We really liked the food. We came for dinner and a cider. And the next day we got breakfast to go! Staff was friendly but very overwhelmed. The dinner rush was crowded with a live band and lots of energy. We loved it. Irish stew and Bangers and Mash did not disappoint. We did get the wrong drinks and the server never came back so we were stuck drinking them but otherwise everything was great. read more

Very large multi level venue to watch sports and have a pint or cocktail. TVs everywhere. They even show NFL games on the big screen Didn't try the food but the bartender was nice and the cider was cold. They have a big patio area that is shielded from wind Lovely place. Would come back again read more

We came here on our last night in town and it was probably one of the best dinners we had while in Dublin. I would highly recommend coming here early in your visit because chances are you will want to come again. Between the 4 of us we split nachos and fried cheese for apps, then had two Steak on the Stones, Chicken Fajitas, and the Tagliatelle Pasta. Everything was delicious and the steak was definitely a new experience for us - I'm glad they warned us prior to them being served because I would have been shocked. The steaks come out with the slightest sear on them and otherwise complete raw. You use the hot stone provided to cook the steak to your liking at the table. This was hands-down the best steak I had all week. The fried cheese was also amazing! read more

We visited this restaurant last time we toured Ireland. Came back again just because the atmosphere is perfect. The tall, beefy, doorman is delightful! The Fish & Chips is good. Guinness is better! Going to go back for Bangers & Mash! (12-26-21) read more

Trinity Bar and Venue - Look for the Dublin Harps surrounding the entrance! - Sports Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

Had a layover long layover in over summer in Dublin. Ended up in this pub. Ordered a burger. By far the best burger i've had in my entire life, being from the states. They put Applewood smoked cheese on the burger. It really stands out. I had a layover back to the States in October and made sure to come back. I raved about the burger so much that my mother in law ordered the Applewood smoked cheese for me as a Christmas gift. Will definitely have to be back. Guinness was also fantastic on tap. Tasted like a beer root beer float. So smooth and creamy. Loved it. Service was great read more

The BEST pub in Dublin. Staff is amazing. Food is delicious. Service is quick, and the drinks are *chef's kiss*. Lots of TVs for games, and always has live music. If you're a Spurs fan, the Dublin Spurs watch all games here. A must visit while in Dublin. Get the wings and a pint of Guinness! read more

Went here for a quick bite to eat and got potato skins , didn't even get a whole potato and they butchered their pour of Guinness. Left me surprised for it's right in the center of it all in Dublin read more

Another great pub that will cater towards tourists, because they're no dummies. Good vibe and good food.

Not a bad bar around the Temple Bar area of town if you're looking for somewhere to watch the football but probably not somewhere you'd want to head out on a first date to or to enjoy a romantic night out. Multi-screened up and downstairs meaning they were showing all the Champions League games on when we visited, it's quite an expansive and cavernous place meaning you're probably likely to get a seat any time you visit. The beer selection was pretty poor (just averagy lager etc) but it's always a good opportunity to enjoy a few pints of Guinness when in town if nothing else is worth drinking. Serves a purpose and as sports bars go it's better than a lot of the random places I've been around the world and nipped into to catch the match. read more

Tourist from the States visiting Dublin. On our walk around Dublin, we came upon this pub and stopped in for dinner around 5 pm. We were greeted immediately and a gentleman took our drink order. Bring a tourist, we did all the typical ordering...Guinness, Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, followed by several more Guinness. We also ordered dessert ( Irish Coffee and Eton Mess.... which was berries, meringue and vanilla ice cream). Food was delicious, big servings, wait staff was very friendly. There are lots of TVs to watch sports. Great atmosphere and very easy for a tourist like me. Very reasonably priced meals too. Our total bill was under 55 euros (not including tip). read more

This is a great pub for the person looking for a good "Irish" experience without going to a typical tourist pub. The food is great, not typical pub food. There are traditional items on the menu. The Brown bread with Guinness is awesome! If it's a sporting event they have numerous screens and an entire pub downstairs for viewing. On Tuesday and Wednesday they have live Irish music and Irish dancing. It's a great night. Guinness on tap and beers that belong in a tankard are served in a tankard. It's very nice, this is not a hipster pub, so don't look to children for reviews. read more

loved this bar! I had a really fantastic late-night experience here with the fellow American traveler. The clientele of this place, the bar staff, and the drinks were all very nice and complementary of each other. If you're looking for a nice night in temple bar without the huge crowd and super drunk people, this is the place for you. Pro tip: I asked for an extra spicy bloody Mary at 2:30 AM, and what they gave back to me was one of the best spiciest homemade bloody mary's I've had. Or, if it wasn't homemade, give me the name of the mix and I'm going to buy a lifetime stock. It was that good. read more

good place to watch sports in Dublin - caught some American (NFL) football while traveling for work and was able to get decent Irish food. Kindy of loud, but that's what I expected in a sports bar. One knock is they allow smoking inside (as do most European places), otherwise an overall good experience with decent service and a good beer selection. read more

Trinity Bar and Venue - Dublin's Beat Bangers & Mash - pretty good with some Irish beer and reasonably priced (11.5 euro) - Sports Bars Near Me - Dublin, D

This is a typical Irish pub serving standard pub fair and full bar with large TV's for the games. It is two levels and the seating is cramped creating a loud space difficult for conversation. I had the Fish and chips 4 Stars and my wife had the wings 4 Stars. If you like loud and lively you will love this pub. read more

I was looking for a real Dublin Ireland experience. A loud bar, beers, good food steak and potatoes! And I stumbled upon this ! Now I know nothing about this bar because I'm a New Yorker but my experience was great! It was exactly what I was looking for. The beer was crisp, the steak lean, cooked well, the potatoes yummy and the mash sauce was like someone's grandmother was in the kitchen throwing DOWN! I'm so thrilled to have such an experience! In the area was a bunch of bars and lively on a Sunday night. Easy to catch cabs. Spot recommended! read more

This is a great pub to watch a match in. There are plenty of TVs everywhere and there are a few places where it's comfortable enough to stand. The staff are really sound and efficient and constantly running. There are a few pillars in the way of the big screen upstairs but you can work around that. The screens downstairs are super HD! The upstairs bar does tend to run out of drinks and not be able to refill them during the match but if you're really craving it, sure you can pop downstairs. Great atmosphere during the match. read more

NOT WHEELCHAIR USER FRIENDLY. Let me quickly set the scene, four girls are on a night out, they're going to the theatre and are having one drink beforehand and one afterward. Three of those girls meet at the Trinity Bar, two have ordered food when the third arrives, they enjoy the food and drinks which arrive in the usual amount of time. The waitresses are friendly and helpful, the bar staff are rushed off their feet as it is a couple of weeks before Christmas, the girls happily leave the bar and head to meet their friend outside the theatre. They will return to the Trinity bar afterward. Why? Because the Trinity bar is wheelchair user friendly. What follows is the reason why those three happy girls weren't to enjoy their second drink in the Trinity Bar. One of the girls is a wheelchair user. The two girls who are not wheelchair users wandered into the bar at a normal pace, just to check if the third will be comfortable inside with her assistance dog. The doorman tells us the bar is "full up" despite people waltzing in before and after we were stopped. I wandered back inside to identify this discrepancy to the manager. He was mystified and was fantastic in trying to rectify the problem. Unfortunately he was joined by an aggressive man, presumably his superior, who informed us they were full up (they weren't) he was just desperately trying to peddle back in case other wheelchair users discovered how horrible this place is to those with limited mobility. I think the most hurtful part of the whole unnecessary incident was the fact my companion reassured me, as a person without limited mobility, not to worry as this happens quite often. Terrible experience, this place is not inclusive or embracing of the human condition. I will NEVER go there again. read more

The Trinity is a traditional style sports pub in the hub of activity on Dame St at the edge of the notorious Temple Bar district. and up the street from Trinity College so it has a huge young, college crowd.Good selection of beer but poor wine choices and mediocre pub food. I'm not impressed. I'm not a fan of sports bars with TV's blaring and the loud hip-hop music is ear shattering! You cannot possibly speak with anyone in that pub without screaming at the top of your lungs! So the entire decibel level between the shouting,music and multiple TV's baring every conceivably sport from around the world is nerve shattering! Give me the old school Long Hall on Great St George St! read more

Was just in here for the Europa League Final between Manchester United and Ajax. The Trinity Bar is the kind of venue that tries to do it all. Pub with food, club, sportsbar, late night venue with live music etc. Excellent table service with drink priced similar to Temple Bar midweek. (€6ish a pint) Upstairs has a projector with a big screen which makes it a decent spot for sports. Unfortunately upstairs smells like a urinal cake. The cause is 67 urinal cakes and two broken doors. Tip: the trinity burger and a pint is a good deal Monday to Thursday for €12.50. read more

Had dinner here... well, I say 'dinner'. It was a toss-up for me between the burger and the sirloin steak (I like meat!) After choosing the steak the waitress suggested the 'Steak on a stone'. I am familiar with this concept and agreed that the flat iron, which boasted 'not much fat' in its description (THIS should have been an alarm bell in and of itself), was the way forward. What landed in front of me was a tasteless lump of fat with trace elements of cow attached. The actual sections of meat were so thin that within a minute of being served had now cooked fully through. I like my steak medium-rare, so, it was a race against time... "Eat through the fat, Chris!" I told myself. "There's no time to surgically remove fingernail sized Nano-particles of meat! We can worry about the fries later!" After... I was down... upset! "It could happen to anyone, Chris. You made a bad decision. Own it... move on!" However, I was not the only one a this particular dinner table. My friend/confidant, let's call her Robert, had ordered the Cajun chicken burger. Simple, right? I mean... it's a piece of chicken in some bread! What Robert received was the equivalent of a rock marinated in spices inside two thinner bun shaped rocks with month old lettuce and tomatoes for oomph. Robert's dental surgery was successful. The service was good... as were the chips. I wouldn't feed my dog that steak nor bludgeon my enemy with that burger. We actually wanted to tell the couple at the table next to us (who were clearly on a first date and had RESERVED their table, bless) not to bother. Needless to say, that relationship will have got off to a bad start. PS. Robert asked (through wires) if a minus rating was possible. Just saying. PPS. Although clearly written in jest, the subject matter and sentiments behind this allegory are 100% accurate. In fact, despite having had bad meals elsewhere, this was the first time I have ever been compelled to write a review. Hopefully we just happened to eat there on a bad night. read more

Now this was a nice surprise! We stumbled in here hungry (in my case, VERY hungry) after a whiskey tasting and never having been in the place my expectations were basically "food". Well, I will have to come back to give the place the consideration it deserves. The atmosphere is quite lovely - it's not your slightly smelly old man's pub, but not too fancy either (it IS a sports bar - something that neither interests nor bothers me, but might be good to know), just a really nice place - there was live music just about to start up as we came in - and the service was flawless. We were seated right away, the food (very good! I had the goat cheese panini and my partner a beautiful thick cook-it-yourself steak on a hot stone plate) came promptly, and when I dropped my knife, a waiter offered me a new one on a napkin before I could so much as try to retrieve it. Five out of five :-) read more

When you're an American and visiting Dublin, make sure you go here. Also, make sure you go to the bar downstairs and get served by the blonde girl. She will make sure to treat you like dirt on the ground to welcome you overseas. From the first 10 seconds my bar crawl walked in, this lady went to the back to grab her 4 foot stick to go you know where. I ordered 3 jäger bombs which was the special for €10. You guessed it, she was far from pleased to get that for me. She comes back with only 1 shot... What... You're missing 2 hun. So after waiting 5 more minutes and asking her twice for the other 2, she brought back 2 empty glasses. Wrong again hun. She got mad at me and told me I was lying and she gave me 3. I said fuck it and just left to my seat. She finally came over to my seat and SLAMMED the other 2 down and stormed off. Hahahah read more

We stopped in here for lunch. I had the fish and chips which was very good. the fish was crispy and not greasy. My wife had the Irish stew.

(Sorry for my bad English I from France) A avoid absolutely !! Ok inside the music is good atmosphere perfect......but I can't check because the bouncer not let me go. Drunk ? No. Bad clothe ? No. So is very simple I would like to go inside with my friend blind, when I am frond of the bar, the bouncer tell at my friend "show me your eyes, removed your sunglasses" Ok why not but my friend is blind is don't wear a sunglasses for the fun !! When I said "he can't make that is blind sorry" Replied of the bouncer "Ok bye bye." ....... read more

I think I walked into Trinity Bar the first day I arrived in Dublin but I never would have guessed it's end up being one of my favorite bars in the whole city. Service is so good, which I think is probably the main thing that makes it a standout in my mind. As soon as you walk in, they greet you, but you seat yourself. It's just nice knowing that they know you're there and will be by in a few to get your order whether you're eating or just grabbing' a cheeky pint. Plus you can pick yourself out the coziest spot in the place. The atmosphere is good; it's not to loud for conversation and they have candles (all about that mood lighting, ya know?). They play to much U2, that's my only complaint. Actually, It's not a complaint. I support Trinity Bar and their affinity for U2 wholeheartedly. It's a little touristy, which is a expected given it's location right outside of temple bar but my American accent and I fit right in. Would return (and have, on multiple occasions). read more

Stopped in here twice, first time for drinks, second time for food and drinks on my last night. First visit was great, the two barmen who served me were lovely and chatty and introduced me to an irish gin I hadn't come across before (Gunpowder, if you're interested, check it out!). Second visit was a wee bit meh to be honest. It wasn't busy when I went in, and on asking where to sit for food I was casually told "just anywhere". I ordered a pint and pulled up a pew at the nearest table, glanced through the menu and then waited for someone to come and take my order. And waited. And waited some more. In amongst the waiting I noticed there was a whole pile of staff just standing around discussing a colleague's antics from the night before and that no one seemed remotely inclined to serve either me, or anyone else in there at that point. Not cool. I eventually ordered the pulled beef sandwich, which was alright but falling apart pretty quickly as the brioche bun wasn't toasted and couldn't take the pressure. Messy endeavour. The "chipotle" mayo advertised in the menu tasted suspiciously like sweet chilli sauce to me, which was fine, but don't call it chipotle mayo if it's not chipotle mayo! All in, it's a better shout than some of the rip off merchants in Temple Bar, but the service can be a hit or miss! read more

If you're looking for a great venue to watch a sports game, this is a great choice. We came here to watch the rugby world cup (Australia vs Scotland, what a nail biter!) And were not disappointed. The place was not too packed and we were able to get seats pretty easily. The place is set up nicely with comfortable tables and chairs to sit on for a pint or a meal all the same, not as obvious as you might think for a Dublin pub, so that was already a plus. In terms of watching a match, there were TV screens literally everywhere, so no matter where you sat you had a good vantage point of the match, so that was great. Staff were friendly enough and the service was pretty quick and quite good, both the table service and the service at the bar. Would definitely go here again if there's a game I want to watch. read more

Stayed next door at Dublin Citi Hotel and was too tired to go venturing for dinner, so it was an easy option. I thought it would just be regular pub fare, but the food really impressed me! I got the smoked salmon & goat cheese crostini for a starter...great taste and perfect for two! Then took a chance on the lamb shank for entree...excellent! The meat was so delicious and so tender it fell off the bone with a fork! Just when I was done and ready to find a nearby place to check out, a live Irish singer/guitar player and accompanying piper/flutist started playing...GREAT local music! I'm impressed! read more

Such a great little pub, with amazing food, fabulous music, and wonderful people. I had such a great experience.

Awesome 2 course meal deal drink included. Im real glad the pretty lady showed me a menu out front. Just got off bus tour and was starving. Nice and cozy atmosphere with live music. read more

The Trinity Latino night on Sundays is worth a look to get some Salsa & Bachata before the week starts.

Service was bad. Sat down at the bar and the bartender ignored us the entire time. We didn't get served until a manager walked by and saw that we didn't have any drinks. When we got the bill, I paid with a Visa card and they charged me in U.S. dollars instead of Euros, hitting me with a 3.50% markup -- all without telling me beforehand or offering me a choice of currency. When I complained about the 3.50% fee, the management basically told me to piss off. read more

This bar is good for the night time drinks as there does be great atmosphere and just good fun all around. The live music can be loud sometimes but not to bad. The food can be quite tasty but sometimes on the bland side but that is the same in most pubs i guess. Good choice of cocktails and drinks little bit pricey. read more
