| An American style brewpub on several levels. Many people have hailed it as a beacon of decent ale in Ireland. The beer (Plain Porter) was certainly very good, although the Oyster Stout had a strange gingery taste. I had a burger, which was very overdone. However, the worse thing about the place was the service. There weren't enough servers and they were badly organised. And the music was very loud.To sum up offers American style ambience, but without American efficiency. I hate to think what must be like in the height of the tourist season. simontheeditor - 5 Jun 2012 13:53 |
| Had the TSB - it was good ale - are all those other beers they brew real ale? These Porterhouse really are a godsend for ale lovers - keep up the good work. kernott1 - 11 Mar 2012 21:14 |
| Deliberately went to find this pub as someone had told me it's the only real ale pub in Dublin. There were a few porters and stouts on and a beautiful pale ale I drank called Galway Hooker. It was the pub's birthday, so it was full of balloons, which was the only downside for me coz I hate 'em. Apart from that, it's a nice pub on lots of levels and the beer was great too. beerface - 1 Jun 2011 16:52 |
| For the beer-lover, the one must-visit pub in Dublin (in fact, the whole of Ireland). TSB might not be the best real ale going, but in a country with a (wholly undeserved) reputation for beer this is almost the only place where you are (almost) guaranteed a decent pint. In addition to their own brews, I was pleased to see that they had the Galway Hooker (somewhere between a pale ale and a lager) on draught. I'll accept that this might not be the best pub in Ireland, but you'll not get better beer anywhere else. rpadam - 12 Dec 2009 14:58 |
| It's quite something, this place. Not far from Leinster House and the Liffey, it is a cask ale oasis in a keg desert. Visiting some years ago, I asked the landlord if he had many people asking for a certain Dublin-brewed stout. He said "they" - the large rival along the quays - had offered to supply them when they opened but that "we" had declined. It's a multi-level place with a decent bottled range as well as a draught selection. The food's excellent too and the place is kept spotless. A very impressive pub and well worth a visit.
