love the Dubliner. The barstaff is always so fun and entertaining. John is the best and he can always recommend a great menu item. Surprisingly enough, the food is really good! The pizza is hot, fresh, and cheesy. read more

This place has a great selection of beers, an awesome vibe and great service. They have food although I honestly wouldn't go there for dinner, maybe just a snack. It had a great outdoor seating area. The best part about this place is that is an old house... not a super common thing in Tampa. I normally stick to the Dubliner for happy hour or Sunday afternoons... Friday and Saturday nights tend to be a little college-y. read more

I have really been wanting to check this place out, so naturally it was a let down. However, the staff is quite friendly. Sadly, it's just another bar. This one is one of those ones that smells of beer in the way that it's like they painted the walls with beer. The outdoor patio is cool, though. read more

It was a cold night after a Gators vs Noles game. Afterwards, we gathered at the Dubliner for some post game drinking. My friends all ordered a Seadog blueberry beer, which they highly recommend. I am not a big beer drinker. I prefer wine. The patio bartender, John with a wicked beard, was very accommodating to my request and added blueberries into my Pinot Grigio. If you're ever in south Tampa, come to the Dubliner for the blueberry Pinot Grigio! read more

Five Stars, but no cocktails. Wednesday is $5 liter night. Friday and Saturday are good too. Unpretentious, but in the trendy nightlife area. read more

I hate going in the wrong direction, but twice in a row now I've had skunky beer here. If it wasn't for the great service and brews I've received before, I'd drop it even lower. But my last two visits here haven't been good at all. I've been at the outside bar on both trips, and gotten a funny tasting Guiness and some other domestic. Not cool! I don't know if the lines need to be cleaned or if I just caught them on an unusually bad day, but I'm not the pickiest person about this kind of stuff. So if I notice it, it's probably pretty bad. Plus it seems to take forever to get served, and those people behind the bar don't seem to be in any rush to help. I like a relaxed atmosphere, but I don't like standing at the bar for 5-10 minutes waiting for a beverage. Hustle up just a wee bit if you don't mind! The Dubliner is an institution in Tampa, and I certainly don't want to see it go away. I've also heard from some friends that have worked there in the past that it's certainly rather lax in the employee directional department. But I'd also like to see them clean up the rough edges that seem to be getting rougher. It's been a great and authentic Irish pub in the past, and I hope that certainly continues. read more

I love coming to Dub, all the staff and bartenders are amazing and it's such a good environment! Last night I met the blonde lady who's either the owner or manager and lets just say I wouldn't be surprised if her name was Karen. I stepped out quickly to greet some friends as they walked in, where one friend gave me a Red Bull. Lady tried to kick me out for not paying cover although I was banded, and said I was drinking a white claw although I was just grabbing a Red Bull since they don't sell any. Her entire staff voucher for me saying I've already paid and it was just an energy drink and she wasn't having it. She then made me pay reentry for absolutely no reason. read more

I like the Dubliner. There are a lot of more upscale places around the SoHo area and I respect Dubliner a lot more. Good crowd for sure and reasonably priced beer. They have a big beer for like $6 I believe. In addition, I definitely agree that Wednesday is the best day to go by far. Plus, they have great food, good atmosphere and live music. You definitely cannot lose going to this bar. If you are looking for a bar that is still social, has great prices, and good mix of people, Dubliner might be your best bet. read more

Outstanding. I've thought about moving to Florida so I could hang out here more...no really, I have. read more

As far as pubs go in Tampa, especially in South Tampa, it has a little more of an authentic feel. It's not as "trendy" as most of the bars in SoHo, and that's why I like it. Most nights there is live music, and during the day/early evening it's pet friendly. They've added more beers on tap, and they take suggestions from their customers as to what they should add or get rid of next. The food is pretty good - especially the pizzas. My only complaint would be to have better specials. The most appealing special is $6 liter night on Wednesday. read more

Typical Irish pub but with a Floridian twist. Band was playing when we went. Mid 20's type crowd. Less rift raft than Macdintons and more elbow room (less packed). Friendly bar staff. read more

The shepherd's pie and garlic bread kinda tasted like microwaved TV dinners, and the beer list was kinda scant for a beer/wine-only Irish bar. But the bartender/server was lovely and helpful, and the patio was really pretty with a very chill, friendly vibe, and the beer was good. So probably wouldn't go back for food but absolutely would go back for a beer or two. read more

The food and the music here is good. The Dubliner is a great place to just come and hang out with friends and hear good live music. When you walk in, you will notice that the clientele tends to skew a little younger, but the bar itself is still fun. They have a great beer selection, so you'll be sure to find a brew that you like. I like that in the midst of all the traditional South Tampa bars you have this gem that strays away from the norm, but always deliver good times. B. Major Grade: A+ read more
