Came on a Friday night at peak dinner time after trying and failing to get tables at a few other pubs in the area. Came into the Old Storehouse and were seated immediately next to a fire. The restaurant area was on a level up from the bar area which was perfect since we still could see and hear the live band, but we were able to have a conversation since it wasn't too loud. We tried the burger, the mushroom pasta, and the bangers and mash. Was a bit disappointed that the mushroom pasta was the only vegetarian option on the menu, but the dish itself did not disappoint (especially since I was in the mood for pasta anyway). While heading out, we decided to stick around in the bar area for a bit because it was so lively and fun. There was a girl literally doing Irish dancing on the bar as the band played and there were a lot of fun covers. Overall great vibes, pretty good food, and good service. read more

Another solid Irish pub in heart of Temple Bar area. Live Irish music, the place was buzzing. I saw happy people all around me, and the smell of delicious hot wings was making me drool. I had the delicious Guinness beer beef stew and mashed potatoes. The depth of flavor was wonderful, I literally drained my bowl down to the bottom. Just another Irish meal that goes against the myth that food is not good in Ireland. read more

Stopped in at this place a few times as part of a couple different city tours / bar crawls, and enjoyed it more each time I came back. I love that they have free WiFi. Great selection of beer and liquor, and they serve food, too. Drinks aren't the cheapest, but that's par for the course in the area. The best part about Old Storehouse is the live music! I was able to stop in and listen on two different nights: one was a solo artist playing more local music, and the other was a duo that played fantastic mashups of pop hits from the past couple decades. While you're in Temple Bar, I'd recommend stopping through for a pint. read more

We made reservations for a large group of 15 or so on a Sunday evening via email, and we were treated to a front-and-center long table just in front of the stage. The performers were great, and the grub was stellar. The Beef Casserole was excellent. read more

This place is fantastic! My friend and I were staying in Dublin for a week and our apartment was in Temple Bar. We found ourselves here 3/4 times that week for a meal and/or for drinks! This place is perfect for both. If you need a meal, they've got plenty of great food. And if you just want to grab some drinks with friends while you're going out, this is also a great bar spot. The interior is really big and it's so cute. There's a top floor and a bottom floor and they're both great. The top floor has bar stools that you're able to sit at and the bottom floor is mainly sit down dinner tables, but there's also a bar down there. There was live music every single time we were there which was one of the things I loved about it. The music was so great and it was just such a chill place to hang out and grab a bite to eat and a beer. Definitely stop in here at some point during your visit to Dublin. It's well worth the trip. Also, the fish and chips are delicious!! read more

The food here was great! We sat upstairs but could still hear the music and see the performance on the TV. Food: everything was delicious! Cottage pie (so good), sirloin and fish and chips. Space: I think most come for the bar and music but I wouldn't discount that for great food. read more

This is a large pub that has seating for all configurations of guests - large groups, couples, solo travelers... you name it, they got it. I sat alone at the bar, and ordered myself a stoic pint of Guiness and a Guinness beef stew to go along with it. The beef stew was delicious - the brown slop doesn't photograph very well, but you can expect plush mushrooms, soft potato cubes, and fork-tender beef chunks in there. It also comes with about a large potato's worth of buttered mashed potato (probably 2 cups), so you're definitely going to be satiated after that meal. There was live music and everyone got into the spirit of it. read more

The Old Storehouse - Guinness beef stew - came out super quickly, yummy with tender beef mushrooms and potatoes - Irish Pub Near Me - Dublin, D

We visited The Old Storehouse based upon the yelp recommendations and were not disappointed! As mentioned, there was a live music and great food! The waitress was really attentive and despite how packed the place was, all of our dishes came out super fast. Everything tasted extremely fresh and was really tasty. The portions were rather huge and couldn't finish it all. They don't take reservations unless you come with a group. Place gets packed really fast on a weekday. read more

This place was INCREDIBLE! Came here for my first night in Dublin, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to be introduced to the vibe of this city. Got seated upstairs for dinner and ordered the cottage pie, seafood chowder, and haddock and chips. Everything was excellent, especially the haddock (perfectly fried) and pie (came with a side of deliciously sweet carrots too). As we were on our way out, a woman standing right next to us just started to dance to the live musicians, which was such a fun thing to experience! read more

Very decent Irish meal with fair prices. Waitstaff was kind. Had fish and chips, burger, salad. Went originally because online menu showed shepherds pie, but due to covid there's a deducted menu and it wasn't available. Has a covered outdoor seating area. Definitely worth trying. read more

Delicious! One of our favorite restaurants we went to in Dublin. Wish I had pics. I recommend the fish and chips and the wings. Wow!! Just bring your appetite. read more

The Old Storehouse has a lovely atmosphere, and a very lively feel. Came here looking for some live music and a beer, and both were delivered with gusto! Hibernia (the live music that night) rocked the room and the drinks were spot on. Looking forward to coming back here soon. read more

This place had the best fish and chips I've tasted on my trip to Dublin. They were delicious. The bar was filled mostly with locals but a few tourists as well. Service was fast and the waitresses were talkative and friendly. We really enjoyed the look and feel of this place. There was a rugby match on TV and everyone was excited to cheer on the Irish team which was fun! read more

Really busy pub in central Dublin Temple Bar area. We were surprised to be seated so quickly. We opted for the Irish stew and mash for dinner, which came to 13.35 Euros. The food came rally quickly and it was delicious. My friends had dessert too which I wish I had gone for in the end-especially the apple pie! The live band were good, but we were right next to them so a little loud for us. Would go back again though if I was in the area:) read more

The Old Storehouse - Guinness Stew and cottage people. Delicious and well priced. - Irish Pub Near Me - Dublin, D

What I Ordered: Cottage Pie Flavor: One of the best I've had. Very flavroful and filling. It came with a salad that had some kind of super light dressing that I could barely taste. Service: Friendly and attentive. Atmosphere: Great Irish pub atmosphere with Live Music. Price: Pricey for what you get, but this is most likely due to it's location. Location: In the heart of the Temple Bar district. Great location. read more

Sure, the former Eamon Dorans has evolved into a bit of a tourist trap over the years, but The Old Storehouse has great music, tasty authentic food, and fast and friendly service even when things get packed (which is often). Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere? First and foremost, The Old Storehouse is absolutely massive considering it's Temple Bar location, but they fill this floorspace regularly. That in mind, servers are remarkably fast and friendly, and you'll have your food and a drink in hand in under 20 minutes. The walls have been dolled up with traditional irish goods, and the music is what really makes The Old Storehouse stand above and beyond many of the other spots in Temple Bar. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Seafood Chowder for €12,95 - let's have a look: http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=UCr3-72Z9tVAZgTeyi6h7w&userid=OKX-V5j_qfuOebeHeWGrHg That's a significant portion for sub 15 EUR, and with fresh brown bread on the side, this was a fair price. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? If the picture didn't do it for you, my description certainly won't, but know that this was some excellent chowder. Nothing from a can here folks. Fresh clams, tasty salmon, and potent seasoning that came together in brilliant fashion. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? It's a close call, and only because there are so many good options in Temple Bar am I going to have to withhold. Great spot though. No Star Granted. read more

Loved our time in Ireland and dinner there! Can't wait to go back again! Highly recommend

We were walking back to our hotel when we ran across a sign outside of The Old Storehouse that said "live music". I'm a huge fan of live music so we stopped in to check things out. The music sounded really good and there was a table available so we decided to stick around for some music with a round of drinks. The singers/band was local and they had their CD of songs displayed next to them on the stage for purchase. What a great way to provide live entertainment for customers while also promoting local talent. Can't wait to come back to this place on my next visit to Ireland. read more

Unbelievably great restaurant. Service and food were both top-notch. I will definitely revisit it during my next trip to Dublin. I highly recommend it. It is in the Temple Bar area, and better to go earlier in the evening. read more

This is pure FUN! The tour is fun and informative and ends with a great view of Dublin for 5 stories up. Since there are no tall buildings in Dunkin, this is plenty high enough. Of course the parting pint of Guinness is the icing on the cake. This is a must-do for any tourist read more

I'd recommend trying the Guinness stew here. I sampled this dish at many places while in Ireland and the old storehouse had my favorite. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and had live music downstairs. I docked one star from a perfect score because the waitstaff was less than attentive. At one point I asked for another Guiness and the waitress completely forgot about it. That being said, I would still recommend a visit. read more

Decent food, great music, but absolutely horrible service. 30 minutes to take our order. After he walked by us several times ignoring us, I had to go chase him down to get him to come and take our order. Another hour later before we actually received our food. Then I had to go find him again to pay. read more

On our last day in Dublin, we visited Trinity College Dublin and the Book of Kells before heading back to Temple Bar for a drink and lunch. I ordered a whiskey sour and was told they don't serve cocktails but then batsman Dwayne offered to make me one. It was delicious! One of the best I've had during my stay here. The Old Storehouse offers great service, a lovely, authentic setting and great food. Stop by if you're in Dublin. read more

LOVE this place!! I came here during my week long trip to Ireland with my best friend. This place is so much fun! Our Air B n B was in Temple Bar and this place was walking distance from where we were staying. My friend and I came here more than once because we enjoyed it so much. Our first time, we came for dinner and drinks. The fish and chips are SO good. I know you can get fish and chips at most restaurants and pubs in Ireland, but the ones here are SO good! The service is good and the bar especially has great service. This place also has live music! If you're in Dublin and/or Temple Bar, the Old Storehouse is absolutely worth going to! read more

Fun place with great atmosphere and food. They have a. Irish dancer and live music. Super pub. Family friendly. The burgers are ok, as Americans we are spoiled by our beef industry. Don't expect the same meat qualities in Europe. The beer and cider are perfect. The service is exceptional. read more

Friendly Dublin bar, a bit touristy of course, with pretty good live music. Prices and service are adequate, food is all right too. 3 for food, 4 for atmosphere. Noisy and cheerful, like most bars in the area. Got some starters and drinks only read more

solid, consistent pub with excellent music. At first I wasn't quite sure this was the right place to go for dinner with children, but it was actually perfectly fine, there was no wait at all both times we went. I did not expect too much from the food, but what we ordered exceeded our expectations, the seafood chowder and cottage pie were especially good. Waitresses were friendly and patient, which is not a given in such a constantly packed place, it did certainly not feel like a tourist trap. read more

It's a Saturday night, Temple Bar is insane and standing room only, and yet here I sit at a bar listening to 2 Irish musicians playing a mix of contemporary Irish and American music. And the musicians are wonderful! Did I mention the fabulous decor made up of vintage items and antiques that I'd be tempted to pilfer if I'd had another drink or 2. read more

The was my favorite pub while visiting dublin. The bartender was informative and gave us the tip to take the train out to Howth for one of our vacation days.

We had the fish n chips and it was well seasoned and cooked to a golden crisp. The servers were delightful and there was even live music. Even though I'd never heard any of the songs he sang, it was catchy and made me feel like I was getting the full Irish experience haha. Temple Bar area is adorable and I'd definitely visit again! read more

I was a bit apprehensive about the place- after all it used to be Eamon Dorans, the institute for under agers and any one looking for a somewhat indie alternative to the touristy pubs around and who were just too lazy to leave templebar. What a dramatic makeover! The floorboards have been cleaned up from the nasty black they were painted. The place is a lot brighter and a lot cleaner - you wouldn't have any reservations eating there unlike before..Not only that but the place comes with proper customer service, a waiter approached us for our order. The place is completely marketed towards tourists which may have old Doran regulars a bit peeved but to honest Dorans was a craphole and there is much better pubs in Dublin if your looking for that kind of pub. Crown Alley is a nice inviting place with really friendly staff and it location means definite one for the tourists. read more

I change nothing from my previous review because it only gets better. Friends and friends of friends have been coming to Dublin over the past year and I always take them here since I was first impressed back in October. As the locals say, 3 Crown Alley is geared toward tourists, but it is located in Temple Bar. Don't think I haven't bumped into quite a few Irish here though, why? Because when you're here you just can't help but have a great time! OK, So here's why I'm updating my review. - they have free Wi-Fi (provider and code behind the bar) -there are finally comfortable tables and chairs in the smoking area with TREES! No longer just barrels to set your drink on! -the live music has been constantly good, you can hear it from the street and it sucks you in. -on a particular evening a person in our group had some food with them from another place that was just left overs to take home, the guy at the door didn't want to let him in, but we said we really didn't want to toss it. So, He got a bag from their kitchen and put it in there. No hassle. It's all about the franchising, most places (in fact I'm sure all places) have rules about bringing outside food (whether you plan to eat or not) into another establishment. So this is totally understandable, and the fact that he was so cool about it was a super plus. read more
